While millennials continue to migrate to the suburbs, the metropolitan downtown environment is rapidly drawing a new demographic: retirees. Rather than downsizing to a new house in the same community, many retirees are taking an interest in exploring the city scene. If you are looking for a city to live out your golden years, downtown San Antonio may just be the perfect destination for you. Read on to find out about the senior lifestyle in San Antonio, TX that you can expect.
Affordable Cost of Living
San Antonio has a cheaper cost of living when compared to other major Texas cities. The inexpensive cost of living is a reason San Antonio is an excellent spot to retire. After Austin, Dallas, and Houston, it is the least costly of Texas’ four major cities in areas that include everything from rent to food! When compared to other big metropolitan areas, such as Los Angeles or New York, where median property costs are in the millions, San Antonio is an absolute steal.
Plenty of Amenities
Life in downtown San Antonio provides an abundance of opportunities to pursue new interests and hobbies. Whether you’ve always wanted to try your hand at golf, yoga, hiking, kayaking, or photography, downtown has plenty of activities to keep you busy. Libraries, boutiques, entertainment venues, coffee shops, pubs, religious institutions, and even medical facilities are all within walking distance.
Sense of Community
The suburbs of San Antonio may be quiet and secluded, but nothing beats a community with a strong sense of togetherness. Neighborhoods with strong personalities, such as Southtown and Dignowity Hill, encourage neighbor connectivity and camaraderie. This type of inclusivity has been identified as a significant benefit for retirees wishing to make new acquaintances just next door.
Amazing Walkability
Downtown San Antonio has a high level of walkability in a city that is heavily reliant on cars. Residents are only a few streets away from well-known cultural attractions, boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, and the River Walk. If you want to continue an active lifestyle after retiring, exploring San Antonio on foot will do the job well. Living in the neighborhoods of King William, Lavaca, and Southtown will mean the center of San Antonio culture is right outside your door.
Vibrant City Life
The city boasts a vibrant downtown section centered on the well-known River Walk, which is dotted with stores, taverns, and restaurants. Residents and visitors visit the River Walk for entertainment and cuisine all year. There are also world-class music halls and performing arts venues in San Antonio.
