San Antonio Property Market and Real Estate Guide

(San Antonio, Texas - TX, USA)



Photo of San Antonio city centerThe Texan city of San Antonio is a huge conurbation found in the ever-popular American Southwest. Texas tourism is centered on San Antonio and while the city center is a bustling hive of life, the surrounding areas are peaceful and tranquil, making it a great place to live for a wide variety of people.

Downtown San Antonio is the main focal point for visitors, although the majority of people who reside in the city live in Midtown, Alamo Heights and Uptown Broadway. North Central is a great place for families to purchase property, and anyone looking to invest in a property to rent out to the 26 million tourists who visit every year should look into buying property close to the Downtown area.


The city has a large military presence, and many attractions such as the Riverwalk, the Alamo Bowl and the Tower of the Americas are literally world-famous. There are numerous different cultures based here, with Tejano being the most obvious Hispanic area, and the whole city has a vibrancy that many big US cites lack.

Renting Serviced Apartments

Renting serviced apartments in San Antonio is simple and they are easy to obtain. Prices are reasonable for those looking for long term lets, and the facilities on offer, along with the furnishings, are modern.

Security is a usual feature of renting serviced apartments in San Antonio and extras can include a maid service, while only a few of the centrally located rentals offer parking spaces. The closer to the heart of the city the property is, the higher the price will be, with downtown apartments available at three times the price of those further out of the city.

Buying Apartments and Houses

Paperwork is the biggest hassle for non-citizens purchasing a property in San Antonio, and the process is lengthy and time consuming. You can expect to add around seven percent in legal fees on top of the property purchase fees. A solicitor, along with an estate agent, will be essential to ensure that the complicated process runs smoothly.

Real Estate Agents

Spanish is widely spoken in San Antonio, along with English, and finding an agency is relatively simple. Use the Internet to locate a company that offers homes for a price that suits your budget, as well as checking out properties that are located in particular areas.
