Calling all UTSA Downtown students, The Paisano has not forgotten about you. Last week’s edition to Spare Change covered Northwest San Antonio’s best-ranked living under $1,000, but we are switching gears this week. While finding well-rated living under $1,000 is nearly impossible to find downtown, here are the most affordable living options rated above 4.5 stars on Google.
Remember that Google reviews’ tenant satisfaction may not accurately reflect reality because people who evaluate apartment complexes most likely have an exceptional experience on either end of the extremity. Save for the apartments without enough reviews to be considered reliable; a few of Google’s best-rated, affordable apartments in downtown San Antonio are as follows. If you are a Downtown Campus student or simply in the market for a pad downtown, this one is for you.

Act fast, readers. Some of the above living options may sell out fast. But when you are apartment shopping for your new place, be sure to do some research of your own. Read the reviews, ask around, check the area’s safety ratings, look for amenities you need, keep your eye out for hidden fees and remember you get what you pay for. Good luck, home hunter.
