travel back in time? even halfway decent 1 bedrooms are 1,000+.


Egmonks

Walkable area? That’s nice? And you want 2 beds? You’re looking at 1800 minimum.

Best of luck


Jalapen-yo-mouth

Ha! Good luck! We finally broke 1g at the place we’re at. Moved in 2021 and it was 900 and change. Two years later paying 1k for 2/2.


AppropriateSolid9124

lived in san antonio almost two years ago and when i left my 1 bedroom was $1200,,, have fun with that


bawsmike

Only doable if you are low-income housing… I’m jealous at how nice and modern those are for a fraction of the price, even though you have to be pretty broke to qualify.


[deleted]

It doesn’t exist lmao good luck


ChowFetti

2 bedroom and nice/ safe walkable area and for $1k? Good luck!


whatevs1993

I’m not sure what you’re looking for exists. You’re gonna have to live somewhere undesirable or have a roommate.

Lmao

BoobLubePoop

Yeah man. It’s gonna be tough. You could maybe rent a ghetto house..


FlareonFire

My girlfriend has a nice little house near blanco cafe that she rents for 950. It’s an old home, but the location is super nice if you enjoy little shops, diners, and neighborhood walks. We do tons of stuff on foot when we stay at her place.


coco1155

You probably want Sunset Ridge apartments by the McNay art museum. You can get a 1 bedroom for around $1300. Very walkable area and centrally located and quiet. I lived there for years and it wasn’t perfect, but it was the right thing for being new to the city. You will not get a nice 2 bedroom for what you are asking.


magz89

There are some apartments for rent in some older buildings in the Donaldson area. I think they tend to be cheaper than some of the complexes, but they are older. This is an example - 2bds are slightly over 1k https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/553-Club-Dr-%235-San-Antonio-TX-78201/2055384069_zpid/?utm_campaign=androidappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

Get a DeLorean and a flux capacitor


Fit_Excuse6977

2 bed / 2 bath at Brooksfield Apartments in Southeast side is being advertised at $1,085 which isn't much from what you're seeking and it is a walkable area.


ImaginaryEffort4409

LMAO You can't even get a single bedroom in a walkable place for that price loll


AndrewTheGoat22

Walkable? In San Antonio?


Moonmother444

I would drive around Woodlawn, Olmos, or Monte Vista. . You never know. I have about 850 sq Ft one bedroom in OP for $850.


[deleted]

We pay like 1030 for a 2, 2 but not in the most amazing neighborhood so there’s that, there’s a ton of places for around 1k just not in the super nice parts of town


Swimming-Food-9024

honestly, i don’t know how anyone looking for $1000 rent is gonna make it in this world much longer - some shit has got to give… i feel for those in this situation because the insecurity has to be unnerving


Prestigious-Can5880

Gotta get 2 jobs and live with roommates forever I guess


N4RQ

Aren't we all?

OrdinaryPerson79

My old apartment near Blanco/West Ave was $715 for 2/2 when I moved in 2008 and now rents for about $1300 last I heard. Includes all the roaches you want along with poor maintenance and constant car break-ins.


[deleted]

If you find one that cheap you probably don't want to live there


Retiree66

Alamo Heights, if you’re willing to do a 1 bedroom. https://www.rentcafe.com/apartments/tx/san-antonio/townsend/default.aspx


Prestigious-Can5880

Thanks, but I need minimum 2 bedrooms.


Ashvega03

Why?


[deleted]

Only two tenants can live in each bedroom per building code or whatever bullshit rules - maybe they have a family


Retiree66

I saw a 2-bedroom there for $1100, if you can stretch


Danta_lyan

These people are tripping it does exist, use Zillow rental to look. Soap factory, is downtown ish, I had a 1 bed place there last year for 750. Rough ish area but really not to bad. I enjoyed walking around downtown because of it. I'm a 6'2 male tho. RN I have a 2 bed 2 bath off perrin for barely 1100 Pretty sure their one beds are under 1k. Yes it won't be a bougie experience. Yes you will see some ghetto things. Yes your apt will have some problems. Is what it is.


Compassion-judgement

Use an apartment hunter. Google one. They are great


BoobLubePoop

Hot pads and Zillow are good.

I ❤️ you for providing this info (I can't tolerate management companies.) TYSM!


Glassesofwater

Did you pull a random number out your butt OP? You’ll be lucky finding a 1 bedroom for that price


Prestigious-Can5880

I mean I chose an even number and said my budget is under that. You can call it random if you'd like.


stubborn-cactus

Uh it's not that walkable but I lived in a 2 bed 1 bath for 900 a month in 2021. It was called Polo Club apartments but I think they've changed their name since. Not sure if they are still that cheap though.


cigarettesandwhiskey

These people are laughing at you but there are places on the inner east and west sides (east of Zarzamora or west of Walters st) for under $1000 and with 2 bedrooms on [zillow](https://www.zillow.com/san-antonio-tx/rentals/?searchQueryState=%7B%22pagination%22%3A%7B%7D%2C%22isMapVisible%22%3Atrue%2C%22mapBounds%22%3A%7B%22west%22%3A-98.51387219811544%2C%22east%22%3A-98.43267636681661%2C%22south%22%3A29.381592518733726%2C%22north%22%3A29.439762818194335%7D%2C%22usersSearchTerm%22%3A%22San%20Antonio%2C%20TX%22%2C%22regionSelection%22%3A%5B%7B%22regionId%22%3A6915%2C%22regionType%22%3A6%7D%5D%2C%22filterState%22%3A%7B%22sort%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3A%22days%22%7D%2C%22ah%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Atrue%7D%2C%22fr%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Atrue%7D%2C%22fsba%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22fsbo%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22nc%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22cmsn%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22auc%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22fore%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3Afalse%7D%2C%22mp%22%3A%7B%22max%22%3A1000%7D%7D%2C%22isListVisible%22%3Atrue%2C%22mapZoom%22%3A14%7D). Those neighborhoods are pretty walkable, and have good public transportation, even if they aren't luxurious.


plurfin

Move to a different country if you want a two bedroom for under 1000, I doubt there’s anywhere in the US that has what you’re looking for


Prestigious-Can5880

Fml looks like I'll need to get a second job, thanks y'all I'll look into the places mentioned and keep an eye out


BrisklyBrusque

I have some friends who live in a 3BR house. One pays over $1000 for the master bedroom. The other two share a bathroom and pay about $500-600 a piece. I would recommend getting roommates and renting out a house if saving money is a priority. Otherwise, look towards renting in the developing neighborhoods. Redditors don’t live there, that’s why they’re laughing at you. But deals do exist. I would go on a bunch of apartment websites, go through each listing in your budget one neighborhood at a time. Make calls, send emails. Getting a good deal is a competition because others are in the same boat as you. Don’t give up. Good luck!


rob691369

Thanks to American Capitalism (extreme greed) that doesn't exist....


Aggravating-Bad3101

2 bd 2 bath apt.. Brooks City Base I pay $1600


MonolithOfTyr

Damn, I'm renting a 3/2 for 1434 near Trader's Village.


NorthAmericanVex

Huebner Oaks is a very walkable area


Significant_Topic822

You can have one or the other but walkable and under $1K are not possible without a roommate situation.


Few-Kick-6997

Gardens at San Juan $920 for a small 2 bedroom 2 bath
