Rockwell Place is a census-designated place in Randall County, located between the cities of Amarillo and Canyon. With a population of a little less than 2,000, it provides homebuyers the opportunity to have a little more elbow room in terms of property space, has convenient access to Interstate 27 and is in the A-rated Canyon Independent School District. “People looking here want to live in the country,” says Chancy Via, the owner of Palo Duro Real Estate, who has sold homes in the area. “They want space between themselves and their neighbors and the opportunity to build a shop or barn on their property.”
Mobile homes on multiple-acre lots
The draw to this area is the chance at large property lots. Mobile homes are affixed to the land and can come on property lots that can be as many as 10 acres. “There are not many restrictions regarding what you can build on your property,” says William Wheeler, a Realtor with Fathom Realty, who has lived in Amarillo for 15 years. “Some people have livestock like horses, pigs and goats. It really is country living.” There is also the chance to purchase new construction Craftsman homes. Prices range from around $140,000 to $250,000. Homes have access to well water and sewage lines. Listings, on average, last 56 days, which is slower than the national average of 44 days.

Housed in the Old Lumber Yard Building, The Lumberyard, 5 miles south in Canyon, is a restaurant and bar that doubles as an event venue.

Held on Saturdays from June to September, the market features locally sourced produce and artisan vendors.

Interstate 27 makes up the western border of Rockwell Place and is how commuters can get 15 miles north to Amarillo or 5 miles south to Canyon.

Severe weather threats in the Texas Panhandle
Located in the high plains, Rockwell Place experiences all types of weather throughout the year, from freezing temperatures to days over 100 degrees. It is also susceptible to severe thunderstorms, tornadoes and flooding. While no properties in the area are at an increased risk for flooding, portions of the eastern and southern boundary have elevated risks. The Federal Emergency Management Agency encourages all Texas homeowners to purchase flood insurance due to the state’s history with natural disasters.
