Urban hideaway near Texas Tech
On the heels of the hustle and bustle of Texas Tech University, North Overton is a neighborhood that has become home to student life for Red Raiders faithful. Sitting on land originally donated by M.C. Overton, Lubbock’s first physician, the neighborhood running along the Broadway Street corridor north to 4th Street is more urban than its southern neighbor South Overton, with a mix of housing styles and restaurants that reflects the growth and importance of the student population. “So in the early 2000s in this North Overton area, there were no apartments, college living duplexes, quads, nothing,” says Cole Whisenhunt, a Realtor with Keller Williams. “Then over the last 20 years now as you drive down there, North Overton is filled all the way down to Avenue Q with college living. So just in the last 20 years that area got developed like crazy.” Originally developed in the early 1900s North Overton still maintains some of Lubbock’s older historic homes and buildings and some newer homes have been built to recapture the energy and spirit of the area.
Eclectic condos and townhouses and grand two-story homes
Homes in North Overton are a mix of sizes and styles. The neighborhood has a large selection of multi-family housing options, including condos and townhouses that can be purchased to set down roots or as investment properties to rent out to Texas Tech students looking for their abode away from home. Condos typically have three bedrooms with many buildings within walking or biking distance from campus, and townhouses are constructed in traditional rowhouse style, with arched roofs. Buyers can expect these types of properties to run between $250,000 and $350,000. Historic homes are scattered throughout the neighborhood. For a different look, the neighborhood has a selection of larger single-family homes featuring modern takes on classic architectural styles with stunning exterior brickwork, and two-story designs atypical of West Texas, running between $200,000 and $500,000. More modest single-story homes are available, with many being used as investment properties, typically listing for between $150,000 and $300,000.
