Diseño de la Ciudad
The city of San Angelo got its start at the confluence of the San Angelo and Del Oro rivers. Now a sprawling metropolis, the city has outgrown these early boundaries to cover an immense area. The actual city limits of San Angelo only enclose a portion of the metropolis–about half the residents of urban San Angelo live in unincorporated communities governed by the county. Like most other West Coast cities, the population density of San Angelo is low compared to East Coast cities. High-rises are really only found downtown, mostly in City Center, and mainly provide office space for businesses.
Even in the center of town, high-density residential buildings such as apartment houses with hundreds of tenants are fairly rare. Most people prefer to live in a house or small apartment complex.
Outside the city core, single-family homes are the norm. Suburban apartments, condos, offices and stores rarely rise higher than three or four stories. Retail businesses line most major streets, clustered in strip malls or shopping centers intermixed with office parks. As a result, urban San Angelo sprawls over a huge portion of the county. Cars or mass transit are a virtual necessity, particularly outside the downtown.
Las Calles
Streets in central San Angelo tend to follow a grid pattern. In the downtown, north-south streets are lettered, while east-west streets are numbered. Some downtown streets are one-way, and narrow alleys between buildings are common on many blocks. In outlying parts of the city, roads follow the typical suburban model of meandering neighborhood streets feeding into wide boulevards that serve as major traffic corridors. Many streets have Spanish names, while others are named after prominent San Angelinos.
The metropolis has expanded over the years to engulf several formerly outlying towns, such as Lakeview and Castle Heights. The old-fashioned grid-style downtowns reappear in the older parts of these communities.
