Avondale located just 2 miles from downtown, allows residents to enjoy a convenient lifestyle.
Established southwest Amarillo neighborhood near the medical district
About 2 miles from Amarillo’s medical district, Avondale is an older neighborhood established in the late 1930s. Located between Historic U.S. Route 66 and Interstate 40, it’s conveniently located about 5 miles from downtown. “It’s a great little neighborhood,” says Bobby Tyler, a Realtor with Keller Williams Amarillo, who has sold homes in the neighborhood. “It backs up to a city park, which has fun events throughout the summer. The homes are a little older but have some character, and the districted schools are good.”
Midcentury ranch homes on tight property lots
Properties built between the 1930s and 1950s adorn tight square property lots shaded by old-growth trees. Most of the homes are brick ranch-style that range from 1,200 to 1,800 square feet, with a handful of Cape Cods and cottages mixed in. Most homes sell between $115,000 and $300,000 with an occasional higher or lower outlier. Listings average 32 days on the market, faster than the national average of 43 days. “Homes that are priced right and are move-in ready are moving quickly. When homes need a little work or are priced too high, they sit on the market for a while,” Tyler says. Avondale is within a mile of multiple places of worship across diverse denominations, including Trinity Lutheran Church and Temple B’nai Israel.
Residents of Avondale enjoy a quiet neighborhood.

Amarillo Independent School District is a school district

The high school receives a B-plus and offers Advanced Placement Program, dual credit and International Baccalaureate courses.

About 2 miles from the Amarillo Medical District
Avondale is conveniently located to the Amarillo Medical District and is about 2 miles from the Northwest Texas Healthcare System, a nearly 500-bed teaching hospital and the Thomas E. Creek VA Medical Center. The VA hospital is the main facility that serves northern Texas and eastern New Mexico, with four outpatient facilities in Clovis, New Mexico and Childress, Dalhart and Lubbock, Texas.

Windiest city in the country
While Chicago is dubbed the windy city, Amarillo is ranked the windiest city in the country almost annually. Thanks to consistent low pressure in the atmosphere and mostly open space, the city’s average wind gust is around 13 MPH. Sometimes, that wind can bring the smell of cattle ranches from the surrounding area, but it does help keep the air free of pollutants. Amarillo temperatures in the summer can reach above 100 degrees, while they dip below freezing in the winter. Texas is susceptible to severe thunderstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes. While Avondale doesn’t have an increased flood risk, the Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends flood insurance for all homebuyers in the state.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
