Access to highway loop and shopping in Remington Park
Remington Park, 9 miles from downtown Lubbock, is favored for its convenience and quiet atmosphere. “It’s an infill neighborhood,” says Clay Enger, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Trusted Advisors, who has worked in the industry for 33 years. “It’s a newer little portion in an older area. It’s generally pretty quiet with little traffic and great proximity to South Plains Mall.” The area is mainly single-family homes bordered by the Texas State Highway Loop 289, which forms a beltway around Lubbock, providing easy access to the rest of the city. “You are not limited by geography in Lubbock,” says Enger. “It’s a very easily drivable community. People go all across town for events.

Environmental concerns in Lubbock
Lubbock is within Tornado Alley, and the city suffered from an F5 in 1970. F5 tornados cause the most severe damage. Lubbock has no public storm shelters but encourages residents to register their private shelters on the city website. Texas generally has a hot climate, and Lubbock can reach an average summer high of 94 degrees Fahrenheit. Stormwater pollution is also an issue, which can cause sewer overflows and potentially contaminate drinking water. The park in the center of Remington has a detention basin to help mitigate this.
Athletic events and a farmers market
From August to November, football fans pack into Jones AT&T Stadium, 7 miles away, to watch Texas Tech University’s Red Raiders. During the off-season, Texas Tech’s basketball and baseball teams pack the stands. The Lubbock Downtown Farmers Market is held every Saturday from the end of May to mid-October along Fifth Street and Avenue J in downtown.

City parks with detention basins
“There is a small lake within the neighborhood, so it offers a park-like setting,” says Enger. In the heart of Remington Park is a green space of the same name, with manicured greenery surrounding Playa Lake, a stormwater detention basin. “There’s no boats, no swimming; it’s used as a drainage area to route rainwater,” adds Enger. Nearby, Jack Stevens Park, which borders the area, also has a detention basin surrounded by greenery but includes more amenities, like tennis courts and a playground.
Remington Park residents can take the kids for a fun in the sun on the playground at Jack Stevens Park.
