San Antonio

Step back in time to discover something new in San Antonio, Texas. There is something magical about the River City, so named for the San Antonio River that runs through the middle of town. What is old is new and what is new is spectacular. This city�s rich culture gives visitors a true glimpse of early Mexican roots as cultures shifted throughout the Southwest states. It was also the first civilian settlement in Texas, founded in 1718 by San Antonio de Bexar, so its historic roots run pretty deep and are on full display to this day.

San Antonio at a Glance San Antonio is Texas� best-kept secret. With cheap real estate, low taxes, and a small-town feeling with big-city offerings, the Alamo City is downright attractive from the jump. The mild winters, historic sprawl through green spaces, and an economy on the rise just seal the deal. In just over nine years, San Antonio has seen a population growth of 16.7%, and its economy is having no trouble keeping up. This growth means higher property values, higher median income, and a drive to keep developing local industries with the future in mind.

Where is San Antonio? San Antonio often flies under the radar in Texas, especially with neighbors like Austin, Houston, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area surrounding it, but that is what San Antonians--and savvy travelers--like about it. The city enjoys a gently rolling terrain within oak trees, lush forests, and cacti as the San Antonio River strolls through. The climate swings between humid subtropical and semi-arid, so if you enjoy warm weather this is the place you need to be. The summers are long, with some scorchers lurking between July and August, but considering you will have a chilly margarita on the RiverWalk, that should not be a problem. The winters are mild and cool, but short-lived as spring kicks in early to warm up for the summer.

Private flights arrive at the San Antonio International Airport, located just shy of eight miles from the thriving River City center.

The River Walk is a natural tour guide. It is lined with eateries, bars, museums, and riverboat tours.

Or, maybe you have been lured to Market Square for live entertainment, shopping, and the famous Farmer�s Market Plaza.
