Northwest Amarillo neighborhood with two names
Located between Historic U.S. Route 66, known locally Amarillo Boulevard, and Interstate 40, Westlawn is a northwest Amarillo neighborhood with two names. While most people refer to it as Westlawn, others call it Sunset because Sunset Terrace is a road that runs through it. Regardless of what street a house is on, homeowners have easy access to shops, dining and downtown, all while being part of the highly rated Amarillo Independent School District. “You can get some really cute little houses in Westlawn,” says Sabre Cofer, a Realtor with EXP Realty with over 15 years of experience in the Amarillo market. “You’re on the northwest side of town, near the hospital. That whole West Amarillo Boulevard has grown up over the last few years with big-box stores and fast food restaurants. It’s really close to an area that is exploding.
