Universal City Overview
Proudly known as the 'Gateway to Randolph Airforce Base', Universal City is a growing Texas locale that is ideal for families and those employed in military service. Just a hop and a jump from San Antonio proper, this idyllic city offers just about everything a blue collar homestead could wish for.
What is the history of Universal City?
Coming into its own in 1960, Universal City was largely created to help house the servicemen and women of the neighboring airforce base. Today, Universal City also acts as a bedroom community for many working professionals eager to connect with the San Antonio job market.
How is the weather in Universal City?
Like much of Texas, Universal City is dominated by hot summers that can stretch well into the fall months. Fortunately, this also yields a mild and comfortable winter, with snow rare indeed. Spring beings with it the rains, often helping to boost the wildflower season of April that Texas is known the world over for.
How do I get around town?
Given its relatively small size, a majority of those residing in Universal City apartments rely upon a car or truck to get around. Ride sharing businesses have become popular in the area as well, and taxi service is always just a phone call away. San Antonio has much to offer in the way of larger public transport, including an international airport and multiple bus offerings.
What is the Universal City commute like?
Pat Booker Road acts as the primary thoroughfare through the city center, connecting Universal City to Randolph Airforce Base and beyond. Those commuting to the San Antonio job market can expect some delays on Interstate 35 to be commonplace, and the fifteen mile or so daily commute can often take upwards of an hour during peak morning and late afternoon hours.
What are the local media outlets?
The 'Northeast Herald' acts as the primary print media outlet in the city, with several online sources catering to regional stories and events as well. Most of the radio programming, which runs the gamut from sports talk to gospel, modern rock to urban, is reached via affiliates in nearby San Antonio. Likewise, broadcast affiliates such as CNN and FOX are found with ease thanks to the nearby city.
Why live in Universal City, TX?
While the city actively caters to the brave men and women serving in the armed forces, many desiring a true Texas experience will find much to celebrate with an apartment in Universal City. Offering easy access to schools such as Northeast Lakeview Community College, as well as a low crime rate and plenty of scenic public park areas, Universal City might just be the family-friendly locale you've been dreaming of.
What Universal City landmarks should I see?
The Randolph Airforce Base is a hotbed of scenic landmarks, including the truly impressive architecture of the Base Chapel. The unforgettable Alamo is only a quick car ride away, as is the famed San Antonio Riverwalk. The Universal City Public Library is an impressive testament to literature as well.
What is there to do around Universal City?
Nearby Live Oak Park is a fantastic place to play some frisbee or get some fishing in, and your four-legged friend will love a visit to the Universal City Dog Park. Bad Wolf Ghost Tours is a spooktacular way to spend a Saturday night, and Four Kings is simply THE place for sandwiches in the Universal City limits.
Any annual festivals or Universal City events to know?
As one might expect, Independence Day is quite the event around Universal City. Live music and parades dominate the holiday, with several craft and food fairs held in the vicinity every spring and fall as well. 6 Flags Fiesta Texas hosts an incredible Halloween festival the month of October, and SnoFest dominates the winter months in Universal City, even if the title object is found in short supply.
Where are the nearby vacation spots?
Marfa is a wondrous Texas destination, located a few hours drive to the west, and the southern shores of the gulf coast is always in fashion for those seeking fun in the sun. Austin is just 80 or so minutes north on I-35, complete with numerous live music venues and its oh-so-famous BBQ offerings, while the college town of San Marcos is flush with art galleries and even glass bottom boat tours, all less than an hour from Universal City proper.
Where is the best place to move in Universal City?
A number of Universal City rental neighborhoods are just waiting to make your acquaintance, from the lofty Gold Talon to the family-centric Olympia Hills to the aptly-named scenic Forrest Trail. Regardless of where you end up, rest easy in the fact that you are enjoying some of Texas living at its finest!
