With talks of the great California exodus, it’s clear that people are moving to Texas. Even celebrities. As rents appear to be plunging in some U.S. cities, that doesn’t seem to be the case with San Antonio. From finding your perfect new home to negotiating rent prices, searching for an apartment in San Antonio can be quite the experience. MySA is taking inspiration from our sister publication SFGate in San Francisco to find local properties showcasing the best, worst, and everything in between here in the Alamo City. Welcome to Saytown’s “Guess the Rent” series.
This two-story, two-bedroom and two-bathroom duplex at 210 E Arsenal Street is not far from the historic King William District with a balcony overlooking Southtown.
The rental found on Craigslist is about an eight-minute walk from Southtown that includes a path over the San Antonio River to popular restaurants and nightlife spots like the Friendly Spot and Rosario’s. Let’s take a look inside.
The dining room space could fit a large table for entertaining, or maybe you want to switch it up and use this space as the living room.
