Money is no object, by the way. Please select a neighborhood that is located with-in the city of San Antonio. (Not surrounding suberbs or cities).

Actually, homes in Elm Creek range from $450,000-$3.5 mil. A little steep......Alamo Heights: I've heard a lot of nice things about that area.

The nice thing about Alamo Height is that you can still find a home for $300K, but it'll be a cottage and a fixer-upper. But it will be cute. Also, it doesn't have a guard gate which is nice.

You know what I love about this question? It's so obvious how much San Antonionians LOVE their city. That is very cool!!

What a great response! It appears that established, older high-end neighborhoods are what people fancied most! Alamo Heights, King William, Monta Vista, and Elm Creek got high marks. Thanks to all who responded.

If you want to live with the George Strait/David Robinson crowd, then it is the Dominion which is in far northwest SA (but still inside the City Limits)
A gated community that is closer in but probably in the $300,000 range is Elm Creek.
Closer to downtown is Terrel Hills or Alamo Heights (where the old money lived before some of it moved to the Dominion.)
The newest trend is RiverWalk and downtown condos. I never, ever thought I'd see that here. But alas, condos in the half million dollar range per unit are springing up everywhere. The top six floors of the Hyatt Convention Center hotel will be private residences. There is another new development that has been announced for Houston Street near the AT&T headquarter (and right across the river from the Valencia hotel.
There are lots of choices. SA is still an expanding market. We're always slightly behind the timing of the building booms when they hit Houston and Dallas. But this time, it's still going in SA. It helps that the Toyota plant just opened, Microsoft announced a half billion dollar facility and the NSA (yes the spy agency) is taking over a facility for 2,000 workers.

Just to clarify...all the SA Spurs do not live in the Dominion. Actually, most live in the Stone Oak area. It is the newest "hot spot", but really lacks any true class. You can find some homes in the low $200's, but most range $300-$400. Understand, the cost of living in San Antonio is quite cheap. While this does not sound like a lot in some areas, even the most extravagant homes in the Dominion are not what you would expect price wise.
Alamo Heights is the place with the oldest money in town. It is refined and actually feels like a small town though it in the heart of the city. The King William district can be found here. This area is full of beautiful architecture, museums and parks. You actually cannot get any better in SA. There is nothing cookie cutter about this area!

I've always loved Alamo Heights, and I've lived in S.A. for about 30 years, now. But you have remember, Alamo Heights is its own little city within San Antonio...
I don't really like my neighborhood, but, being that there's so many S.A. folks here, I don't want to say what my neighborhood is.
If money were no object, I would live in Alamo Heights.

I would go with Monte Vista. It's just as nice and elegant as the other neighborhoods but it's still lowkey.
The Stone Oak is nice but it's your basic cookie cutter master planned suburb if you ask me. I haven't been too terribly impressed with the condos downtown. I was thinking about it since I'm a single guy in my late 20s but I just didn't come away with that "WOW! This is a great development!!!" feeling. I think some even more spectacular highrises are on their way.

i'm no longer too familiar with Windcrest, yet from what I examine, it kind of feels to be a intense high quality community. uncertain of your age, yet maximum citizens look drawing close retirement. i comprehend the 35/410 site visitors by utilising Windcrest is a nighmare....yet using maximum places in the time of rush hour in SA is undesirable. I worked at ft. Sam Houston (FSH) for terribly almost 3 years. i think of the final public of FSH workers probable stay on the Northeast area of city, purely off of 281. most of the those that I worked with at IMCOM, lived in stay Oak. stay o.ok.is a great community, yet i'm uncertain if there are inexpensive leases obtainable. i think of there are various leases between 1604 and 410 and replenish of 281. those areas at the instant are not extremely as intense high quality with the aid of fact the stay o.ok.section, yet inexpensive with a short trip to FSH. i comprehend many different FSH workers that stay on the NW area of city or interior the Boerne section. great neighborhoods, however the trip is rather undesirable! desire this facilitates.
