Whether you are moving to San Antonio or already live here, this section will provide information about neighborhoods, schools, moving here, or other facts about living in this great city. Below are some general thoughts and advice for living in San Antonio.

San Antonio Traffic

When road and freeways need to be repaired, improved or built, the city, county and state highway and road departments start all of these projects at the same time. Bureaucracy is such that the highway and street projects commence on the same date and end after several months or even several years. Currently, two major interchanges are being constructed concurrent with a number of major highway projects. Consequently,San Antonio traffic is a stand-still situation in many places.

San Antonio Suburbs

Living in the suburbs of San Antonio can be very peaceful and enjoyable. Many new homes are being built in San Antonio and the focus of new residential construction is north of San Antonio. Communities near Boerne, Bulverde, Bergheim and outlying hill country areas north of San Antonio are the hot spots for new houses with large lots and acreage. All of these new developments enjoy a country living lifestyle with beautiful views, natural surroundings and deer at your doorstep. The advantage to rural lifestyle in this region is San Antonio being just a short drive from these beautiful hill country neighborhoods. The only drawback is the roads leading to and from these north San Antonio communities were not prepared for the amount of traffic that currently exists. The rush hour commute can be quite time consuming even though the distance may not be that great. But overall, the San Antonio suburbs and outlying developments are beautifully designed and the Texas hill country surroundings are unbeatable.
