Located just outside of San Antonio, Selma has a history that takes it from a stagecoach stop to the city it is today. Ideally situated along the I-35/San Antonio corridor, Selma lets residents enjoy the big city without the crowds and traffic. “Selma continues to grow as a city, especially with its recent expansion of the I-35 opening up its accessibility to the surrounding areas,” says Kristen Galloway, a longtime resident of San Antonio. “A lot of new homes are also being built there, including townhouses and condos for people who want to own but not have so much space to maintain.”
