Residents commute by car via nearby connecting interstates
Ridgecrest is less than a mile from ramps to Interstate 27 and the Interstate 40 loop, so there is immediate access to major thoroughfares. Amarillo City Transit does not run bus lines out to Ridgecrest, so most residents are car-dependent. The Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport is 14 miles east, and the Northwest Texas Hospital is just 3 miles north for medical needs or emergencies.
Two local parks have playgrounds, walking trails and a public pool
Connected to Ridgecrest Elementary is Ridgecrest School Park, which gives locals an in-community green space to take the kids to the park or meet up with friends for a game of tennis. Just south off of Bell Street, John Stiff Memorial Park takes up 355 acres and offers a diverse selection of outdoor recreation. From the walking loop around McDonald Lake to the sand volleyball courts and connecting dog park, it’s one of the most distinct parks around Ridgecrest. John Stiff Memorial Park is also the site of the Southwest Amarillo Pool and Amarillo National Tennis Center.

Local landscape contributes to extreme weather and occasional smells
Amarillo's surrounding flat, prairie landscape and low atmospheric pressure combine to make it one of the windiest cities in the country. Those living in Amarillo may sometimes catch a smell of the cattle ranches that surround the city, but the constant wind flow also makes the city air some of the cleanest in the country. Amarillo is also known for its extreme temperatures, with summer days clocking in at 100 degrees while winter freezes are common.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
