Hello everyone! Does anyone know that area around Fort Sam Houston well? My husband and I are looking to rent, and I was wondering if any of you knew a good place that is safe to rent? Thank you!

Re: Fort Sam Houston Ladies?
Right around Ft. Sam.. there is nothing "safe", in a affordable area. Alamo Heights is the only one I can think of, but its a pricey area if youre looking for a house. Base housing isnt too bad, idk your DHs rank but its pretty quaint. Then you dont have to worry about electric, gas, lawn or house maintence. Also for school aged children, all the schools are on base which is great.
Its about a 20 minute drive but I suggest the Schertz, & Selma area if youre looking for a house. They have pretty good schools over that way too.

I don't believe that God ever tells us "no". he has three options. Yes, not right now, or I have something better in mind. We just have to wait & see.
Thanks! Is Alamo Heights a housing community or an apartment complex? I think we are looking to get an apartment right now.But that's good to know about the housing on base, we will keep it in mind!

On post housing is nice there- it's one of the only posts where I would consider living in military housing.
Alamo Heights is the community name- it's an area near post. It is very nice, but pricy. I don't know about schools in the area.
I grew up in San Antonio. I agree with pps that the area closest to base is not so nice. Alamo Heights is a wealthier area - they have their own school district. I had friends who went to high school there and they liked it.
One of my best friends lives in an apartment in Universal City (which is near the Selma/Schertz area mentioned by a pp), and they really like it. The only thing not to like is the traffic on I-35 at rush hour. I sat in that traffic many times after work on my way to visit her - not fun.
There are also nice areas along hwy 281, but there is also a lot of a traffic going that way at rush hour.
