This week, Guess the Rent heads to the Far Northside for a ‘modern’ two-bedroom apartment in Stone Oak.
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.
The loft we looked at last week was trying very hard to maintain that industrial feel with the exposed brick and ventilation. This week we are heading to the Far Northside to look at a two-bedroom apartment in Stone Oak that the listing calls “modern” and “spacious.”
From what we can tell, the apartment does match what most modern apartments look like today, with stainless steel appliances and an open concept space. The 1,063-sqaure-foot apartment is in a complex called The Abbey at Sonterra, not to be confused with the The Abbey at Stone Oak. The Abbey comes with amenities like a resort-style pool, a dog park, a dog spa, and a gaming lounge.

Not sure if the apartment really comes with a yellow accent wall, but it would be a design challenge.

I’m not sure we’re just looking at a model unit, but this living room comes with a yellow accent wall. My guess is the rooms come with more neutral colors. The door in the back leads to the patio.
Stainless steel appliances seem to be the standard with most apartments.

The kitchen comes with stainless steel appliances, which is standard for most new apartments. The dark shaker cabinets are a nice contrast to the appliances.
Wide windows in the bedroom allow plenty of natural light.

The dog spa at The Abbey will let you skip having to make an appointment at the groomers, allowing you to give your furry friend the spa treatment on your own.
So how much does this two-bedroom apartment cost? The Craigslist post says that the two-bedroom apartment at The Abbey costs $1,659 per month. Zumper says the median rent for a two-bedroom in the area is $1,239.
