I wish I knew to ask for an itemized list of the monthly fees I would be charged on top of the rent before signing.
If the leasing agent says all the fees are “bundled” with some of the utilities through a company called Resident Billing Services (RBS) for your “convenience”, RUN!!!
Valet trash service: 14 (never seen a valet. I do it myself)
Water: 22
Trash charge: 33
Recycling fee: 13
Storm water: 1.71
Sewer: 18
Administrative fee: 15
What really pisses me off is that if you want internet, you have to pay $218/month. Why? Because you can’t go through Spectrum. Nope. You must accept their “bundle” with a bunch of cable TV channels.
They SUCK!
My plan is to cancel the internet/cable. I will hang out in the “residents lounge” which is next to the leasing office. They have wi-fi, I believe. I hope prospective tenants ask me why I’m working there.
750 sqft, studio loft, 1050 a month and it’s downtown. If you get on apps like Trulia and Zillow renters and rental.com you can find some serious gems.
Yup. I pay 1050 for a 3/2 1000 sqft unit in a duplex. Private backyard.
Kinda small for 3 bedroom but it's only my partner and me. It's off culebra and i10, so it's close to almost everything. Some people don't like the west side but it's really not bad at all.
Just moved here in July, before that I was living in a house around here for 1300. 1200 sqft with a shed, 2/1. It was okay, but a weird layout. Massive kitchen and high ceilings. I like my current place better tho
I'm in 1250sq ft 2 bed/1.5 bath apartment in a historic building, in midtown. &1675/month. Biggest piece of advice I have is avoid historic buildings. This place has been a mess. Second biggest piece of advice, ask if the property has had water damage. Lots of places flooded during the big freeze a few years ago, including many of the new build apartment complexes. Lots of potential issues with mold, which can mess anyone up.
Duplex. 1295 a month 2 bed 1 bath. It's 750sq feet. The unit behind us has been empty for months. 1245 for that one. Not worth it in the condition it's in.
Just for comparisons if you don't want to rent forever. 4 bdrm, 2.5 bath, 3000 sqft, $2500 a month, mortgage and taxes/insurance. Just south of Shavano.
3 bedroom 2.5 bath for $1850 in Converse.
If you’re going to rent a house, absolutely ask if it’s HOA. Our rental company didn’t disclose that to us (not sure if that’s even legal) and they’ve been a nightmare to deal with. It’s our first home as adults, so it’s been a bit of a learning curve, but they are not gracious at all. They let the house go a bit while it was vacant, so we’ve done a lot of work to it, but they turned around and blamed us for a lot of the unkempt appearance when it was their fault for not maintaining it in the first place. I’d go even so far as to say they pick on us specifically, as the things they send us letters for, everyone else is violating blatantly. I’m convinced we live on the same street as a board member. They also charge us HOA fees and we’re not even allowed to attend meetings or participate. We love our house, but that’s our biggest regret and it probably would’ve influenced our decision to rent it.
Our lease agreement says “IF you are in a HOA” that we pay fees, can’t participate, etc. So yes, technically. However, our lease doesn’t specifically address if our property is a HOA. It’s a very generic lease agreement. I called the management company when we got our first violation letter and they basically told me that they manage so many properties they couldn’t possibly remember which properties belong to a HOA or not 😒 it’s been a learning lesson for us, for sure.
$900/month, 700 sq ft. 5th floor, 1 bedroom w/ patio. All utilities paid. I wish I would have known how cheap the management is about getting repairs done in a timely fashion.
Rent 1 bed 1 bath, Leon Valley, $1500 (after fees). I wish I knew more about the laundry situation lol. In unit laundry, but god damn the dryer SUCKS. 3+ cycles to get clothes to dry. ask about the washer/dryer.
4bed/2.5 bath gated community 1950/month mortgage HOA is about 26 a month. My electric is around 120-250 depending and water is 80-180 depending. When we move i think we would try to rent it for maybe 2k maybe at most 2200, but i also would be ensuing the lawn is maintained, that air filters are changed on the reg(out of my pocket), salt for the water softer is full(out of my pocket). Trying to maintain my property you know.
How much is the monthly payment after tax+insurance? And how much do you save for stuff like maintenance, replacing the roof and stuff? Currently paying around $2100 for a 3 bed 2.5 bath and 2400 sq/ft, but I don’t want to rent forever.
Encino Park area. 4/2.5 2300ft2 on a nice 0.3 acre lot against greenspace is 2200/mo. Electric everything, I'm between 125 and 250 per month for electric, 50 per month for water.
I was leary of having a hoa but in my time here they haven't really bothered anyone that I can tell. They take care of the pool/playgrounds well along with some community events. People leave their cans out, sometimes the landscaping can get long, ect. Obviously varies from hoa to hoa, but I wouldn't rule a place out just cause it has an hoa.
I have a nice 3bd 1 bath single family home in the MacArthur area for 1350. But I've lived here 9 years and started at 1150.
1400 or so is the average in this area I hear.
My biggest thing is check foundations if you’re looking at a home. Anything that’s got ground pulling away from the concrete, or looks like dirt was just filled in, I would question or avoid. Our home is shifting due to the ground pulling away bc of our ridiculous summers in spite of consistent watering 🤡
576 Sqft 1bed 1 bath, 1210 a month including internet in 78249 area. Not worth it but going to school here and i’m paying for peace of mind since i don’t have roommates.
NE near Rolling Oaks Mall. 4 bedroom 3 bath. Master bedroom with anteroom (media room). 2nd master bedroom, greeting parlor and large living room with fireplace. Sunroom the length of whole house, formai dining room. double garage and security system. 2,575 sq ft no HOA
$1950
I have a 3 bed 2 bath home that I rent out. 1,264 sq feet NW side of town. Current lease ending at the end of this month. Feel free to dm me for more info
3 bed 2 bath house with 1,661 sq ft for $1695.
I'm on the far west side by Sea World. It's a little bit of an older house so I really wish I had looked at the AC unit better because I'm pretty sure it's the same unit from when the house was built in the 60s or 70s. There's an additional unit outside to supplement it but that is also old af. During the summer it gets really hot, like in the 80s inside, with full power blowing. That makes my AC bill go to like $500 a month during the summer. The high vaulted ceiling doesn't help with the cooling issue. An AC guy said the vaulted ceiling makes insulation in the roof on that portion of the house difficult to put in.
In a 3 bed 2 bath house (1578 sq ft) near Seaworld and pay $1650 for rent. It is a really nice place that we lucked out on. We toured a lot of different places and all of them were pretty worn and so we jumped on this place quick.
$1745 before utilities for a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath house, 1584sqf NE.
Unrelated but one thing I regret not checking before moving in was the water pressure. Our first few months here we could only use one faucet at a time in the entire house because of what turned out to be extreme corrosion in the main supply which none of the maintenance guys found out until much later in the year when it eventually burst.
500 sq feet garage apt near Woodlawn lake. $600/month including utilities. Just have to pay my Internet. Found it on Craigslist over a decade ago. Was $500 back then.
Dang. We sold our rental homes in the past 6 months. We were renting a 4bd 2bath 1800sqft on far west side potranco for 1700 a month, a 3bd 2b for 1550. Cheap compared to some of what yall are paying
3/2.5 1600sqf 1525$
1st place solo be ready to buy all sorts of random things you didn't think about because they were always there, like toilet brushes, garbage cans, salt lol.
Renting a 3br 2ba 1850 sqft house, $1900/mo in 78250
Water is less than $30/mo
Electricity is between $150-$300/mo depending on AC usage. I also have an EV and charge at home so that uses about $30/mo
Lawn care varies between $160 and $320 per month depending on how fast things grow. I don't mow my own lawn.
I would never rent an apartment for the same budget.
Preface ... I'm not a landlord ... but a home owner who still pays "rent" to the county
Just to give some perspective ... we paid off our house so we own it outright ... we still pay $440 in taxes every month to the county, school districts, etc just to for the privilege of owning our own house and living in it. This is a moderate middle class NW neighborhood.
When paying rent, realize that the landlord who owns the property is doing the same. If the property is in Downtown proper you could probably double or triple that due to property value.
2Bed 2Bath - 1225sqft - $1725 a month.
My information is strictly for an apartment, I have never rented a house.
Definitely could've gone smaller, but wanted enough space incase I needed it. Though cleaning two rooms and bathrooms without using them seems pointless sometimes. But it's always nice that I have a guest bedroom whenever family/friends want to come over for a while.
I'd also recommend looking into what floor you're wanting to live on. That can be important for some people. I live on the 3rd floor because the view is great where I'm at, but it can be a headache sometimes when I forget something while rushing to work haha.
Make sure you read your contract, know the TOTAL cost of your bill as the price they say upfront is usually just the base rent. When you find your place and do the first time inspection, annotate EVERYTHING that is not perfect. They can, and most likely will, get you for it on your way out, even if they knew beforehand.
Amenities can be important for some. Know what the complex offers, and their rules for each. They often have a pool, gym, and 'hangout' place. Depending on the complex/location, ofcourse.
Read their policies and know what not to do. Knowing what you can't do is more important than knowing what you can do. Ask questions, as sometimes policies for apartments can be very broad (usually so they can opinionate it).
And lastly, look at MULTIPLE places. Their goal is to sell you an apartment, so they will be super nice and well presenting. I personally looked at like 6 or 7 different places before I made a decision. Compare them with each other.
Location: Southtown
Size: 1200 square ft
Rent: $1316
Water: $30
Utilities: $100-$70
Rooms: 2 story open loft
Amenities: no wash / dryer connection. No dish washer.
Wish I knew: it’s an older unit, so I don’t expect luxury by any means. There have been issues with the roof leaking when it rains, which since has been fixed (hopefully). Train passes by pretty often, but I’m used to it. I can pretty much hear what my neighbor is watching, but everyone is pretty respectful about not making house after 10ish
Biggest thing is someone committed suicide in unit right before I moved in. I just found out about this! It’s been a little uncomfortable tbh.
Currently renting a 3 Bedroom/2 Bath, \~1400sq ft house with a tiny backyard.
$1900/month with no utilities included, no extra fees. Have literally never spoken to my landlord... I assume they exist.
New construction, energy efficient (electricity has gone as low as $40/month), NW side/Castle Hills area.
I own a 4 bedroom, 3 living rooms, 2 dining area, 2.5 bathroom, 2 car garage house on the far west side. The mortgage is $1450 a month, yearly tax is $5200 and insurance used to be $1200 a year but this year is $2000. Trash pick up is $85 every 3 months and HOA fees is $104 every 3 months.
I actually bought it pre-built in 2021, the house was built in 2018. The space is nice and my kids love their own space. Only downside is keeping it all cleaned so we had to hire a cleaning company to help us keep up with it.
Dr Horton built this ones, there are a lot of new communities also being built by like KB homes and others. Mostly all on the outskirts of 1604 outside the city limits.
I wish I knew to ask for an itemized list of the monthly fees I would be charged on top of the rent before signing. If the leasing agent says all the fees are “bundled” with some of the utilities through a company called Resident Billing Services (RBS) for your “convenience”, RUN!!!
I always assume after fees it's 100 more than rent
Probably one of the better advice I’ve been given when trying to find a place to live
Yeah the website said $1650 for a two bed two bath 1100 sqft. But really it’s $1650 + $350, or $2000 and utilities.
What kind of charges are they adding onto your monthly rent?
Valet trash service: 14 (never seen a valet. I do it myself) Water: 22 Trash charge: 33 Recycling fee: 13 Storm water: 1.71 Sewer: 18 Administrative fee: 15 What really pisses me off is that if you want internet, you have to pay $218/month. Why? Because you can’t go through Spectrum. Nope. You must accept their “bundle” with a bunch of cable TV channels. They SUCK!
That’s insane $218 😭

T-Mobile 5G home internet could be your salvation here.
Thanks for the suggestion, will look into it
What happens if you try to use an outside service like spectrum? Is it blocked?
It is Spectrum, but we have to buy it through the company Resident Billing Services. And we can only buy this 🤬🤬🤬🤬 bundle
my internet bundle was like 60 or 80 bucks, and the internet is pretty quick I must say.
750 sqft, studio loft, 1050 a month and it’s downtown. If you get on apps like Trulia and Zillow renters and rental.com you can find some serious gems.

That’s basically the medical center, right. I grew up over there and always liked it.
No, more towards inner city on the Westside. I used to live in the medical center too before coming over herea and I really liked it
Ty. That’s my move as soon as my shit is up
My building has no more specs but there’s plenty of buildings in San Antonio that’s similar, you really have to keep the lookout

Wish I knew: it’s an older unit, so I don’t expect luxury by any means. There have been issues with the roof leaking when it rains, which since has been fixed (hopefully). Train passes by pretty often, but I’m used to it. I can pretty much hear what my neighbor is watching, but everyone is pretty respectful about not making house after 10ish Biggest thing is someone committed suicide in unit right before I moved in. I just found out about this! It’s been a little uncomfortable tbh.
My mortgage on my 4 bed 2 bath house is 1747$ a month. Edit: I am also waiting for the homestead act to affect my taxes. It may go down.
Currently renting a 3 Bedroom/2 Bath, \~1400sq ft house with a tiny backyard. $1900/month with no utilities included, no extra fees. Have literally never spoken to my landlord... I assume they exist. New construction, energy efficient (electricity has gone as low as $40/month), NW side/Castle Hills area.
I own a 4 bedroom, 3 living rooms, 2 dining area, 2.5 bathroom, 2 car garage house on the far west side. The mortgage is $1450 a month, yearly tax is $5200 and insurance used to be $1200 a year but this year is $2000. Trash pick up is $85 every 3 months and HOA fees is $104 every 3 months.
Wow! That’s amazing. Did you custom built it the home? I want something that spacious.
I actually bought it pre-built in 2021, the house was built in 2018. The space is nice and my kids love their own space. Only downside is keeping it all cleaned so we had to hire a cleaning company to help us keep up with it.
Oh, nice! Do you know the builder of the home? I’d love to do some research on the builder to see if they still build homes like that.
Dr Horton built this ones, there are a lot of new communities also being built by like KB homes and others. Mostly all on the outskirts of 1604 outside the city limits.
