Older homes, many formats

This is a search full of character homes. The typical rental dates to the late 1940s, and most were built between the late 1930s and the early 1960s. Apartments lead with about 11 listings, followed by about five duplex units, five single-family houses, two triplex units and a quadplex unit. The median rental is about 1,180 square feet.

Older homes can mean window units instead of central air, fewer outlets, small closets and higher summer utility bills. Ask what is included, how cooling works and how the owner handles repairs.

Picking a neighborhood

Monte Vista has the most listings, then Olmos Park Terrace, with a couple each in Kenwood and Alta Vista and single rentals in Olmos Place and the Olmos and San Pedro Place area. Nearly all are in ZIP 78212. San Antonio ISD serves about 21 of the 25, and about three are in Alamo Heights ISD, so a family set on that district needs to act quickly when one appears. JBSA-Fort Sam Houston is about three miles from Olmos Park.

Pace and approval

Rentals stay listed about 45 days at the median, about 8% are new this week, and the same share have lowered their price. Individual owners of duplexes and older houses may screen more personally than large managers: expect questions about income, past rentals and pets, and be ready to meet the owner. The Rothrock Realty Team can set up showings across these neighborhoods and help you present a complete application.
