Serving Northeast San Antonio & surrounding areas

# Northeast San Antonio Apartment Locator, Live Oak to Converse

San Antonio Apartment Locators serves the Northeast corridor along I-35 and Loop 1604 - the closest large apartment concentration to JBSA-Randolph, which shapes everything about it. Lease terms flex around PCS cycles, military clause questions come up constantly, and apartment inventory turns over on the summer orders calendar. Rentals here sit below the San Antonio metro average and carry some of the deepest move-in specials when vacancy peaks.

## The gap between the listing and the answer

A renter working from a listing site sees sticker price and no signal about whether their application will clear in Northeast. Both gaps close with the same work.

### The listing shows price, not policy

Zillow tells you a unit is available. It does not tell you the property wants 620 credit with a 7-year eviction lookback and will not take a guarantor. Two buildings on the same street, same rent, run different standards.

### Application fees are the real cost of guessing

They run $50-$75 each and are non-refundable. Apply at four properties that were never going to approve your file and you have spent $200-$300 to be told no four times.

### A $200 balance blocks like a $2,000 one

Property debt is the hardest single screening factor in San Antonio. A small balance is rarely ignorable; at a lot of properties it is a hard stop until it is cleared or a payment plan is documented.

### The advertised rent is not the monthly cost

Valet trash, pest, RUBS water and sewer, billing admin and tech or amenity packages add 7-15% over base rent, and CPS Energy swings hard in summer.

### Rent by unit type in Northeast San Antonio

Ranges across the communities we work with in this submarket. The July 2026 metro averages for comparison: studio $888, 1BR $1,095, 2BR $1,394, 3BR $1,826.

| Unit type | Typical range | What drives the spread |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Studio | $750 - $1,000 | Scarce; the corridor is built around 1BR and 2BR demand. |
| 1 Bedroom | $950 - $1,300 | Sits close to or below the July 2026 metro average of $1,095. |
| 2 Bedroom | $1,200 - $1,700 | The volume unit type here, and the one BAH most often targets. |
| 3 Bedroom | $1,600 - $2,200 | Common in newer 1604-adjacent product. |

Ranges across the communities we work with, confirmed July 2026. Metro baseline: RentCafe / Yardi Matrix, July 2026. Add the mandatory fee stack (7-15% over base rent) for your real monthly cost.

### Commutes from Northeast San Antonio

Off-peak drive-time estimates to the employment centers this submarket actually serves. Peak-hour times on Loop 410, Loop 1604, I-10, I-35 and US-281 run materially longer.

| Destination | Off-peak drive | Route |
| --- | --- | --- |
| JBSA-Randolph | 5-15 min | Pat Booker Rd / FM 78 |
| JBSA-Fort Sam Houston | 20-30 min | I-35 S |
| Downtown employment core | 25-35 min | I-35 S |

Off-peak estimates, confirmed July 2026. We check your specific address and shift on request.

Inventory age and class mix

## What the stock in Northeast is actually made of

A wide mix. Newer Class A along the Loop 1604 side, a deep bench of 1980s Class B and C along Pat Booker Road and FM 78, and steady infill in Selma and Converse. Judson ISD and North East ISD serve most of the corridor, and a building's district assignment shifts rent for comparable units within a few blocks. That 1980s layer matters: statewide, the largest single share of San Antonio's rental stock, about 18%, roughly 47,352 units, was built between 1980 and 1989, and this corridor holds a lot of it.

### Why building age matters to your application

About 18% of San Antonio's rental stock, roughly 47,352 units, was built between 1980 and 1989. That older Class B and C product is where an on-site manager still makes case-by-case decisions on a complicated file. Newer Class A generally runs a software rule with a hard floor. If your file carries a 

credit

,

 complication, the age profile of a submarket predicts your odds better than its reputation does.

Named communities

## How we handle specific communities in Northeast

Our licensed real estate agents track Northeast communities in the San Antonio Screening & Cost Index with credit minimum, eviction lookback and whether it is balance-dependent, property-debt policy, and the current concession with a confirmation date. Because this corridor turns over on the PCS calendar, we re-verify it more often than most and hand you the current set rather than a published list.

We publish aggregates rather than a public property list for one reason: a named list with a credit minimum attached goes stale within weeks, and a stale screening number is worse than no number. Every community entry we hand you carries the date it was last confirmed and who confirmed it. That is the standard our

 hold across every submarket in Bexar County, and it stays free to you.

How it works

## Four steps to a verified Northeast list

1.  1
    
    ### Tell us the complication
    
    Three screening questions, credit, rental history, background, plus budget and move date. Nothing is shared with a property until you say so.
    
2.  2
    
    ### We pre-qualify your file
    
    We check your file against current standards for communities in Northeast, and call the leasing office directly where the answer is not already recorded.
    
3.  3
    
    ### You get a verified list with the full math
    
    Properties that will review your file, each with base rent, the mandatory fee stack, current concession, net effective rent and a confirmation date.
    
4.  4
    
    ### We advocate through application and lease
    
    We flag your file to the leasing office ahead of the application, follow up during review, and handle a remote application and lease signing if you are moving from out of town.

How we are different

## Why Northeast renters choose us

### We publish the screening numbers

The rent range, commute times and class mix on this page are not behind a form. Check any other San Antonio locator site and see whether you can find the same thing for this submarket.

### We pre-qualify before you pay anything

Your file gets checked against a property's current standards before you submit a non-refundable application fee. If it will not clear, we say so and route you somewhere it will.

### We talk to leasing offices weekly

That is how we know which Northeast properties just dropped a credit minimum, which concessions never hit a listing site, and which on-site managers genuinely review a complicated file.

### Free to you, and we explain how

The community pays a referral fee out of the budget it would otherwise spend on listing-site advertising. No cash-back gimmick, no fee to you, no charge if you never lease.

In their words

## What renters searching Northeast say

We publish reviews only from this brand's own Google Business Profile, with written permission. The examples below are illustrative of the work and are labelled as such until verified reviews replace them.

> "They ran my file first and told me straight which properties would look at a broken lease with a balance still owed. No wasted application fees."

Renter (example)

> "I was PCSing to Fort Sam from out of state and leased sight-unseen off a video walkthrough. They matched the search to my BAH by rank."

> "They showed me the full monthly cost, valet trash, RUBS, the tech fee, not just the sticker rent. The 'cheaper' unit was actually more expensive."

Local answers

## Northeast San Antonio: your questions

How close is Live Oak to Randolph AFB?

Very close, 5 to 15 minutes to the JBSA-Randolph gates from most Live Oak and Universal City addresses via Pat Booker Road or FM 78. Gate choice and shift timing move that number more than distance does, so tell us your report time and we will factor it.

Will my BAH cover a two-bedroom in the Northeast corridor?

For many ranks, yes. Two-bedrooms here run roughly $1,200 to $1,700 (July 2026 rates) across the communities we work with. BAH has to cover the full monthly stack, not base rent alone. Valet trash, pest, RUBS and tech fees add 7-15%, so we budget against the all-in figure.

Do properties here handle military clauses well?

Most are used to them because of the Randolph concentration, but the wording varies by lease and management company. We ask for the military clause language before you apply, and JBSA Legal Assistance can review your specific lease. We give the general overview, not legal advice.

Can I rent in Northeast San Antonio with a broken lease?

The 1980s Class B and C stock along Pat Booker and FM 78 includes a meaningful share of communities that review rental history case-by-case, especially with a zero balance. A balance still owed is the harder variable - it typically needs to be cleared or a payment plan documented before approval.

How bad is the I-35 commute Downtown?

Off-peak it runs 25 to 35 minutes. Peak-hour I-35 southbound is materially worse and unpredictable, which is the main reason Northeast renters working Downtown often choose a different submarket. If your job is Downtown and your shift is standard hours, we will show you the alternative before you sign.

When is inventory tightest here?

May through August, alongside peak PCS and the school cycle. December through February is the loosest window in this corridor and carries the deepest concessions, often the difference between a June lease and a January lease is $2,000 to $3,000 over the term on the same unit.

Can you handle the whole search if I have not arrived yet?

Yes. Inbound PCS and relocation searches run entirely remotely: intake, shortlist, video walkthrough of the actual unit, remote application and lease signing. We tell you what a walkthrough captures and what it cannot.
