Quiet streets surrounded by quaint activity
Whether it's because of the local businesses, centerpiece park or overall quaint design of its streets and sidewalks, Caprock is a classic American neighborhood. Its energy concentrates on the fields and sports courts in its central green space, which is frequently brimming with the post-service activities of local parishioners and their families. Meanwhile, lines of hungry customers form outside of popular breakfast joints, Mexican cantinas and flea markets. Yet all the while, residential streets are quiet save for the occasional basketball bounce or lawnmower hum. "Leftwich Park is right in the middle, there's a Sun'n Fun that has a really good pool and there's a really good church next to that," says Realtor Josh Lashaway of Williams and Company Real Estate. "It's got a lot of things that are walking distance, plus it's really central. You're right by South Loop, which takes you just about anywhere in Lubbock."
Caprock is surrounded by essential amenities, including shopping and dinning just minutes away.
Caprock blends suburban charm with urban convenience, offering a quiet living experience.

Midcentury ranchers with yard space
The majority of housing options in Caprock are single-family ranchers from the mid 20th century, often built between 1950 and 1979. Most of these homes come sporting exemplary facets of midcentury architecture, such as low-pitched roofs, stacked stone exteriors and attached carports, and are priced between $150,000 and $350,000. Their yards tend to max out around a quarter-acre, leaving modest space in the front and back yards for rock gardens and beds of pecan trees. Behind most homes are long alleyways stretching across the whole neighborhood. These alleys are where city services such as trash pickup happen. In front of most homes, a narrow sidewalk often buffers houses from the street.

Waterslides and catfish wrangling at Leftwich Park
The heart of Caprock is Leftwich Park, a 50 acre patch of paved trails that snake around a central fishing lake. Leftwich Park is adjacent to several facilities that surround it and feed into its activities. Multiple churches for various Christian denominations surround the park, meaning Sundays can get busy as parishioners head there for picnics, playground meetups and catfish wrangling. During the week, the sounds of balls hitting string beds and pickleball paddles ring out from the Burgess-Rushing Tennis Center. Next door, the waterslides, splashpads and lap lanes at the YWCA's Sun 'n Fun Fitness & Recreation Center help keep locals cool on hot days.

Things to consider
Although there is a small 500-year floodplain around the lake at Leftwich Park, high water is not much of a concern for homeowners. Instead, the main factor to consider is usually in one's own backyard, where a service alleyway almost always can be found. "Technically, it's the city's property, but the homeowners are responsible to keep it mowed down. So, if you let it get above your knees then you get fined," Lashaway says.
