Tobin Hills, San Antonio, TX
I'm currently under contract for an investment property multi unit in Tobin Hills. I'm new to the area and wanted to know any information about the area. The cons and pros of the area and future potential. The investment property is 1BD's and 2BD's. Again any information about the macro economics and potential of the area will be greatly appreciated.
Lastly if any dangers, from ADT Crime map I found San Antonio to be a bit more safer than Dallas and Houston.

Tobin Hill is a great area. It's actually where my office is located. I have lived in and owned property in Tobin Hill over the last 9.5 years. I currently live in an adjacent neighborhood.
Pros for the area: Location & proximity to Downtown, the Pearl, Brackenridge Park, the Museum Reach, 7 mins to the airport, and walkable to San Antonio Community College. There are also plenty of great bars, restaurants, and shops in the area. There is a good sense of community and a strong neighborhood association. The area will continue to appreciate.
Cons for the area: Property taxes keep going up. If your property is too close to N. St, Mary's strip you will likely have parking issues, noise issues, and late night meanderers. Recently there have been some issues with drunk driving (primarily on The Strip). There has been a slight uptick in the homeless population since the pandemic started, but they are usually pretty harmless. Reading on Nextdoor app, it seems that most complaints are about the noise and property crime.
Hope this helps. DM if you have specific questions.
