Lower priced homes close to several parks

Sitting along Interstate 27, Harwell offers comparatively lower priced homes with convenient access to several parks. Lubbock, which was incorporated in 1909, embraced the country life and has relied mostly on its agricultural industry throughout its history. In the late 1900s, the booming tech industry saw hundreds of manufacturers move to central Texas, with several of these facilities still in operation in the city. The city is also an art hub with museums like the Buddy Holly Center, which celebrates the Lubbock native and showcases the area's role in rock history.

Traditional home styles starting in the $75,000s

Homebuyers can find ranch-style homes sitting on gridded streets. “Most homes in Lubbock were built between the 50s and the early 70s,” says Wendy Jones, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area since 2006. Houses here don’t have garages, but some driveways have covered car ports. Homes sell quickly, usually staying on the market for less than two weeks, and typically go for $75,000 to $150,000.
