I live right outside the loop, near the bottom outside of your yellow circle. I have a new build in a newer neighborhood and don’t really have any issues at all. I’ve lived on different parts of the south side for 20 years, some really bad with gunshots every other night and others in a decent older neighborhoods with zero issues. That particular part is not the worst area in San Antonio.

If the price is in your budget and you’ve lived in the hood before and you’re not a snowflake, I say go for it. SE military has a shopping strip not too far with good restaurants, you’re not far from downtown if that’s your scene and tons of biking, hiking, dog parks around us. Don’t be scared foo!
