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.
This week we are heading up north outside of San Antonio to look at an apartment at the Hill and Fair Oaks outside of Boerne.

Last week, our Guess the Rent trip took us to a renovated home in Tobin Hill near the St. Mary’s Strip. It offered up living space near one of San Antonio’s bustling food and drink spots. This week we are heading back up north past La Cantera and the The Rim to look at an apartment on the way to Boerne.
This week’s listing is a two-bedroom unit at the Hills at Fair Oaks Apartments located at 8700 Starr Ranch, Boerne, TX 78015. The apartments are north of the Dominion area and right outside of Fair Oaks Ranch. That should be one clue to the pricing, or the rental figure could surprise you. Maybe. The apartments are also near a new H-E-B in the Lemon Creek Ranch development.

It’s your standard bathroom with a tile shower. The little accent stripe of tile is a nice touch.

Now on to the bathroom, which is trying too hard to be unique, but it’s a bathroom that provides the necessities. The brown tile stripe in the shower does give it some character.
This cozy park area is a nice spot to cookout and lounge.
