Ranch homes on multiple acres of land
Narrow neighborhood streets cut through the slightly elevated prairie of the Texas Panhandle. Ranch-style homes with hipped roofs and split-level properties are situated on multiple unrestricted acres of land, but there is still proximity to nearby houses. With the lack of restrictions, residents can build shops, detached garages or even raise select livestock. “You get a rural lifestyle, but not that far of a drive away from the amenities of the city,” says Douglas Campbell, a Realtor with French and Company Realtors, who has more than 20 years of experience in the Amarillo market. Prices range from $150,000 to $420,000 based on the acreage and condition of the property.
Prices can range from under $100,000 for smaller or older homes to over $500,000.

Severe weather across Amarillo
Living in this part of Amarillo does come with some inherent weather risks. The city experiences temperatures over 100 degrees in the summer and below freezing in winter. It’s also susceptible to severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, flooding and wildfires. The northeastern portion of Chaparral Hills does have an increased flood risk, and FEMA encourages all Texas homeowners to purchase flood insurance because of the state’s history. “One of the nice things about the neighborhood is people come together whenever needed,” Neal says.
