Help with San Antonio Zip Code 78203 please (map)

[Nina M.]

Hi everyone,

We are looking to buy a rental home in San Antonio. A bit nervous, not sure if we are buying at the top. Anyway, trying to learn more about San Antonio.

How's the area in the map below in terms of vacancy rate, crime rate etc? Seems a B- or C neighborhood with decent rental price. Is a single family home easier to rent or a multi-family one?

Thanks a lot for your help

Hey @Nina M. have you driven in the area?? I know that you are in the Bay Area, but you have to look at the area in the daytime and the night. Google the information that you need. The area is gentrifying somewhat, but it has been for the last 20 years. There is still plenty of BAD element very close by. Personally, I dont want to live so close to rough areas.

With that said, there are plenty of rehabbers who are doing great in the area. There are plenty of new people coming into the area also. I hate to give you a mixed review, but that is kinda how the area is, very mixed.
