Thank you so much for all your info. this is exactly what I needed to know the good/not so good areas of town specially the ones to stay away from (those with high crime). I will take your offer to e-mail you seriously if that is ok. I want to get imput from someone who knows their town and being born and raised there I think qualifys you as the person I need. Thank you will reasearch the areas you mentioned.

When I read the posts about traffic....it makes me wonder. We are contemplating a move to San Antonio from the middle of North Carolina. Are there issues with traffic jams on a daily basis? Do people use any type of transportation to work if they live in a suburb? There are just busses right? There seems to be so much to do there that the heat may not bother me, but if the traffic sucks so bad...I may reconsider.

Thanks!!!

Highway building has not kept pace with development in many outlying areas around SA. If you plan to live in a suburb, you should plan to face traffic unless you choose carefully. You can avoid traffic in your daily commute if you factor it in to your search.
