Collins Garden Studios: San Antonio Extended Stays Near Lackland AFB
The Collins Garden Studios suit stays of two weeks to three months near downtown San Antonio and Lackland AFB. The complex, pricing, and what to expect.
By Megan Blount ·
Most vacation rental inventory in San Antonio is designed for short leisure trips: a weekend, a holiday week, maybe ten days. The Collins Garden Studios are a different product. Eight self-contained studio units in the Collins Garden Park neighborhood, built specifically for guests who need a proper furnished base for two weeks to three months without the commitment of an apartment lease.
The neighborhood
Collins Garden Park is a quiet, residential neighborhood on the west side of San Antonio, two miles from downtown and nine miles from Lackland AFB. Collins Garden Park itself sits directly across the street from the complex, with tennis courts, basketball courts, a covered pavilion, and green space for walking. The park is a meaningful amenity for guests on extended stays who need outdoor activity available without a car trip.
H-E-B grocery access, pharmacy, and a range of casual restaurants are all within a short drive. The neighborhood is quiet enough for focused work and close enough to downtown for evening access when guests want it.
What each studio includes
Every unit in the complex is self-contained and includes:
- A fully equipped kitchenette with an induction stove and oven
- A dedicated workspace
- Smart TV and loveseat for the living area
- Keyless entry with a personal door code
- Personal mini-split heating and air conditioning, so you control your own temperature
- Free Wi-Fi
- Complimentary toiletries, linens, and towels
- Free parking
The unit variants
Eight units are available across two floors, each with slight differences in orientation, floor level, and pet policy:
- Studio 1A and Studio 1B: first-floor access, facing the park, pet-friendly options available
- Studio 2A and Studio 2B: second-floor, park-facing, pet-friendly in select units
- Non-park-facing units on both floors for guests who prefer a quieter interior-facing orientation
First-floor units are practical for guests who prefer step-free access or who travel with dogs that need easy outdoor exit. Second-floor park-facing units have a different view and light quality that some guests prefer for extended stays.
Pricing for extended stays
Monthly rates represent a significant discount from the standard nightly rate. For guests on a fixed-term assignment of four to eight weeks, booking at the monthly rate from the start reduces the total cost substantially compared to running a nightly rate throughout.
Who books the Collins Garden Studios
The most common guest profiles: traveling nurses and healthcare workers rotating through San Antonio Medical Center assignments, military personnel on Lackland AFB TDY or PCS assignments, contractors working in the city for a project duration, and individuals relocating to San Antonio who need a furnished base while searching for permanent housing.
