Defining Urban Convenience challenges the narrative of a diversely parceled city as excellent as San Antonio, known as the biggest little city.
What is urban?
What is convenience?
ur·ban | \ ˈər-bən \

con·ve·nience | \ kən-ˈvēn-yən(t)s \
Definition of convenience
1: fitness or suitability for performing an action or fulfilling a requirement
2a: something (such as an appliance, device, or service) conducive to comfort or ease
3: A suitable or convenient time
4: Freedom from discomfort: EASE
Urban convenience as verbiage doesn’t limit living choices to uptown or downtown San Antonio locations; tons of semi-urban enclaves (a step aside suburban) exist throughout the city, meeting the definitions, but…
Urban as a word is a no-brainer.
Convenience is high-speed internet in a home office of a high-rise in a major city. It will have a view. Quick bites, good restaurants, or a corner grocery are steps from your complex door, barely a three-minute walk; your complex may have these as amenities.
Luxury condos and townhome city conveniences near San Antonio’s greenway trails and museums are choices for the young professional family or executive professional.

Urban Convenience in Uptown
North of downtown, The Broadway is the area’s newest luxury high-rise. Located on the corner of Broadway and Hildebrand within view of Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Our Lady of the Incarnate Word, Central Market, and The Pearl. Being a central location goes without saying.

A unique feature at The Broadway is the pool styled after the amenity at Four Seasons, Maui.
The luxury amenities include:

The Condominiums at 200 Patterson Avenue at the headwaters of the San Antonio River on 10 acres of gated woodland is a stylish, 80-unit high-rise built-in 1984. The interior finish of these condos is stunning, with square foot options from 2,000 to over 4,000 sq. ft.
