I am getting ready to move with my family to San Antonio. It is a sudden thing, so we have to find a nice place VERY soon. My husband has been there once a few years ago and he really liked the area around UTSA. How is that area now? Would you reccommend any apartments out there? I know the Northeast side is the best, so I'm looking for a nice complex...2 bedroom/2 bath flat for UNDER $750. We have to stay close to the airport.
I have been looking at Oakwell Springs and Foxfire. Are they decent living for a young family with a newborn?

The area around UTSA is nice and there are some nice apartments available in the range you mention as it is close to the university.
Of the apartments you mention I am only aware of Oakwell Springs. This is close to the airport but it is also directly on Loop 410 which will increase your traffic noise.
Another area you might consider is along the northern part of Harry Wurzbach (avoid older complexes unless recently remodeled) This would keep you in the same area, but get you off Loop 410, still in the Oakwell Farms area. Or consider looking along the Nacogdoches area just inside Loop 410 going into Alamo Heights, try for apartments in the 78209 zipcode. This will be a liitle higher cost, but better crime statistics.
Overall, most of the north side is OK, but watch out for addresses on the major freeways as, again, the road noise will be greater.
Welcome to San Antonio!

Alamo Heights/ Terrell Hills! Northwood Estates/Oakwell Farms is nice also. Alamo Heights has two good elementary schools. The wealthier kids go to Cambridge, but Woodridge is excellent. You can find very nice apartments in AH. Also, some old apartments and condos. Northwood Elementary is good. Oakwell Farms has nice Apartments. Many Newcomers live in the Stone Oak area. Hardy Oaks and Stone Oak are good public Schools. NEISD has many exemplary schools. Boerne is a great option also in the wealthier neighborhoods. Fewer gangs and drugs. Private schools: St. Luke's, St Pius, St Mary's hall, Keystone.

I love San Antonio, what a great city. Lucky you! But unfortunately, I don't know squat about what neighborhoods are best.
I would strongly suggest you call a Realtor in that city, tell them what you have in mind and have them forward information to you.
