North Amarillo neighborhood near plenty of entertainment
Located about 3 miles north of downtown Amarillo, Hamlet is an established neighborhood with an enviable location next to Thompson Park, boasting the city's zoo, an amusement park and other amenities. "Thompson Park is the largest park in the city, and they just renovated the swimming pool," says William Wheeler, a 15-year Amarillo resident and Realtor with Fathom Realty. Hamlet has other conveniences, like a grocery store, as well as a neighborhood school. Hamlet Elementary is more than just a school, it hosts many local events "and is a big part of the community," says Wheeler. The modest houses that line the walkable neighborhood are reasonably priced for the city and have drawn the eyes of investors who flip or rent out properties.
In addition to the playground, Thompson Memorial Park boasts open grassy picnic areas.
Thompson Memorial Park is a popular outdoor destination known for its recreational amenities.

Ranch homes with large basements
Neighborhood streets are lined with sidewalks that allow residents to walk throughout the neighborhood and to nearby attractions. Compact ranch-style homes with hipped roofs are perched upon tight lots. Almost all have a driveway, and some feature small garages and fenced-in backyards. “This area is known for its basements, which are basically the same size as the property," Wheeler says. "There are some cool basement homes that take advantage of the extra square footage.” Most homes sell between $60,000 and $250,000. With these reasonable price points, investors have started to flip houses or purchase homes for rental properties. “Homes here usually take between 60 to 80 days to sell, which is right on average for the city," Wheeler says, noting that move-in-ready homes always sell more quickly. Those looking to rent can take advantage of a few apartment complexes including Cypress Creek at Jason Avenue.
You can find a variety of architectural styles, including ranch-style homes in Hamlet.
Hamlet is primarily a residential neighborhood with a mix of single-family homes.

Next to Thompson Park, the largest in the city
Attached to the elementary school, Hamlet School Park is a tree-lined park between Redwood Street and Oak Drive. The park’s field provides space for soccer and flag football games, while it shares its playground and hard-surfaced basketball courts with the elementary school. Across Dumas Drive is Thompson Memorial Park, and at 610 acres it's the largest park in the city. The green space is home to a recently renovated community pool, multiple walking trails surrounding numerous lakes and a disc golf course. Its lakes are stocked with fish, and it’s common to see anglers casting their lines from the shore. Ross Rogers Golf Complex is also in the park and was initially constructed as a project by the Work Progress Administration during the Great Depression. It now has two public 18-hole courses. Thompson Park is also home to two major attractions: the Amarillo Zoo and Wonderland Amusement Park. The zoo has 120 animals and 70 species and is reasonably priced for visitors based on age. Wonderland Amusement Park is open from April to Labor Day and offers more than 30 attractions, carnival food and games.
