Apartments Near the San Antonio Medical Center
The Barcelona Lofts is a gated community of 1 and 2 bedroom loft apartments at 6201 Grissom Rd in Northwest San Antonio, a short drive from the South Texas Medical Center and UT Health San Antonio. Rent starts at $975 a month. Nurses, residents, medical students and hospital staff choose us for the quiet setting and easy highway access.
Every loft has an open floor plan with high ceilings, large windows, stainless steel appliances and stained concrete or laminate floors. You get loft-style space at a price that works on a resident’s salary.
Your commute to the Medical Center
The Medical Center sits along the IH-10 and Loop 410 corridor, and both are easy to reach from Grissom Road. Highway 90 is close too. If you’d rather not drive, there’s a bus stop within walking distance of the community.
Major hospitals and campuses in the Medical Center include:
- University Hospital
- Methodist Hospital
- Methodist Children’s Hospital
- Audie L. Murphy Memorial VA Hospital
- UT Health San Antonio (Floyd Curl Dr campus)
Shift work is easier when home is simple. The community is gated with access control, there is an on-site active-duty security officer, and cameras cover the common areas. Each apartment comes with assigned covered parking, so you aren’t hunting for a space after a night shift. The gym is open 24 hours, which helps when your day starts at 5 p.m.

Apartments near UT Health San Antonio
UT Health San Antonio’s main campus is in the heart of the Medical Center. It is home to schools of medicine, nursing, dentistry and the health professions, along with a large residency program. That means a lot of people with long days, early rounds and exams to study for.
Living at The Barcelona Lofts gives you a quiet place to come home to without being far from campus. The business center has a printer and scanner for paperwork and study notes, and the clubhouse has free Wi-Fi. If you’re sharing, our 2 bedroom, 2 bath loft gives each roommate a private bathroom, which matters when your schedules don’t line up.
