Established Amarillo neighborhood south of Interstate 40
Like most Amarillo neighborhoods, Lawndale offers an elementary school with an attached park and shopping on the exterior main thoroughfares. However, its location south of Interstate 40 opens the entire city to the established community’s residents. Part of the A-minus-rated Amarillo Independent School District, the zoned elementary and high schools are within the boundaries, and some students are within walking distance. There are numerous nearby shops and restaurants, but its location, just 3 miles south of downtown, allows locals to explore Amarillo’s arts, sports and other community events. “Young families have started to move here because the rest of their families are nearby,” says Jennifer Rosenbach, a Realtor with Amarillo’s Parkview Realty, who has been active in the city’s market for 15 years. “Investors also buy rental properties here because of the affordable price points, nearby amenities and its location.”
American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum is just a short distance from Lawndale.
Lawndale residents are often able to enjoy beautiful sunsets with vibrant skies.

Ranch-style homes with attached garages
Ranch-style homes or the occasional bungalow are perched on compact lots and are shaded by the trees that line Lawndale’s residential streets. Addresses come with fenced-in backyards and have attached garages on the front or back of the property. Roads are connected by a sidewalk that makes the community accessible by foot. While some fixer-uppers can fall under $100,000, most homes sell between $105,000 and $260,000. “The market is hard to predict. If houses are priced well and updated, they will sell fast. Buyers have more inventory to look at, so being priced right is pertinent to selling quickly,” Rosenbach says.
Ranch-style homes are common in Lawndale, with trimmed lawns and spacious backyards.
