I have lived in San Antonio since the late 70's, left to Corpus Christi in the late 80's , came back in the early 90's and stayed since. I travel alot, but San Antonio is the best place I have ever been to live. It's close to everything. The coast, the lakes, the rivers, lots of nice theme parks like Sea World, Six Flags and Schlitterbahn (voted Travel Channel's #1 Waterpark in the USA). It's beautiful downtown and has a nice zoo. Christmas is very romantic with the lights on the river and all the river carolers and the San Antonians party every Friday in King Williams, plus there's the big New Year's bash downtown on the streets and don't forget Fiesta, a 10 day festival all over the entire city so big that on the last Friday, no one goes to school and all the downtown businesses (banks, government and other than entertainment) close up. It was rated #2 for sunshine on the Travel Channel under San Diego California. We do have a lot of sun. August is the hottest in the 100's. This has been an exceptonally dry year. But it comes in waves. 2 years ago we had so much rain we had to close the school twice for fear of flooding the students into the schools and not getting home on the busses. Our number of sunshine filled days are over 260 per year. If you are biracial, move to where I teach in Judson ISD near Wagner HS or where I live in NEISD over by MacArthur High School. You will be very well accepted and it is very diverse. I live near McAllister Park (280 acres, soccer fields, hiking and biking trails, baseball fields, a playground and day camping areas) I am 3 houses from the back end where there is just park and wildlife. My home is a 1600 sq ft home and I could sell it for $89,000. Any other state, my house would sell for $300,000 easily. The more expensive homes are in Alamo Heights where a small vintage house will run you $150,000, but really good schools, but not too excepting of biracial. The New Rich live in the Stone Oak area. Very white, very conservative, very expensive. If you want to live in the area but not in San Antonio, the Helotes area is nice, New Braunfels, Boerne, Bulverde (basically anything North of San Antonio). Seguin is very accepting of biracial. I have a child who went to AH and didn't feel accepted and he was bi-ethnic (as his girlfriend) half hispanic/half german (from Germany). Hope that all helps. Or email me at lmsg_13@yahoo.com |

I moved here ten years ago and I like it a lot. The schools are pretty good, people are friendly, low crime rate, and you can still buy a house in a good neighborhood for a reasonable price. Also, the culture is really diverse because of the hispanic culture and also because several military bases bring in people from all over. They guy who warned about tornados is lying; I've never heard on one here in the last ten years; we do get a lot of hail storms, though! Feel free to email if you have any questions about what to do or best places to live here. |

Originally from Dallas. Ended up in SA when military stationed me here over 10 years ago. I've stayed for a reason. The attitude of the majority of the population is extremely friendly and accepting. There are several nice neighborhoods - I live in Olmos Park - and I believe we have some of the best housing and living costs in the states. Have you contacted a realtor yet?
Feel free to email me if you'd like even more specific info. |

It is a GREAT city!! I have lived here for almost 10 years and it is great. GO SPURS GO!! It is rich in culture and has the best Mexican food in America. There are lots of places to shop and you can go to Six Flags and Sea world. |

It's very HOT here right now! Biracial couples are accepted here, I'm in one myself. I have only lived here for a few yrs so I don't know anything about the schools here. If I were you I would live on the out skirts of San Antonio, because there are a lot of people that live right in S.A. GOOD LUCK! |

If you're confirming moving down here from Canada, drop me and an email and we can meet up and chat.
I'm also relocating from Singapore to San Antonio myself.
I did a lot of research on this place before and i heard a lot of good reviews about it. The weather's fine with me as Singapore is just as hot as well as it's on the Equator |

All these people bad mouthing San Antonio are really ignorant. I lived there almost ten years and I still visit regularly cause of family. It's really nice there. If it's hot, use your a/c people!
My father is one of the top realtors in San Antonio. He can answer all of your questions:
210-477-4858
210-863-0206
1-800-650-3745
Seriously, he's a good guy. |

The Ant mound has been my home for all my life except for the 4 years I spent in the Navy. The city is great, but is rapidly outgrowing itself. Too many people moving in and not enough industry to supplement them. In some of our newer neighborhoods people are actually moving from other parts of the country and living solely off the equity of their homes which they sold for much more than they paid for the one here in San Antonio. Just like any city it has it's share of crime and has gotten worse with the influx of more people moving here. As for the weather we rival Phoenix during the summer for consecutive 100 degree days but our humidity is much higher. And no we do not have a lot of tornados here in fact it hardly ever rains. I don't know what the sirens that the other guy was talking about but they don't exist. |

I spent two months in that area! Downtown San Anton is beautiful specially the "river walk". It is quite green! Two minor things: It gets extremely humid (BAD for people with breathing illnesses) and tornadoes (warnings and sirens all the time).
I would love to move there if I could!!! |

Why San Antonio? Just curious why you picked this city. It is hot and avordable, an okay town. |

San Antonio: aren't the SHARKS from there? Or is that San Jose? Anyway, ROBOT Records is (was?) based & operated from San Antonio, so that's always a good plus. Nuff said! |
