Gogo's take on Stonefield
“Go. Stonefield is a quiet, well-maintained suburban community on the far North Side of San Antonio that offers a very safe and secure environment for visitors. Violent crime is rare, and the neighborhood primarily consists of established residential subdivisions, shopping centers, and family-oriented amenities. Standard precautions against minor vehicle burglaries in commercial parking lots are all that is typically required.”
