San Antonio MSA

Sandy Oaks leads the San Antonio MSA in rent burden—44.3% of renters spend over half their income on rent, according to ALEX Intelligence’s new 2026 data. This isn’t about low income—it’s about location, supply, and stability. In Sandy Oaks, affordability isn’t a matter of price; it’s a matter of access. The data shows that even moderately priced homes are out of reach for the median household, and renters stay not because they can afford it, but because they can’t leave. The market appears stable, but it’s under strain. This is the true cost of constrained supply in a growing metro.
