San Antonio is one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. and has added 17,237 new residents in the past year. Located about 90 miles from Austin, San Antonio has far lower housing costs. San Antonio is the ideal place to combine a scenic Texas Hill Country retirement with the amenities of a large city, including health care options, art museums and amusement parks. Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, which means retirees who work get to keep more of their earnings. The San Antonio Missions, including the Alamo, became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015.
