Awesome Deals on Rent in San Antonio: Here’s What $700/Month Will Get You in Alamo City

A mix of Mexican culture and Texan attitude make up the historic city of San Antonio – or as Lonely Planet puts it, the Lone Star’s “most compelling city.” From its rustic Spanish missions to the high-design Pearl District, it’s easy to see why Alamo City is gaining momentum as one of the best destinations of 2016. Forbes and CNN are also singing the city’s praises, naming it a top 10 contender for both job growth and “America’s Cities of the Future.”

So what does it take to put down roots in one of the next big boom towns? Yardi Matrix places San Antonio’s average rent at $943/month, over $200 lower than the national average of $1,181/month.
