i have a couple friends that live in SA. One lives near the sea world/fiesta texas area and it is nice. homes are kinda close together, but they have a HUGE backyard. another lives in North SA, on 1604 near 281 i think. they also live in a nice area, but not expensive. if you get a house, be careful who the builder is. some of them are building cheap homes, but they look nice. i'm trying to remember the name of one, but can't. if it pops into my head, i'll be back!

You would be thinking of KB. Their homes have the shelflife of 8 years before they fall apart. Yeah, you get 4,800 square feet, but the cheapest finsihes on the planet, no pads under the carpet and 1/4 inch plywood under the shingles. DR Horton or Is a great builder for not much more money. There are tons of his developments along 1604. I'm not a huge fan of his architecture, but my friend Heather got a Horton home brand new in Sonoma Ranch for $128K (for 2,000 sq ft) and its good solid construction. A little close to the other houses, and I am not personally a fan of the architecture, but hes a solid builder.

Actually, I'm kinda liking San Antonio for the most part. Except for days like today where it rains and you can't drive on half the roads for risk of hydroplaning. The main reasons I don't like the town stem from my drivers license saying "under 21 until 18 sept. 05"

Thats a Texas thing, not SA. Get up north sometime (after you turn 21, lol) and we'll show ya how us northsiders party.

KB houses are like huge boxes. That's it! There seem to always be complaints on the news about KB homes. Our house is a Medallion home. Medallion was building energy effecient homes way before it was the thing to do. Alot of their materials are more environmentally friendly than other's materials. I love our builder. I only wish they were in Austin since I may have to move there eventually.
