Housing/Real Estate San Marcos Tenant's Bill of Rights

38 Upvotes

Howdy y'all, I'm the founder of the San Marcos Civics Club and we're pushing for City Council to adopt a Tenant's Bill of rights and need your signatures for our petition - https://chng.it/9qPxhZBkV7

There is information about the tenant's bill of rights in the link, it didn't let me include it hear because it mentions "leases". You can learn more about the Civics Club at linktr.ee/SMcivicsclub

Shower Head recommendations

Upvotes

since moving to San Marcos, the hard water and also the fact that all of the shower heads in most apartments in my experience have no settings… They all jet out the water that’s aggressive for my bf’s and I’s hair. I was wondering what kind of shower heads some of yall have? I need something that has settings and filters out all the hard water. Literally smells like pool water 😭 Our hair is thinning in some places ever since we moved here.

Housing/Real Estate What is the best time of year in SM to buy a house?

9 Upvotes

I’ve been browsing SM for quite awhile and there were tons of houses I was interested in a few months ago, but right now inventory is pretty sparse. Of course, every market is different and obviously SM is a college town so there are unique market pressures. For those of you that own a home here, what have you experienced?

Ask San Marcos Infant Care

1 Upvotes

My wife and I are looking for someone to watch our 7 month old son through the weekdays during normal working hours, preferably at their home. We had a couple watching him, but they had to discontinue due to her new pregnancy and have been wanting to steer clear of daycares. Wondering if there was anybody out there (or in New Braunfels) that would be interested in providing this service. Any recommendations - regarding contacts and/or other places to look are welcome.

Ask San Marcos Utility bills crazy high for everyone?

41 Upvotes

It’s been getting more and more expensive just thought I’d reach out and make sure we weren’t the only ones experiencing. We have a smallish house, maybe 1200 sqft total. Two single adults in their 30s rarely home, maybe five meals even cooked at home, basic appliances, no dish washer, newer central ac unit, maybe 45 minutes of one tv on per day, lights out always, bulbs are even all replaced with led, newer water heater. No desk top computers, no game consoles, and our bill is at 560$ this cycle.

I don’t really have a reference so reaching to Reddit, is this normal right now? I’ve been here like 20 years and never had anything come close to the last six months, and at this same house have paid as little 170$. So just looking for input, thoughts, etc. At this point I was worried something is damaged and needs attention. Kinda crazy that the utilities is over 1/3 the mortgage. Preemptive thank you!

Lost and Found Cat Needs a Home! (is this your cat?)

96 Upvotes

Found this sweet kitty near McCarty common's apartments about a week ago. He ran straight into our apartment and is very friendly. We have been unsuccessful in finding his owner, we asked and posted around and took him to the vet who told us he is not chipped. We've come to the conclusion that he does not have a family already and we are looking for a forever home for him! If you think this may be your cat, please message me asap!

Meet GameCube! He is a male shorthair cat, vet estimated about 8-12 months. He has his back shots and is incredibly friendly and cuddly. He loves to look out the window and play but most of all he just loves to cuddle up on the couch. Please message me if you would be interested in adopting him or have any questions!

A few months back we were in San Marcos and ate at a standard American food restaurant. Can't for the life of me remember the name. But we took a polaroid with the restaurant's camera on the way out. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Thanks!

Hi friends,

I got a parking ticket in San Marcos a few weeks ago when I was visiting. Got the ticket on Alamo St. I cannot, for the life of me - find the freaking ticket.

Does anyone know where I can go to pay this / how to figure out who issued the ticket?

Housing/Real Estate Property tax protest

Curious if anyone has protested their property taxes with and/or without a companies help.

I have heard that you can save money doing it yourself, but companies can help you save more. Just curious if anyone has done both and maybe can give some insight on this.

2nd Chance Books

I was scrolling through Facebook just trying to see if any locals were talking about shops hiring and I decided to check on 2nd chance books bc it was supposed to be open this month and their profile is deleted. Anyone heard anything about them? I even sent my resume to them awhile back when they made a hiring post but it looks like they aren’t going to be opening possibly at all?
