My wife and I are planning to retire in the next few years. We're considering San Antonio because of being near family. The weather is great — warm most of the year with an average of 72F.
Cost of living looks pretty reasonable. How's the healthcare situation? Any retiree communities?

For families, I'd recommend looking at Riverside. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

I've lived in Downtown for 12 years and it's still one of the best decisions I made.

Don't sleep on University District. It's up and coming and still affordable.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

The job market has been improving lately. Several education companies moved in recently.

If you can afford it, Lakewood is the best place to live. Period.
