Elmira Flats Review — The Good, Bad & Ugly

Elmira Flats offers clean, modern one-bedroom living in one of the most walkable pockets of San Antonio. This boutique community is the sister property to St. Mary’s Flats and is located just minutes from the Pearl District, the River Walk, and some of the city’s best restaurants and nightlife. It is ideal for renters who want modern interiors and an urban lifestyle without paying the premium of newer luxury mid-rise developments.

The Good

• Free covered garage parking for all residents
• $500 resident amenity credit at move-in with options like pool day passes, dog grooming, gym memberships, or a Visa gift card
• Modern one-bedroom layouts with clean finishes and efficient floor plans
• Prime location minutes from the Pearl District, River Walk, and major employers
• Quiet low-density community with only one-bedroom homes

The Bad

• No pool, fitness center, or large shared amenities found in larger mid-rise communities
• Onsite staffing is limited since leasing is handled through St. Mary’s Flats

The Ugly

• Only one-bedroom floor plans are available which may not work for roommates or families
• Guest parking can be limited during busy evenings and weekends

What I Love About Elmira Flats

What I love about Elmira Flats is how simple and intentional the living experience feels. You get modern finishes, free covered garage parking, and a prime location near the Pearl at a price point that is hard to beat. The $500 resident amenity credit is a standout perk that allows you to choose experiences like pool access at The Thompson Hotel, dog grooming, fitness memberships, or a Visa gift card. If you want something clean, quiet, and centrally located, Elmira Flats is an excellent option.
