Free Fort Sam Houston Area Apartment Locator in San Antonio

Across the communities we work with in this corridor, one-bedrooms run roughly $1,050 to $1,550 per month. The July 2026 metro one-bedroom average was $1,095; Class B garden product along Harry Wurzbach and Rittiman lands near that figure, while newer Class A product along Broadway and Austin Highway pushes to the top of the band. Furnished short-term units fall outside the standard range and are quoted based on lease term and furnishing level.

BAH is set by military housing area and paygrade; the San Antonio MHA code is TX285. The rate has to cover the full monthly stack, not base rent alone: valet trash, pest control, RUBS water and sewer billing, and tech or amenity fees add 7 to 15% over base rent at most Class A and Class B properties. Two-bedrooms in the $1,350 to $1,950 band cover the majority of E-5 through O-3 BAH rates at current levels, but verify current rates before committing because they are set annually and change without notice. CPS Energy seasonality adds real variability to the total monthly cost, particularly from May through September.

Yes, but it requires targeting the right inventory layer. The conventional Class A and Class B communities along Harry Wurzbach and Austin Highway operate standard 12-month minimum terms and are not the right fit for a 6-week or 90-day course rotation. A non-conventional layer of furnished apartments, small managed blocks, and single-family rentals exists in this corridor specifically because the METC course calendar has created sustained demand for short-term housing. These units lease off-platform and turn on the course calendar rather than the standard market cycle. Capturing your exact course dates and report date at intake is how we match you to what is actually available. Referral fees on this layer are often prorated to the actual lease term.

These are related but operate differently. Texas law provides servicemembers early lease termination rights under certain circumstances, with specific notice and documentation requirements; Texas Property Code Section 92.017 is the relevant statute, and the specifics of your situation should be confirmed with JBSA Legal Assistance rather than assumed from a summary. A military clause in a lease is a contractual provision that many properties near Fort Sam offer voluntarily; its terms vary by lease and by management company, and 'military friendly' in an advertisement does not specify what the clause actually says or how it differs from the statutory right. We confirm the language of a specific lease before recommending it for a military client rather than assuming the clause is present or that it covers the situation.

Class A properties along Broadway and Austin Highway run credit floors of 620 or higher with income multiples of 3x to 3.5x and software-screened applications. Class B garden communities along Harry Wurzbach Road and Rittiman Road are more varied: 580 to 620 is common, and some review files case-by-case at the margin. Conditional approval paths with an elevated deposit or a third-party guarantee (Insurent, The Guarantors, Rhino) open at Class B when occupancy pressure creates flexibility. Under 580, the Class C and non-conventional tiers are the relevant conversation. We pre-qualify your file against specific property standards before you spend a non-refundable application fee.

Late spring through summer, specifically May through July, when PCS orders land and METC course starts concentrate. A family arriving in June faces a materially tighter two-bedroom market than one arriving in January, both in terms of availability and concession depth. The December through February window typically carries the loosest inventory and deepest move-in specials in the corridor. If your orders include a specific report date, tell us early; PCS arrivals frequently need to tour within days of landing, and the short-term furnished layer in particular moves on a days-not-weeks timeline.

Yes. Inbound PCS searches run entirely remotely: intake over phone or digital form, shortlist delivery with full fee stack and confirmation dates, video walkthrough of the actual unit, and remote application and lease signing. We tell you what a walkthrough captures and what it cannot. BAH rate, rank, report date, and preferred gate proximity are the intake variables that determine whether the shortlist matches your situation. Register before you land; units in the furnished short-term layer and two-bedroom range during PCS season move in days rather than weeks.
