Rural north Amarillo neighborhood near the edge of the city limits
Pleasant Valley West is a north Amarillo neighborhood that is technically in the city but feels like a rural haven just about 5 miles north of downtown. Situated between U.S. Route 87 and the Texas State Loop 335, the neighborhood's residents can easily get around the city. But when they return home, they will find early-to-mid-20th century properties on larger lots with room for shops and sheds. “I think it's a stable area. People come and stay here,” says Debbie Duncan, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker First Equity, who’s sold homes in the area. “Everything you need is right there, like grocery stores and restaurants, and it has easy access to The Loop.”
Amarillo offers a mix of cultural experiences, outdoor adventures, and family-friendly streets.
The evening rolls in you can expect patrons of the Six Car Pub & Brewery to enjoy live music.

Early-to-mid 20th century homes on larger lots
Narrow neighborhood streets cut through the prairie land of north Amarillo. Ranch-style homes and bungalows built between the 1920s and 1950s are spaced out and adorn lots that can approach an acre. While it still abides by the city building codes, residents can build detached sheds or shops in their backyards. Prices here are lower than the national average and range between $34,000 and $164,000, largely based on the property's condition. “It’s rare to find houses on the market in Pleasant Valley West,” Duncan says. “If the property is in good shape, it will go quickly.”
As of recent years, the Amarillo real estate market has seen modest price increases in homes.
Home prices in Amarillo are relatively affordable compared to major Texas cities like Dallas.
