Hi everyone!!

I was wondering if there was anyone here from San Antonio? My husband and I currently live in WA state and are seriously considering moving to TX. My husbands work is opening up a plant in SA and he has put in paperwork for a transfer. Frankly, we are looking for a better life. We hate living paycheck to paycheck and sometimes not even making that! We seem to always be paying the first bill that is threatening to shut us off. I have done quite a bit of research on SA and feel it would be really good move for us.

What's the best way to look for a job over there? I would like to have one lined up before we move and not after. Also, I would like to find a nice neighborhood to rent in for awhile. I don't want the stress of trying to buy a house from another state. We are renting here and are not locked in a lease. We want a neighborhood with reasonable rent but don't need HIGH rent. Any info out there at all would be wonderful!!

BTW, I know it get's hot. I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley.....115 in the summer and fog in the winter. I'm pretty sure I will be fine. AND, once I can get my band and get the weight off, I know heat won't bother me as much.

Thanks guys!

Hi Amy! I also live in Austin, an hour away from SA. The company I work for is based in SA, so I will ask around about housing; I know nothing about neighborhoods there. What kind of job are you looking for?

San Antonio is a great city. It's very spread out, but it has a lot to offer, and plenty to do without spending too much $. For me, just walking along the riverwalk is a lot of fun. Of course, the beautiful old missions in the area, and the historical sites are great. Plus, you are right on the edge of the hill country. When the city gets to you, just drive west for a bit, and you will be in beautiful country, with some funky ol' small towns.

Anyway, I will ask around about neighborhoods, and if you let me know what kind of job you are looking for maybe I can be useful?
