Many today know that with the use of the internet, they can find an apartment that fits their needs. However, they could be missing out on many free extras that apartment locators offer. Just a few of these extras include

• Locators usually offer a rebate...Sometimes as much as $500
• Locators can find the best deal.
• Locators sometimes have access to unadvertised specials.
• Locators have access to advanced databases which quickly provide up to the minute specials.
• Locators can provide a 3rd party opinion of apartment complexes based on resident reviews.
• Locators can provide help with hooking up utilities.
• Some Locators will provide transportation to view apartment properties.

Here in San Antonio, Apartment Locators provide a completely FREE service & are paid out of the advertising budgets by the apartment complexes...Having no effect on lease rates or specials.

When you add it all up, only a small portion of an apartment locator's job is finding an apartment. It is more about doing the leg work & finding the best deal for the client. Plus, a nice cash rebate can't ever hurt!

If you drive on Bulverde Road north of 1604, you have probably noticed the beginning of a 4 phase construction process that will widen the road and improve driving conditions. Here is a synopsis of the phases:

Phase 1 - Widen the section from Evans Road north past the Stone Oak Parkway intersection to Marshall Road. It will have 2 lanes in each direction as well as a center lane. Along this stretch, you have several residential communities (including Fossil Creek & Cibolo Canyons), a newly built upscale apartment complex (The Mansions at TPC), and the entrances to Lady Bird Johnson Highschool (scheduled to open in August 2008) and the TPC Golf Courses & JW Marriott Hotel (Scheduled to Open in 2010).

Phase 2 - Widen a 1.5 mile section from Marshall Road north to Highway 281. Along this stretch you will find many residential communities (Including Bulverde Village, Indian Springs, & Belterra).

Phase 3 - Widen the 3.8 section from 1604 north to the intersection at Evans Road. This section will affect area businesses (such as Harcourt, Cool Beans Coffee & VJ's Pizza) as well residential communities (including Bulverde Gardens, Roseheart & Bulverde Creek) and Bulverde Creek Elementary Shcool.

Phase 4 - Expand the Bulverde / Evans intersection 500 feet in each direction on Bulverde Road. Evans, East of the intersection, will consist of 4 lanes and a center turning lane. Evans, West on the intersection as well as Bulverde North & South of the intersection, will be 4 lanes with a center median.

San Antonio's North East Independent School Distict's newest High School, Lady Bird Johnson, is scheduled to open for the first day of school this fall...despite construction delays caused by high rainfall in 2007. This will bring much needed relief for the very crowded Reagan High School, which has over 3000 students.

Some say that Johnson looks more like a University than a highschool! It is definitely Texas-Sized...

• 3000 Student Capacity
• 125 Classrooms
• 1000 Parking Spaces
• 750 Seat Cafateria
• 750 Seat Auditorium

The School colors will be Columbia Blue & Navy & the Mascot will be the "Johnson Jaguar". So far, the boundaries for attendance are North of 1604 & East of HWY 281. Several neighborhoods west of 281 will also attend.
