Finding stability in south Amarillo

Bordered by the rolling green space of Southeast Park and Comanche Trail Golf Course, one of the city's most popular courses, Tradewinds is an expansive suburb of south Amarillo. Having developed at the start of the 21st century, Tradewinds has a contemporary feel and draws in homebuyers who want both convenience and to be a bit farther from the heart of the city. It's located 5 miles from downtown Amarillo, on the rural prairie land fringes, and is close to large commercial areas for everyday necessities. It's zoned to the desirable Amarillo Independent School District for those who need to consider education and has a top-rated elementary school right in the neighborhood.

Contemporary brick homes in Tradewinds

The wide residential streets and sidewalks line past small but neat front yards, shrubbery and decorations adorning front doors and short porches. With most homes built between 2004 and 2008, Tradewinds is almost entirely residential, save for a small pocket commercial area in the northern portion of the suburb. Contemporary ranch homes and new traditional properties sport brick faces, gabled roofs and large windows. "There's a great school right in the neighborhood, which draws in a ton of people. And for them being relatively new homes, the prices are low, says Becky Williams, Realtor with Fathom Realty, who's been selling homes in the area for over a decade. "It is right by the Tradewind Airport, though, so it can be noisy at times." Due to the planned nature of the suburb and the similarity of both the construction era and square footage, price tags don't fluctuate much in Tradewinds. The majority of properties sell between $210,000 and $260,000.

Navigating the city via I-27

Tradewinds is less than a mile from ramps to Interstate 27, which leads to the Interstate 40 loop, so there is immediate access to major thoroughfares. Amarillo City Transit does not run bus lines to the neighborhood, so most residents are car-dependent. The Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport is 9 miles east, and the Northwest Texas Hospital is 9 miles northwest for medical needs or emergencies.

Exploring Southeast Park and tee time

On the neighborhood's west side is Tradewind Elementary School Park, which provides a quick in-community green space to take the kids to the playground or stroll along the paved walking trails. Meanwhile, Southeast Park has hundreds of acres for diverse outdoor recreation, including two dog parks, a lake for fishing, a shooting range and two multi-use fields. When Amarillo heat peaks, Anytime Fitness can be found off Osage Street for those who want to exercise indoors.

Southeast Park offers a picturesque fishing spot in its lakes.

Running errands off 34th Avenue

To the neighborhood's north is a small commercial area where residents can run daily errands. Off 34th Avenue, which borders Tradewinds as a main thoroughfare, are stops such as Walmart Neighborhood Market, Dollar General and Walgreens. Just around a mile away, Grand Street leads to big-box stores such as Ross and Walmart Supercenter, and the larger commercial area also has several fast-casual restaurants with locally owned eateries peppered in. Los Braceros is a well-known local favorite for Mexican cuisine and imported beer, while Coyote Bluff Café, which has been operating for 30 years, serves classic Americana eats in an unassuming stucco building.

Coyote Bluff Cafe is a popular restaurant for its steaks, burgers, and other tasty menu items.

Weather in Amarillo

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 the smell of the cattle ranches around 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.
