South Texas city anchored by the Alamo (1718 Spanish mission, site of the 1836 Texas Revolution battle) and the River Walk (the converted Paseo del Rio), seventh-largest US city by population. Downtown (the River Walk + Alamo Plaza), Southtown (the converted Mission Reach + arts district), and Pearl District (the converted Pearl Brewery food-and-coffee anchor) are the walkable cores. US has no DNV; visa-free ESTA up to 90 days. Texas has no state income tax. The structural draws are Spanish-colonial architectural density, Tex-Mex cultural depth, and meaningfully sub-Austin pricing.
