Walkable south Lubbock neighborhood fit for families
Named after former Texas Governor and Lubbock entrepreneur Preston Smith, the eponymous neighborhood is backed by a neighborhood school and a park that offers convenience and community for families. “It’s in the Lubbock ISD (independent school district) so it has a little bit lower taxes, it has some schools right there in the neighborhood, and a very nice large park with a pond, and prices are in the median range,” says Cindy Harrison, a Realtor with Texas Real Estate Group. Sitting in between the higher priced Lakeridge Country Club to the east and the Regal Park to the west, Preston Smith has homes at lower price points that track the average for Lubbock and are competitive for first-time home buyers and families in a walkable neighborhood lined with mature trees and well manicured sidewalks. “It’s a big attraction for families,” Harrison adds.
Greenspace and walkability set the tone
Phil Hoel Park sits right in the center of the neighborhood and is known for its meandering walking paths that encircle a large pond known as a quiet spot to cast a fishing line. It is also home to numerous species of birds who wander along the shore. For more active fun, Hoel Park also has tennis courts and a playground. Just east of Preston Smith, LakeRidge Country Club hosts one of Lubbock’s finest golf courses and also features a junior Olympic sized pool, a clubhouse and tennis courts. Jan Jennings Park sits just north of the neighborhood, extending from 82nd Street north to 73rd Street with an open field, walking paths and a pond.
Locals love fishing in the Phil Hoel Park.
LakeRidge Country Club is located next to Preston Smith, so residents can easily enjoy golfing.
