Universal City vs San Antonio - Finding the Best Apartment for You

Universal City vs. San Antonio: Finding the Best Apartment for You

To be candid, this is a great problem to have. Choosing between the lively, colorful and historically rich downtown San Antonio district and the suburban gem that is Universal City can be a pleasant quandary. Let’s look at the advantages of both of these amazing locations. 

Universal City is San Antonio’s Happy, Cozy Suburb 

Universal City often reads as being the quieter, more family-friendly environment. This makes it ideal for families, retirees or someone who is single and simply prefers a slower pace. If “cozy” or “quaint” tops your checklist then you might want to take a drive around Universal City and what it has to offer for you. 

For those military personnel who are relocating to an apartment in San Antonio, there is also the matter of its immediate accessibility to Randolph AFB. Local military members as well as government contractors who work on or around the base appreciate how easy it is to commute to and from work. 

The cost of living in San Antonio is a bit higher and that also means that Universal City gets a check in the win column here. Universal City apartments are generally less expensive which allows you to consider a possible upgrade when it comes to renting a nearby apartment. You might also appreciate the quality of the school districts in and around Universal City. Outdoor recreational areas such as the popular and celebrated Universal City Park will also be at your fingertips. 

The Bright Lights, Big City That is San Antonio

Downtown San Antonio and the immediate area is popular for a number of reasons. Here, residents embrace big city shopping and nightlife venues. From the downtown high rises to the colorful and richly populated historic districts, an apartment in downtown San Antonio would definitely please those who love that big city life. 

Downtown is where work and play go hand in hand. From high tech to healthcare, San Antonio’s bursting economy means more job opportunities across the board. There’s never a shortage of things to do, know or explore when you choose an apartment in downtown San Antonio. 

As well, you don’t have to be a tourist to appreciate the district’s hot spots. Daily walks and dining along the RiverWalk are within reach. Here, you will also find a number of popular nightlife options, museums and historical sites that never grow old. However, you will likely note that an apartment in downtown San Antonio comes at a higher cost and with fewer amenities such as on-site or routinely accessible street parking. 

Which is the best choice for you? Take your time and then consider the true benefits of Sagebrush Apartments in Universal City. Our location is ideal for those who love a quiet urban setting. However, San Antonio is just as accessible with a quick run drive down I-35 or Loop 1604. We also feature a lengthy list of luxurious amenities and spacious but affordable floor plans. Once you’ve seen the rest, check out the best. We invite you to schedule a tour of your next home at Sagebrush Apartments today.
