All year we have covered the stories that matter most to San Antonio, at no cost to you or the community. We need your support to fuel our work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Will you help us make our $95,000<\/strong> year-end goal to keep us going?<\/p>\n

Nearly every week in 2025, Where I Live contributors invited us into their homes and neighborhoods. They shared with us their memories, traditions and favorite local spots. And they told us their stories \u2014\u00a0 their challenges, triumphs and the routines of their everyday lives.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

From living downtown on the River Walk<\/a> and Museum Reach<\/a> to the bustling Medical Center<\/a>, to suburbs outside of town like Leon Springs<\/a>, Scenic Oaks<\/a> and Cinco Lakes<\/a>, contributors shared the people, places and moments that shape what it means to call San Antonio home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As we ring in the new year, we look back at the neighborhoods we got to know in 2025.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

We started the year off in The Reserve at Schertz<\/a>, where Sharon Denson wrote about the bonds that come from shared military backgrounds.<\/p>\n

To Denson, what makes her neighborhood unique is the emphasis on connection and community. She described community gatherings like holiday potlucks and driveway movie nights filled with laughter that create a \u201cwarm and welcoming atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n
