Home of the century-old Route 66 Historic District
From Route 66's heyday in the 1920s to the present, generations of Amarillo families have been drawn to the Route 66 and Sixth Street Historic District around San Jacinto. “My granddad was born on a kitchen table a block off of Sixth Street in San Jacinto. My family had a grocery store in the area back in the ‘40s and ‘50s, and he would tell us stories about what it was like back in the day,” says Brady Clark, executive director of Square Mile Community Development and a founding member of San Jacinto Neighborhood Advocates. “I spent years as a kid running around San Jacinto. It always was a neighborhood I knew and had a special place in my heart.” Between the 1920s and 1950s, San Jacinto thrived thanks to heavy traffic on Route 66. As tourism dwindled on the historic highway after the 1960s, interest in San Jacinto decreased, too. Today, community groups like San Jacinto Neighborhood Advocates (SJNA) are reinvesting in the community by promoting homeownership, improving neighborhood parks and adding art to everything from the local water tower to the crosswalks.
The longest-running shops on 6th Street
San Jacinto’s Sixth Street — known named Sixth Avenue — is lined with boutique shops operated out of original 1920s buildings. Stores range from cafes and pottery studios to antique shops and bookstores like Aunt Eek’s Books and Curiosities. “I wanted to open in San Jacinto because there is not really anywhere to buy books there. I didn’t want to just start a store, I wanted to start a community,” says Angela Workman, owner of Aunt Eek’s and a member of San Jacinto Neighborhood Advocates. “I love meeting people, and you meet so many interesting people on Sixth Street. I wouldn’t want to have a store anywhere else in Amarillo.” Cornerstone Church of Amarillo is also on Sixth Avenue, and the surrounding streets have other large houses of worship, including the Greater Love Temple on Eighth h Avenue and the Karen Buddhist Temple on 10th Avenue. The Route 66 Historic District is also filled with some of Amarillo’s longest-running restaurants. The Golden Light Café and Cantina has been in the same location on Sixth Avenue since 1946, making it the oldest restaurant in the city.. While the building is the same, tradition goes that each new owner of the café will bring their own personal chili recipe to the menu. Beef Burger Barrel on Plains Boulevard joins the list of Route 66 roadside attractions with its eye-catching storefront painted in red, white and blue and shaped like—what else—a wooden barrel. Beef Burger Barrel is also next to Zinmar Store, one of the only grocery stores in the neighborhood.

San Jacinto’s century-old bungalows and duplexes
San Jacinto largely has ranch homes, bungalows and multifamily properties from the 1920s and 1940s. Houses are built on small lots, and some streets are mixed-use with family homes and businesses side by side. Because only Sixth Street is a designated historic district, most residential properties away from the retail area are not subject to historic preservation guidelines or restrictions. A San Jacinto home ranges from $80,000 to $300,000. In 2023, more than 60% of San Jacinto residents were renters, prompting SJNA to start homeownership education programs to bring in more permanent residents.
There is a wide variety of home styles in San Jacinto.
Renovated homes can be found in the San Jacinto neighborhood.

Route 66 connects with Interstate 40
While visitors can find Route 66 signs all over Sixth Avenue, the iconic highway is a bit farther north. It runs parallel to I-40, 2 miles to the south, and eventually joins the interstate outside of Amarillo city limits. Both highways connect San Jacinto to the rest of the city, including downtown Amarillo, which is 3 miles away. The neighborhood is also served by Amarillo City Transit, and multiple routes arrive and depart from the downtown bus terminal on Sixth Avenue every day.
Highway I-40 provides easy commute access for San Jacinto residents.

Kids love gathering at San Jacinto Park.
Community groups clean up San Jacinto Park
San Jacinto Park is at the center of the neighborhood and has a major SJNA project. The group has cut down old trees, added new lighting, planned a new skate park and installed the area’s first-ever community center. San Jacinto is also within a mile of the tree-filled West Hills Park on Parkview Drive and Sam Houston Park on Line Avenue, which hosts an annual summertime concert series. Like most other Amarillo neighborhoods, San Jacinto is prone to high winds, dry heat, flooding and seasonal storms, which can impact time spent outside.

A grand finale for the Route 66 Festival
Each summer, classic cars, rodeos and a cattle parade fill Amarillo for 10 days as part of the annual Route 66 Festival. Traditionally, the festival concludes with a finale day in the Route 66 Historic District, complete with vendor booths, a pinup pageant, car shows and live music.
Crime
San Jacinto has an overall CAP Crime Score of 5, slightly higher than the national average score of 4 out of 10, and has some high individual scores, including a 6 for robbery and a 7 for assault. In 2023, SJNA reported that the community was one of Amarillo’s highest crime neighborhoods. Community groups have worked closely with Amarillo Police to promote safety initiatives for the neighborhood, including joining the federal “Project Safe Neighborhoods” program.
