Melonie Park South
Finely landscaped Ranch-style homes

Most homes were built in the 70s and 80s and many have undergone upgrades to keep with the times. “Melonie Park South is going to be a little bit newer and kind of goes into the 80s, but Melanie Park South actually has a pool and HOA and it's a really nice area as well,” says Justin Lowrey, a Realtor with The Whisenhunt Group at Keller Williams. Most homes in Melonie Park South sell for between $250,000 and $350,000.

Strolls along the waterfront with plentiful parkland
Bill and Ann Miller Park lies in the northern portion of the neighborhood where leisurely strolls on the 1.5 mile walking trail are accompanied by grassy open fields. In the summer residents can pull up a chair and enjoy movies in the park. Visitors can also stop by the pond to cast a line and go fishing. On the southwestern edge of Melonie Park South, Clifford H. Andrews Park is a prime viewing spot for sunsets over the water where a pond is a popular spot for fishing and viewing multiple species of birds. The park also has basketball and volleyball courts for added fun and excitement.

West Texas originals meets international cuisine in South Lubbock restaurant scene
Melonie Park South sits between the Loop and the 82nd Street commercial corridor where a number of shops and restaurants provide plentiful options for residents. People say everything is bigger in Texas: At Buns Over Texas it rings true with the local favorite specializing in large ‘build your own’ burgers with fresh ground beef on hand toasted buns. Hayashi Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar brings some of West Texas’ finest east Asian cuisine at 82nd and Quaker Avenue. For everyday needs, Sprouts Farmers Market sits just south of the neighborhood.
Loop 289 Corridor
Melonie Park South is about nine miles south of downtown Lubbock. Loop 289 encircles the city and serves as one of the main commuter highways to help motorists get downtown, where it connects with I-27. For those without a vehicle, Citibus provides service to downtown Lubbock, but expect a 45 minute commute.
