Neighborhood names to research
An editorial starting list, not a ranking or a recommendation. Confirm boundaries and the address on a map.
Check the actual address
- Daily travel: test your work or school route at the time you would use it. Check transit frequency and the return trip.
- Walking: look for continuous sidewalks, usable crossings, lighting, and the route to your regular destinations.
- Housing: compare current listings with the same bedroom count. Add utilities, parking, deposits, and any required fees.
- Schools: confirm the address with the district’s attendance-boundary tool. A city name or nearby school does not guarantee enrollment.
- Safety: check local incident reports, their dates, and reporting coverage. We do not rank neighborhoods by an inferred safety score.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I compare neighborhoods in San Antonio?
Start with the exact housing address, then compare routes to work, school, groceries, and healthcare. Check current listings and district boundaries. Neighborhood names alone do not establish price, safety, or eligibility for a school.
Are the areas listed here ranked?
No. The names are an editorial starting list. MoveNumbers does not have verified neighborhood-level data to rank them. Map results may include similarly named places; confirm the city and address.
Why are the old scores no longer displayed?
Earlier safety and walkability scores used simplified citywide formulas; amenity counts were inferred from population. Those figures could not support neighborhood-level decisions and have been removed.
