Suburban north Lubbock community
Located in Lubbock’s growing northwest quadrant, North by Northwest is a neighborhood centered around newer construction homes, ample recreation and opportunities for commuters to take advantage of the city’s growing regional economic footprint. “I would say for anybody that takes their kids to school north of Lubbock to a smaller town, they live here. The LISD (Lubbock Independent School District) taxes are so much cheaper. But you also get some medical people looking for something that's newer, but cheaper,” says Cole Whisenhunt, a Realtor with Keller Williams. “Obviously you can get something let's say $250,000 that's newer, and they hop on this right here and they're right by the hospital within six, seven minutes, maybe eight minutes, as opposed to, I'm going to go buy something that's built in 1930 and I'm going pay $50,000 More.” With two hospitals, Texas Tech University and close access to Loop 289, the neighborhood is in proximity to the core of Lubbock’s economic base.

A bit shorter at 6,777 yards, the course is surrounded by ponds and mature trees with crisp fairways and soft greens.

Visitors can also enjoy 4.5 miles of trails covered in wildflowers, popular with birders and hikers alike. In addition to annual excavations, the site hosts night hikes and fun runs to harness the area’s natural beauty. Right next door, the Berl Huffman Athletic Complex is the hub for the city’s athletic infrastructure with 350,000 feet of soccer and softball fields.
