Your San Antonio Moving Guide

San Antonio may be the 7th largest city in the United States, but if you're living in one of the residential areas, you probably won't even notice the large population that resides within the city's nearly 412 square miles of land. That's because unlike other large cities which are comprised of primarily urban areas, such as New York City, San Antonio has an abundance of bedroom communities that offer housing opportunities for people with all tastes and preferences.

Among the most popular parts of the city are:

1. Alamo Heights - If you're moving to San Antonio with the goal of living close to the heart of the city, this may be a good option for you. Though property prices are on the high side, Alamo Heights is located only a few miles from Downtown San Antonio.
2. Far North Central - If you're looking to live in a ritzy neighborhood, Far North Central can be just what you're looking for. The homes are luxurious and celebrities can be found strolling through the area. Who knows, you may end up living next door to Eva Longoria!
3. Far South Side - This neighborhood is growing in popularity among middle class families, as its attractively priced homes are both amply sized and affordable. The local South Park Mall offers famous retail chains such as Foley's and Macy's, though more glamorous shopping can be easily accessed in other areas of the city, such as the bustling Northwest Side.
4. Northeast Side - With 4 school districts, this part of the city offers great educational opportunities. It also houses The Forum, one of San Antonio's largest shopping centers.
