Might transfer from Houston to San Antonio for work. The offices are located off i-10 and DeZavala. Good parts of town to live in and even more important, good school districts?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

there time get out

The I-10 and DeZavala area is really nice, very yuppie (Fox & Hound pub, a few sports bars, Flying Saucer [high-end beer place], etc). There's a lot of great housing in the area - apartments and homes. If you're looking for old houses with character, duplexes and the like you won't find many, mostly new ('80s and up) construction and within subdivisions, or apartments - around $600+, up to about $1000/mo., for a 2 bedroom. I assume, since you mention school districts, you have children and would need the space.

You can rent a home, which would probably be your best option, and there's plenty of those options around for you. As to schools, some of the best are in that area. Hobby Middle School. Clark High School. I'm sorry, I don't know of the elementary schools, although I'm certain they are safe and well-ranked.

I am black, so I notice race issues / relations, and I will say that the area to which we're referring is very, very white. That's not exactly a bad thing, and it (frankly) usually means good schools, few gangs, some drugs but nothing too serious, etc. I don't know how old your kids are, and thus how much these issues apply to you. Nonetheless, it might prove helpful.

Other than www.moveforfree.com, there's also bradfieldproperties.com, which has a number of listings for houses and apartments. Of course, Craig's List has a number of listings for apartments and options in the Medical Center (a five minutes - or less - drive from your potential work neighborhood). The Medical Center, by the way, has a number of opportunities for housing, dating, socialization, etc. I-10 and Wurzbach. There's a SuperTarget, Dave & Buster's (adult / kids' mixed use gaming and fun place, mega-store), and an art film theater (Santikos Bijou) at Crossroads Mall, which is very near both DeZavala and the Med Center. I saw "The Reader" there last week (great movie, by the way).

I just moved here not to long ago... Wish I would have had someone to guide me! The areas he gave you are the best, finding that around the medical area is not so bad. My girls go to Marshall High and Rhodes Elem. Both seem to be pretty good schools. My youngest is in the special ed program and they didn't waste a minute helping her get where she needed to be. STAY AWAY FROM SAM HOUSTON AND W W WHITE!

They are both located on the south side far from where your looking so shouldn't be a problem.. I'm not by any means against any schools, but reverse discrimination plays a big part in it. My kids went to the Sam Houston & W W White, and well they were the only White kids there. They didn't have a problem with it since we come from a diverse town, but the other students did. Moved on the other side of town as fast as we could.

Now we love it here and wouldn't go anywhere else for the time being. I have noticed that people here just seem more friendly and more apt to be concerned about each other. My new neighbors helped us move in! Little worried at first but it's just how they are here.

Stay in the Northside school district and you will be fine.

sorry-i cant help ya-ive lived on the NE side pretty much all my life. Wood/Madison ya know but wanted to say that you ppl who reached out were very friendly, and i liked that jmo tnx
