Default Moving to San Antonio

Anybody live in the area and have recommendations as to what part of town to live in? Does anyone dislike San Antonio? It seemed really nice while we were there - for a couple of days anyway. We're just looking for an apartment for now.

How's the car show/cruising/legal drag racing scene?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
Ryan

ive been to an area off of military drive - out where they're doing a lot of construction - off of the loop (410?) by sea world and it was a very nice area.

north i-10 is nice. especially around the 1604 loop.

also 1604 and 281 is a bomming area now. just dont go central or south....it's ghetto. stay north.

I would also recommend 151 between 410 and 1604 (near Seaworld)...nice area, traffic isn't too bad, access to just about everything. That part of town is really starting to grow.

If you're looking for apartments/townhouses, there are some really nice ones that were recently built at 1604/Bandera.

Good luck with the move!

I agree its a nice complex. Slowta is just bitter because they wont let him have a club in his living room. We've seen your car before, quite nice. If you ever see a white TA or suburban getting sideways up the entrance, that is us.

I used to live near the 281 & 1604 area. Nice place.

Check out the San Antonio F-Body guys, they usually do something every week.

I live on the NE side, near Madison high. Great spot to live. If you have kids, the schools are top notch.
