Universal City is a small, quiet Suburb. It is a family based community with a mix of newer and older neighborhoods. Randolph Air Force Base makes up a large portion of the town. The large military population gives the community diversity and patriotism. Outside of base, the town makes an effort to connect with the families of the community. The fire department hosts a monthly Pancake Breakfast, the library frequently offers family events, and the town hosts "movies in the park" every summer. The police department always puts on a pumpkin patch during the fall and hosts the annual Christmas tree lighting/fair. As far as day- to-day life, The Forum offers many stores and diverse food options. The town also has the typical grocery stores ( Walmart, Target, HEB) so there is no need to travel for everyday essentials. Being just 30 minutes outside of the downtown San Antonio and about an hour outside of Austin makes it easy to experience "City Life" without the city rush!
Universal City is a small suburb of San Antonio characterized by what seems like a bunch of furniture stores! The shopping centers in the area are a decent size but seem kind of outdated. The food selection on this side of town are mainly fast food and chain restaurants. I wish this side of town had more diverse food options and were local. Other than that, the city is very clean and lovely!
I really enjoy going to the forum shopping center. There is a wide variety of shops and restaurants to visit. It’s very nice to walk around and to shop. There is also a wide availability of job opportunities due to the constant opening of businesses. There also very many gyms to visit if you’re looking for a good place to work out and even some walking trails not too far. Lots of cute little shops such as Starbucks and World Market to visit. It’s a wonderful place to live and everything is in very close range of each other. Retail, food, lifestyle, very nice.
