Possibly relocating to San Antonio from Chicago. Any neighborhoods there with walkable areas comparable to the North Shore burbs?

Personally I love San Antonio! However it’s very different from Chicago. To me, it’s got an up and coming downtown area that feels like Austin (before 10000000 people moved in). People will probably disagree with me there, but I lived in Austin for years and found it to be overrated and stupidly crowded. The areas I’d recommend are Olmos Park, Alamo Heights, King William District , Pearl Brewery, and Southtown. They have great restaurants, bars, outdoor spaces, and farmers markets. You can really get a sense of the community and pride locals have, and become a Spurs fan in the process! I would not move to the burbs at all, it’s too far out and it really doesn’t showcase anything pleasant about San Antonio - you’ll just be sad

Thanks for the inputs everyone! I know I'll have to have a car, was just wondering if there are any little walkable "villages" anywhere that I could live close to.

Don't

LOL, there’s only 1 reason / company why you move to SA. The Dominion would be the closest to North burbs, but you will 100% need a car. Everything is so spaced out in Texas / SA.

Don’t.

Nothing in SA is like the North Shore. But it’s a hell of a lot warmer in January!

Op, go go go Geo expansion 😁

If you’re on the fence about jumping to another firm or starting to look elsewhere, realize that loyalty is often only skin deep in consulting. Prioritize your career goals, whether they be financial otherwise. Praise and appreciation are nice, but don’t let ANYONE make you feel bad about choices you make for your happiness.
