Established community near all the shopping in southwest Amarillo
Surrounded by major thoroughfares on all sides, Puckett West puts homebuyers near southwest Amarillo’s retail corridor and next to the city’s medical facilities. While Westgate Mall calls the community home, numerous other retail options are along South Soncy Street and Coulter Avenue. Primarily developed in the 1970s, the neighborhood is in the A-minus-rated school district and within 3 miles of the city’s largest park. “It is one of the few neighborhoods in Amarillo that doesn’t have a community park or school,” says Landon Moreland, the broker-owner with Moreland Real Estate Group, who has sold properties in Puckett West. “But it's not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t have to deal with the added traffic of the park or school traffic during the week. There is plenty of shopping with the mall right there, and you’re right next to the medical district.”

The windiest region in the county
Chicago calls itself the Windy City, but in reality, that motto should be applied to Amarillo. Ranked annually as the country's windiest city, Amarillo's average wind gusts top out at about 13 MPH. The Texas Panhandle experiences all types of weather, from extreme heat to below-freezing temperatures to severe weather, including thunderstorms, tornadoes and flooding. Closer to the mall, there is an increased risk of flooding, but the FFederal Emergency Management Agency encourages all Texas homeowners to purchase flood insurance due to the state’s history.
