San Antonio isn't any different than other city as far housing. You will find The same builders in Austin, Dallas, Houston etc. San Antonio is a older city so it will have many more older neighborhoods, but that doesn't mean they were built cheaply or lower quality. There are some neighborhoods that need to be rehabilitated.
As far as appreciation San Antonio has ranked high, at the top of many lists.

I would actually call some subdivisions built from 1990-present, "cheap" housing. San Antonio is an older city, and I think the quality of the older neighborhoods (although some need serious rehab) are better than any new homes built today. Cost of living ties in with price you pay for housing, which is cheaper here than in most parts of the country. That does have something to do with growth if the people thinking of moving here for a job have to factor in how much they have to pay for housing.
