[74-911]

We lived in SA for 35 years (69-2004). It is a great place to live and we may end up moving back eventually. SA has exploded in growth in all directions the past ten years or so but most of it is to the North/Northwest up IH10 west and 281 North. There is also a lot of growth up IH35N towards New Braunfels. SA is not in the desert as someone posted but at the edge of the TX hill country to the North and the beginning of the coastal plain to the South.

As to water, it is feast or famine as is much of TX but with the incredible growth the long range forecast is strict water conservation most of the time. Water is going to be a big issue in many parts of TX in the future. Average rainfall in SA is around 32 inches but you may have 6 months of drought followed by 14 inches in one day. Last year most of TX was in the worse drought since records have been kept followed by near record rainfall in places this spring ??.

There is a lot to do there and an easy drive to Houston, Dallas, etc and the coast is only 3 hours away if you are into salt water fishing, etc.

San Antonio's biggest problem is trying to keep up with the growth and traffic can be pretty bad ( not Los Angeles bad however)..

A definite plus: Jones Autowerke is one of the best Porsche shops in the country..
