Wurzbach Meadow (Leon Valley, Center, West: rentals, condos, low crime)

[ben123]

Hey everybody, I am looking at possibly purchasing a property in the Wurzbach Meadow neighborhood which is close to the loop, I-10 and the South West Medical Center. From what I know, this is a new neighborhood that is currently under construction and should be fully built by the end of this year (if not sooner). Does anybody know anything about this location that hopefully they can share with this out of towner? Is this part of Leon Valley and if yes, how would you rate the quality of life or neighborhood in this part of the city? I am looking at an investment duplex so renting it out to the medical staff or UTSA staff or students will be a strong possibility.

My overall plan is to purchase an investment property, possibly a duplex from 150K to 200K. Now that I have opened up this thread I might as well squeeze this in... could someone suggest which areas I should be looking at for some decent neighborhoods (properties), easy to rent, low crime rate and accessibility. It sounds like I should be staying in the North/North Central. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

By the way, I have read a couple of years worth of threads and this is my very first post. I just wanted to say, thank you everybody for all your suggestions, great information and time!!! You guys are awesome!

It might be a good idea for you to research the inventory of property rentals at this point in time. Get with a good Realtor and see if you can crunch some numbers. It's more of a buyers market right now, but some areas have a glut of rentals from people who purchased at the height of the bubble. Obviously, the best time to buy is when prices are low.....not sure SA has hit a "low" yet.

As far as rentals in the Medical Center Area.....there a tons of condos/duplex/apts etc. Be sure to do your homework. I'm afraid SA is too big and your information requested is a bit to broad to be answered here. A professional would be your best bet.
