Dallas vs San Antonio Texas - Which City is Better? Honest Comparison 

Dallas is great, albeit extremely crowded. The jobs are abundant and easy to come by. The city has rail, and looks cleaner overall. The drivers are horrid, but the freeways are abundant. The skyline shimmers, especially at night, and downtown is lively on weekends. SA is great for different reasons. The city looks a bit messier, but is dramatically more scenic. The hills are breathtaking. It's also close to Austin making the area look and feel like a tech hub of California. Its common to work in Austin making big bucks while living in SA. The jobs are also plentiful in town, but seem to pay less. If Dallas has the jobs, SA has the things to do after work. The shopping districts, SeaWorld, outdoor hiking, the food....it's amazing. Downtown shines at night and the attractions there make the city center lively everyday. The drivers are slower because the freeways are a lot less abundant so you couldn't speed if you wanted to. Both have urban, rural, and suburbs for anyone. Dallas has 4 seasons, SA has spring, summer, and 2 weeks of Fall. It's much hotter and susceptible to catching the remains of tropical storms from Houston. Hot, heavy, steamy rain isn't a surprise in August through November. Whichever you choose, you won't be disappointed. Dallas feels modern, hectic and calm at the same time. SA is its own vibe full of culture, skateboards, bikes, community, and laid back feels. Tourism is high so it speeds up the pace. Be prepared for traffic each city. Either is a great choice. (Lived in both) I think SA is actually meaner though.

I’ll cut to the chase since I know both these wonderful cities very well. If you’re single and ready to mingle, no matter what age you are, move to Dallas because not only are the club options way better, the people are waaaaaaay better looking. But if you’re already married and have kids, or looking to have kids, I would move to San Antonio because it is way calmer, less congested, they have everything you will ever need, and like this host just said, everybody is so laid-back that even the traffic jams are calm.

Even though I think Dallas has the best skyline in Texas I think there downtown is pretty bland and more business type vibe you have to leave Dallas downtown area to go to good spots compared to SA, SA downtown has more attractions and spots imo but the skyline is trash

Never been to Dallas, but I love it here in San Antonio.

Dallas anyday over San Antonio

Great video you nailed every single category except for the weather. Dallas has a very harsh winter compared to SA. I lived in both cities ... and in my humble opinion SAN ANTONIO by far is the BETTER city to live in.

Significantly less volatile climate in San Antonio vs Dallas area which is Tonado alley. I found San Antonio's climate more like that of central Mexico; the State of Jalisco, in particular -- just 2 seasons: Cold & Hot. 😊

Pretty good video! I disagree with the San Antonio drivers though. The speed limit may say 65 mph but if you drive that speed, you’re getting ran off the road. I’d say the avg speed in SA is 80-85 mph.

If it’s going by city proper, SA may have a bigger economy because it’s city limits stretches much further out than Dallas which is why San Antonio proper population is larger. Metro Dallas is the much larger Metro and those numbers are leaving out very large swaths of population. I’ll give you an example of what I’m saying. SA city population is around 1.4 million, but the metro population is around 2.5 million. Dallas city population is around 1.2 million while the metro population is over 7 million. This is how statistics can fool you!

I was just in Texas delivering freight in both those cities and man Texas has some of the worst road conditions I mean damm!!! But it's a good place to rise a family and plenty to do very diverse as well. Me coming from Georgia it's mostly white and black with few other ethnicities.

Hey there no Sea World in Dallas only in San Antonio. The amazing thing about San Antonio is there are no toll roads or Tornadoes just like Dallas.

This is great information. Thanks a million!! 🤝

Most of your comments about Dallas TX is wrong Dallas Home cost is $340.000, Plus the unemployment rate is 4% in Dallas TX IF I could work 4 full time jobs its crazy I get 11 job offers a week some time I would work 3 full time jobs at a time Presently working two full-time jobs

Yeah Living inAustin Texas my whole life, my thoughts on public transportation are, having the bus system is fine for if you’re desperate. But it is a terrible way to have to travel every day. Get yourself a car, even if it’s a junker.

I’m currently living in a suburb close to San Antonio area. I hate the roads. I hear about crime around me all the time. Trash in the streets. Is Dallas area any different?

Which city is better for a blue collar worker or a truck driver specifically?

Which city is least stressful for employees.

I would pick Dallas over San Antonio any day Dallas is a real city I live in San Antonio and it sucks. There is zero culture here. It’s North Mexico. I would much rather live in a city that actually has diversity.

Which city better for a civil engineer?

A bit biased if you ask me. 😂😂😂 Nah, San Antonio all the way.

Great video! I’m coming from LA Would the traffic in Dallas be worse than LA?

Dallas over San Antonio easily. More diversity, better food, bigger city feel, not afraid of growth, and more. San Antonio to me feels like they are stuck in time, very slow, though the river walk is cool and Seaworld are great attractions it offers nothing else beyond that. San Antonio to me is just a bigger Orlando.

When it comes to crimes in both it kinda goes like this would u rather deal w/ pity property crimes/stolen of personal materials or violent crimes murder robbery rape assault &&Human trafficking Cuz though San Antonio may have high property crimes wht he failed to mention was Dallas violent crimes overall is through the roof But dnt jus take my word for it Just take a l👀K at A&E Dallas has more episodes on the first 48 then any city in#TEXAS😎🤷🏿‍♂️💯

If anyone wants to know the real comparison between both cities, just read my post and do not worry too much about other posts. I will give you the cold truth. Compared to San Antonio, Dallas looks like a vibrant, developed place. San Antonio is a large city with quite a few people, but it is unbelievable quiet. It you dream of the most quiet, sleepy city of the USA, where the cost of living is low and the people are extremely nice, go to SA. The river walk is amazing, there are a few touristic spots in SA. Dallas is part of a huge metropolitan areas with some of the most beautiful, prosperous and amazing cities of the USA. Such as Plano, Frisco, Irving, McKinney, Arlington, Fort Worth, Addison, Richardson and I am not even mentioning the rich suburbs of Dallas etc. So do not let anyone fool you, there is no comparison. Even Austin and Fort Worth look more vibrant than SA.
