Southgate offers convenient access to the interstate and shopping centers
At the southern end of Lubbock, Southgate offers commuters convenient interstate access and proximity to major shopping hubs. A thin part of the north edge of the neighborhood holds industrial warehouses, while the rest of the area is residential.

Southgate offers residents quick access to I-289 for an easy daily commute.
Fair prices and quiet charm in Southgate come with convenient interstate access.
