My family and I will be relocating to San Antonio from Houston in a few months. I wanted to see if we could get a little help where to look as we are not overly familiar with the area. We have made several short trips to check things out so we're starting to get some ideas.
Our children will be attending The Atonement Academy off of 1604 and Kyle Seale Parkway. As it stands now we have a pretty long commute to their school here in Houston so we're looking at this as an opportunity to cut down on that and move somewhere with a shorter commute. We'd ideally like to be in an older neighborhood but one that is safe. We have looked into Braun Heights/Braun Station West and like what we see. Our budget (depending on whether or not we do a remodel) is 240k - 300k.
We're trying to gauge whether or not this is where we should be looking and if there is another place. I've heard that Helotes is nice but the traffic would be awful because the infrastructure has not been put in place to support all the new construction. Boerne would be nice but it sounds like that would rule out an older home in our price range.
Any and all advice/help on places to look, safe neighborhoods and traffic trends would be much appreciated.
