San Antonio's 78248 ZIP code, located on the city's North Side, has been ranked as the fourth most affordable ZIP code in the United States.
Choosing the right apartment can make or break your San Antonio experience. Local crime levels, amenities and neighborly friendliness all inform an apartment hunt, but perhaps the biggest consideration remains the price. Luckily, San Antonio is home to the fourth-most affordable ZIP code in the United States, according to a cost-of-living report from financial services company CashNetUSA. The online lender compared the median household income and average rent in each ZIP code for U.S.
cities with a population greater than 100,000 to determine the most affordable locales. The results singled out the North Side, whose residents enjoy the lowest rent-to-income ratios in the city. San Antonio’s 78248 ZIP code, nestled between Shavano Park and Hollywood Park, emerged as the most affordable ZIP code in Texas, and the fourth-most in the nation. Annual rent amounted to about 12.3% of the local median household income. This ZIP code is also one of the wealthier areas in the city. The median household income for the roughly 13,800 people who live in the area north of Loop 410 comes out to about $130,600, according to the Census Bureau figures. Experts recommend renters spend no more than 30% of their monthly income on rent and utilities. Yet over 50% of San Antonio-New Braunfels metropolitan area tenants exceeded that threshold in 2022, according to a report by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies. The four other most affordable ZIP codes are all concentrated on the North Side, commonly regarded as the most wealthy part of the city. The second most affordable ZIP code went to 78261 in far north central San Antonio, off Highway 28
