Founded 300 years ago as a trading post and settlement of five Spanish missions, the city of San Antonio is the seventh largest city in the nation and is home to a diverse and stable economy that features a strong presence in industry sectors such as military/defense, financial services, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, logistics/ distribution, IT & cybersecurity, and biosciences. San Antonio is strategically located along Interstate 35, a major highway artery connecting Mexico and Canada throughout the central United States, serving as one of the primary transportation thoroughfares for North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”). Additionally, 48% of the nation’s $900 billion in NAFTA trade either originates or is destined for Texas, and a vast majority of this trade travels through the San Antonio-Austin I-35 Corridor. The San Antonio- Austin I-35 Corridor is also commonly referred to as the “the busiest inter-metro Interstate in Texas, and the Corridor is expected to increase its population by 1.4 million by 2030.” San Antonio is also located in the world renowned “Texaplex” or the “Texas Triangle,” the region formed by Dallas/Fort Worth to the north, Houston to the southeast, and San Antonio to the southwest. Although containing a quarter of the state’s landmass, the region is home to nearly 75% of Texas’ total population, with 52 Fortune 500 companies calling the area their home. With a pro-growth tax policy offering no state income tax, business friendly laws and regulations, and affordable housing, the Texaplex is becoming a primary destination for relocating companies drawn to the area’s friendly business climate. The Texaplex is forecasted to increase its population by more than 3.5 million people by 2030, making the region one of the most attractive regions in the nation for real estate investors. San Antonio has been home to a consistent military presence in its 300-year history, and is commonly referred to as Military City USA®. The San Antonio Metro is home to the Joint Base San Antonio (“JBSA”), a combination of Fort Sam Houston, Randolph Air Force Base, and Lackland Air Force Base, resulting in one of the nation’s largest active and retired military populations.

  • Your Kids Are Going to Love
    10 Places In San Antonio Your Kids Are Going to Love www.chicagotitlesa.com 1. Brackenridge Park This sprawling park has way more than just green space — it encompasses a stretch of the San Antonio River and includes the Japanese Tea Garden, the Sunken Garden Theater, the San Antonio Zoo as well as ball fields and pavilions. Older kids can run off some energy on nearby trails while parents eat a family picnic. Before you leave, don’t miss a ride on the San Antonio Zoo Eagle, a miniature train that loops around pretty much the entire park. From its starting point right across from the zoo, it makes stops at a few different Brackenridge attractions, including the Witte Museum. 2. The DoSeum Since opening in 2015, The DoSeum has quickly become the go-to children’s museum in San Anto- nio — it’s full of hands-on activities for kids of all ages, from toddlers to fifth graders — though adults will admittedly learn a thing or two as well. The museum’s displays run the gamut, from celebrating creative arts to tinkering with science and technology. Specific exhibits include the Big Outdoors, the Sensations Studio (where kids can experiment with light and sound), an innovation station, and the Spy Academy. 3. Six Flags Fiesta Texas Families looking for an adrenaline fix while still spending time together should hit up Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Not only does the park have some of the best roller coasters in Texas, including the Superman Krypton Virtual Reality Coaster, Iron Rattler, and Batman: The Ride (the world’s first 4D free-fly coaster, which just might be as terrifying as it sounds), but it has rides and attractions for the whole family, regardless of age, energy levels, and attention spans.
