The San Antonio Lifestyle

Enjoying San Antonio means walking into a tableau of cultures, from Native Americans, Colonial Spain, the Canary Islands, Old Mexico, Germany, and the Wild West, all deep in the heart of Texas. Of course, you remember the Alamo-Texas' No. 1 tourist attraction. But you will see history everywhere, in its architecture, neighborhoods, food, culture, and traditions. As the 7th largest city in the U.S., San Antonio offers rich heritage mixed with urban style. Residents enjoy more than 300 days of sunshine a year, with an average temperature of 70 degrees, so pack your summer clothes.

San Antonio is a walking city. Twenty-six million tourists visit each year and no one is ever bored. Stroll, shop and dine on the Paseo Del Rio, the River Walk, an exciting mix of shops and restaurants. Catch NBA action with The champion San Antonio Spurs. Wander around San Pedro Park, the second-oldest park in the United States. Visit Sea World San Antonio, the botanical gardens or the San Antonio Zoo. Take the grandchildren to Schlitterbahn Water Park and Six Flags/Fiesta Texas. Play golf on over 40 public and private courses. If you like places with exotic themes, visit the Aztec on the River, the only movie palace of its kind in Texas, or take tea in the Japanese Tea Gardens.

San Antonio calls itself "the most affordable city for visitors and tourists in America." That's one more sign that it's an ideal value for an active retirement. And that makes Air Force Village the ideal value for military officers who served with honor.
