Any opinions on Fort Sam Houston, TX?

Are you kidding? Ft. Sam is practically downtown San Antonio, one of the most exciting and fun cities in the USA.\n\nAlso, it is really inexpensive there, compared to most other major cities.\n\nI hope you enjoy it there as much as I did.

It's great!\n\nThere are video games and large breasted women for you guys, and huge shopping malls and unicorn rides for us girls.\n\nGod is really nice.  You'll like him a lot.  He's a lot like Ward Cleaver, but more mellow.\n\nUnfortunately, all the good musicians go to hell, so the bands aren't that great, but there aren't any Republicans there either, so it balances out (turns out that bombing people isn't a family value after all).

My husband and I came from Ft. Riley, KS and that's not to far away from Salina or Topkeepa KS. Acutally, those last 2 place are closer to each other. My opionion is that it's pretty nice. It snows alot durning the winter and get's very cold. But basically most families around may be military families. You'll love it. Quite, peacefull. I wish i new more about housing. \nhttp://www.ci.salina.ks.us/\nHere is the city's website.

Went to Dallas a few years back.  It's a cool place.  Nightlife is good... plenty to do in the heart of the city.  There is a huge area with dance clubs and bars... and more women than you can shake a stick at. if you like the NFL go to Texas stadium the next day and take a tour.  They'll let you play on the field for a while.  Loved it out there. Enjoy.

Well i wasn't stationed in  D.C. but in Fort Bragg NC. on base is not so bad. but at the same time. it is hard. I liked having the people all around. going through the same that i was going through. The houses are OK i guess. but if you need a bigger one they really don't care. and its hard to get onto base. you mite have to wait for awhile... a few months. my friend had to wait for a year before they gave her a house. the bombs are loud at first but you get use to them. and the soldiers marching up and down your street ..... well you get use to that to. and many things seem to happen more..... the house in front of mine. the lady shot her husband right there in the street. the other house down the road the man shot his family ... wife and 5 kids. that was sad. and they aren't fast on getting you new stoves.....my friends blew up and caught her whole house on fire... they had to move her. its very weird but it was nice to have everything you need right there with you.... like the px. and commissary.... well if that's the way your going . you will make lots of friends. my neighborhood was like one big family ... everyone knew everyone. I do miss that part of it. we are out now... and where i live now no one comes out and talks.... sucks..   good luck\n\nO and we payed 850$ a mon. it went up last year to 950$ for a two bedroom . one bath.

It's nice....but I wish they would have given it a new name instead of tearing down the old one and giving the new one the same name (Second time they've done this, actually....this is technically "Busch Stadium V3.0")...\n\nPerhaps Anheuser Park or AB Field or something....whatever.  Area is still a lot of fun.  Go down to the landing and make sure to check out "The Big Bang", a dueling piano bar that has never failed to be a phenomenal time.

I lived in Houston for 3 years and it all depends on waht kind of scene you want.  If you want suburbia and upscale subdivision then Katy (the west side), Sugarland (southwest side), or The Woodlands (north side) aren't bad.  If you wnat more of an artisitic side and younger crowd then Rice Village and Westheimer are centrally located to a very chill scene.  I lived in the south of Houston in Clear Lake becuase it was laid back and right on the water with lots to do.

Houston traffice is a night mare.  If you moved to Katy you would have to travel the Katy Freeway and that's the worst one.  Tomball is a nice place, dont know much about Spring.  We live in Dayton, about 50 miles out.  Actualyy, we live in Tarkington, which is out in the country.  Very nice.

I like Houston, Texas. The cost of living compared to other cities is relatively low and we do not have state income tax here in Texas. The weather gets hot, but bearable and we have lovely mild winters.

I don't like living in the place that I am at on Fort Bragg (NC) This home..well it is a multiplex, and it was built around 60 years ago. But they are building much nicer homes that low ranking people are getting...while my husband and I have been in this hell hole for 2 years and now he is an E-5....and E-2s are getting nicer housing...:o(

I visted Texas, and I loved it.  People are so proud of their state.  You don't really find that pride in other states.  It's people are diverse, and the terrain is beautiful.  I wouldn't mind moving to Texas.

I am a Realtor in central Texas (Austin).  Canyon Lake and New Braunfels are about one half hour south of Austin.  They are about the same distance north of San Antonio.  Their claim to fame is water recreation.  There are lots of vacation homes, time shares, etc;  Germans originally settled the town and there are numerous eateries of this background.  It is a scenic, lovely hill country setting.  The lake is very established and nicely maintained by the Corp of Engineers.  The town has about 45,000 inhabitants and is poised for growth, as it is sandwiched in between San Marcos ans San Antonio who are both experiencing explosive growth.\n   Real Estate prices are very affordable, but probably not for much longer.  The entire Interstate 35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio is filling up quickly.  There are several lakes and rivers in the immediate area, and second homes in the region are being built, bought and sold at an unprecedentd rate.\n   If I can be of further assistance you can email me at stevesteed@yahoo.com.  Good luck in your search.
