North Heights Home for Rent

North Heights in Amarillo features wide, slightly rolling streets, a rarity in the city. The neighborhood offers a mix of small bungalows and larger ranch-style houses built between the 1920s and 1950s, with new construction bungalows available on the east end. Bones Hooks Park, named after a key African American figure in Amarillo, serves as a community hub with a playground and basketball court. The Charles Warford Activity Center and Hines Memorial Park provide additional recreational spaces, including an indoor pool and baseball field. The neighborhood recently introduced six new crosswalks as part of the Creative Crosswalk Project, enhancing pedestrian safety. U.S. Route 66 borders the southern edge, providing access to shopping destinations like Dollar General, United Supermarkets, and Walmart Supercenter. Delvin’s Restaurant and Catering on North Hughes Street offers daily specials and breakfast monthly. Annual events like the Juneteenth celebration at Bones Hooks Park and activities at the Amarillo Black Cultural Historical Center highlight the community's rich history. North Heights is part of the Amarillo Independent School District, which is highly rated and offers school choice. Students attend G.W. Carver Elementary School or Park Hills Elementary School, both well-regarded, before progressing to Travis Sixth Grade Campus, Mann Middle School, and Palo Duro High School. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, with easy access to major roadways, including U.S. Route 66 and U.S. Route 287, making the 4-mile commute to downtown straightforward. Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport is 13 miles east, and ACTransit bus service provides additional transportation options.
