San Antonio emerging markets
Good Morning all,
So I've been looking into the San Antonio area, trying to narrow down which areas are on the rise. The method I've been using is looking for new construction, specifically of grocery stores (Follow the Walmarts haha) or housing developments. I was wondering if any more experienced locals have any opinions or suggestions about these area:
Kenedy
La Vernia
Floresville
The other locations I am looking at surround both Lackland and Randolph AFB, though I have not extensively researched them yet. Please let me know what methods you use to analyze areas! Stay blessed ya'll

What kind of properties are you looking for? I love Floresville and we've helped clients buy in La Vernia, but those are pretty rural. You have a much different tenant out there.
I love the idea of following the experts, but I would follow HEB and Starbucks in San Antonio area, I don't think Wal Mart is as good an indicator.
