Nope. Olmos Park only has 2300 people. University Park has 23,300. And the median in Olmos Park is 128K, while in University Park, it is 151K, so where are you getting your numbers from? Mine are from the Census.

The comment was "not very many if any" past or present not true. SA didn't build nearly as many as Houston, Dallas, Austin no argument there.

It was per capita Olmos @ 65,697 and University @ 63,414 it was a link from another poster on another thread. I have been to both Highland Park and University Park I didn't realize University Park had that many residents.

Yeah, more residents than all of those cities that SweetHomeSanAntonio listed combined. And I was looking at median family income.

The Dominion is inside SA city limits where as Hill Country Village and its neighbor to the north Hollywood Park are not.

Those cities he listed are beautiful areas but are small in population, SA suburbs that touch SA city limits are all small. DFW suburbs are huge like Arlington, Irving, Grand Prairie, Mesquite, Garland etc., I can't think of another metro in the nation that has those kind of numbers maybe LA?

Okay, but University Park isn't a suburb. And besides LA, you also have Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, etc.

If University Park is incorporated it's a suburb to me. I know all those cities have you lisited have a giant list of suburbs, what I meant was suburbs well over 100,000 DFW has several where as Houston has one Pasadena, Chicago has four.

Ah,the things people will argue about.Personally I would rather live in SA any day although I now live in the Dallas metro area.Unfortunately,SA fall and winter season allergies would make life there miserable.Dallas is nice and I am not in any way knocking it,but SA has the Hill County area,Austin up the road,great cultural heritage,New Braunfels nearby,Schlitterbahn nearby,the Guadalupe rafting close,Fredericksburg nearby,the river area downtown,the coast and Port A only a couple of hours away,among other things.SA was my first choice when we moved as empty nesters looking for something new.But my health wouldn't allow it for 1/2 the year.

I didn't know allergies were worse in SA than DFW, is it the dreaded mountain cedar in the Hill Country. I had allergies to mountain cedar when I was younger and then out grew it I guess, it doesn't bother me now. I know it can make life miserable for the six weeks or so when it's in season.
