San Antonio Reviews
Rating 4.21 out of 5 4,488 reviews
San Antonio is where I grew up, and in my eyes, this place is great! The obvious tourist locations are the River Walk and the Alamo, which features amazingly delicious food, some good ole Tex-Mex, as well as rich history, from the valiant battle of the Alamo to the haunted hotel right next door. The missions around town are also great for learning more about Texas history. These places, alongside The Pearl, are great places to stroll through and hangout with family and loved ones. Generally, most Mexican places will be top-notch, and there are also a diversity of other food places too, from Vietnamese restaurants, like Pho Viet, to Chinese ones, like Golden Wok. One change I hope to see is in the urban and road development. Currently, the traffic problem is getting worse, and I'm worried the development of a multi-lane highway on 1604 will only lead to worse traffic as is in Houston with their multi-lane highways. Still, I love this city and will cherish my memories here.
Overall, my experience living in San Antonio, Texas has been great! I really enjoy the small-town feel of the city combined with big-city amenities. There's always something to do, whether it's visiting the Riverwalk or exploring the historic missions. The very mild winters are also a big plus for me. One thing I particularly like about San Antonio is the low cost of living and cheaper real estate. It is more affordable compared to other major cities in Texas like Austin or Dallas. Additionally, the city has a booming economy with plenty of job opportunities. If there was one thing I could change about San Antonio, it would be the traffic. It's not as bad as other cities I have visited, like Houston, but there are times when traffic can be frustrating and time-consuming. Overall, I am happy living in San Antonio and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to live.
I was born and raised here in San Antonio, I've always loved the culture here and the unlimited activities to do here. My favorite parts of the city is the Alamo Quarry market, The japenese Tea gardens and of course downtown San Antonio. A couple things I would love to see changed are the street conditions, a lot of streets/roads are very worn down and have major potholes that are dangerous. I'd also love to see more family safe activities. There are a few that I have seen or heard of but upon seeing and hearing about those places, some aren't intirely safe for kids and me being a mom of 2 (my son is 2 years old and stepdaughter is 5). Overall after living here for so many years, theres always something new coming to the city or happening in the city!
