On-campus dorms, off-campus student apartments and even rental home costs are skyrocketing. While San Antonio’s cost of living is nowhere close to the mini California prices that Austin suffers from, decent-quality apartments can be difficult to find, especially those under $1,000. Save for the apartments without enough reviews to be considered reliable, we have listed a few living options within five miles of the UTSA Main Campus that are rated above 4.5 stars on Google and are $1,000 per month or cheaper.
Remember that Google reviews’ tenant satisfaction may not accurately reflect reality because people who review apartment complexes most likely have an exceptional experience on either end of the extremity.
