West Lubbock neighborhood with shopping and affordable homes

Before the construction of West End Center in 2014, the land below Lubbock’s largest shopping complex was an untouched open field. Now, the 350,000 square foot complex and its dozens of shops and restaurants serves as a testament to the city’s rapid development and expansion west of Loop 289. “West End Center is one of two major shopping centers in the city of Lubbock where people will flock,” says Wilson Bowling, a neighborhood planner with the City of Lubbock. Eight miles west of downtown Lubbock and bordered by Loop 289, the neighborhood is more than just shopping with its location in the highly rated Frenship Independent School District and mix of relatively affordable homes providing options for residents.
