Southwind City Locals
the world is yours
The Southwind City Locals program is designed for men and women of a wide variety of abilities. Should a potential City Local have the desire and necessary skill set to live semi-independently, within the community, we'll help make that happen. Our city locals come from all over the state and country, moving into our partnered, affordably priced, apartment complexes located on either the Northwest side of San Antonio, or beautiful New Braunfels, TX. Here, they maintain their own lease agreements, while enjoying the fellowship and community of living alongside other Southwind City Locals.
