Moving from Dallas to San Antonio - where should we live?

Me and my fiance have lived in Dallas 4 years - we both grew up in dfw and are now late 20s. We are sick of the traffic, the stuck up plastic vibe, all there is to do is shop and eat. (We like to hike, camp, get outside) We are very outdoorsy people and were originally looking at Austin but are priced out. We landed on SA because we also have family in corpus which would make visiting so much easier. I’ve seen some mixed opinions on San Antonio but feel it’s the perfect place for us, we have visited and enjoy how slow paced it feels compared to Dallas. My question is, where should we live? We like to be near trails/parks so we can walk our dog. We want to be close enough to the city so that I have access to work (hospitality for me, so any luxury hotels/spas would be the goal.) fiance works from home so he’s flexible. We are hoping to buy our first house, and anything 200k or less is our goal which I have seen there are many all over the city, so I’m wondering if any locals can help us make a decision based on our specific needs? Thank you, with appreciation!
