This week we’re looking at a recently updated home near Five Points.
Craigslist
More people have been looking to move to San Antonio in 2023. (Especially from Austin!) But San Antonio rents aren’t dropping. From finding your perfect new home to negotiating rent prices, searching for an apartment in San Antonio can be quite the experience. Taking inspiration from our sister publication SFGate in San Francisco, MySA is looking at local properties showcasing the best, worst, and everything in between here in the Alamo City. Let’s guess the rent.
Last week’s apartment gave us a glimpse of what apartment living is like near Southtown and Blue Star, while also giving us a peek at the cost. We are going to head northwest of downtown San Antonio to look at a home near the historic Five Points neighborhood. The landlord has listed a 1,485-square-foot, three-bedroom home located at 321 University Ave., San Antonio, Texas 78201.
The house is directly northwest of Five Points, where you can find restaurants like M.K. Davis with its crispy dogs, a ramen joint called Kimura, and fish taco hangout called The Cove. The home has also been recently renovated, according to the listing, which could mean a higher rent.

Finally, a backyard. It’s been a while since we’ve seen one of these. It’s not spectacular but its good to know what you’re getting, which includes a driveway that extends into the backyard.
So how much do we think this home costs? The Craigslist post says the home costs $2,200 per month. However, the Zillow listing says the home is $2,000 per month. Either or, the cost is in line with other rentals in the area. I would go with the Zillow listing if you’re interested.
