Parkway-Cherry Point was traditionally known as a working-class neighborhood in northeast Lubbock with modest homes. As the city grew, new challenges presented a new trajectory. "This neighborhood is one of the few within the Loop that is actually growing at a moderate pace," says Wilson Bowling, Neighborhood Planner for the City of Lubbock. With a lot of open land and opportunities, developers began to notice. The neighborhood has a selection of affordable homes with more in the works. The area is backed by two major thoroughfares and Mackenzie Park, the city's flagship park. Just outside the neighborhood in east Lubbock Leprino Foods is constructing a $1 billion cheese plant, which will be a game changer for the economy of Parkway-Cherry Point and for Lubbock as a whole, adding jobs and new tax revenue. "It's ripe for opportunity if opportunity would take a look and give it a shot," Bowling says.

Endless green space and prairie dog companions
On the neighborhood's west side, Mackenzie Park is one of the city's most extensive parks. Formerly a state park, it sits on more than 200 acres where visitors can enjoy the day on horseback with equestrian trails, a disc golf course and a dog park. Also on Mackenzie Park grounds, the 36-hole Meadowbrook Canyon Creek Golf Club will soon be taken over by the city, where plans are in place for a revamp. "Truly one of the best places in Lubbock is right on the periphery of this neighborhood," Bowling says. At Prairie Dog Town, visitors can get close to some of Lubbock's animal neighbors. Created in 1935, the burrows served as a sanctuary for the black-tailed prairie dog under threat from a government extermination program.
Prairie Dog Town offers visitors a chance to watch prairie dogs up close.

Limited shopping options in Parkway-Cherry Point
One of the biggest challenges for Parkway-Cherry Point is the need for more shopping. While the neighborhood has a United Supermarkets for daily items and a couple of smaller plazas, residents may have to go outside the neighborhood to find more restaurants and other shopping needs. Polibertos Taco Shop has a rich menu of Mexican favorites, from breakfast burritos to chimichangas. The TJ Patterson Branch Library sits right in the neighborhood, named after the city's first black city council member. The FiberMax Center for Discovery museum tells the history of agriculture and Lubbock's agricultural heritage. The museum has a children's section and several interactive exhibits.

One-story Bungalows and affordable housing opportunities
Homes in Parkway-Cherry Point are primarily single-story bungalows, built in the last ten years. Some homes are also used as rental properties, and others are available for first-time buyers through affordable housing programs. Kings Dominion, a subdivision created by Lubbock's community development corporation, provides affordable housing opportunities with income guidelines for qualified buyers. Habitat for Humanity is also building a community with an estimated 100 homes and another affordable housing community planned for north of Estacado High School. With so much open land and development, smaller residential developers are taking notice. "They know that area is growing, and they're jumping in," Bowling adds. Homes here are usually priced between $100,000 and $200,000.
