It is a true live/work/play area, with the zoo, two universities, two museums, Central Market, a 20-story condo u/c, and SA's premier urban park.

Actually anything inside Loop 410 is urban.....almost everything inside of loop 410 is older than 40 years....
But actually StoneOak (The So) is now urban...it is totally self contained...two Hospitals....3 HEBs...with one being a HEB Plus...Lowes..Home Depot...Walmart...Cosco...2 Super Targets...many doctors offices...and resturants...luxury apartment complexes...houses...hotels...clubs...bars.....movie theatres....and now highrise office spaces (Tesoro)
In other words it is a uptown urban center...sure there is no univeristy...but UTSA is only 7 miles away...
The Trinity/Brackenridge/UIW area can only dream of what The SO is today..
All The SO needs is a art district and its done.
Actually people are moving as far north as Highway 46 off of 281...now that is suburban....
