Skate Ranch is a Lubbock institution
Residents can lounge in the grassy field of Ratliff Park, work up a sweat during spirited games on the tennis and volleyball courts and come together under the pavilion for birthday parties, baby showers and other celebrations. For indoor fun, the Skate Ranch roller skating rink is like stepping back in time. The scuffed floors and psychedelic carpets that glow under the blacklight have witnessed countless spins, twirls and falls since the family-owned skating rink opened in 1967. McAlister Park is less than 2 miles away and has a disc golf course, a skate park and the Cavazos Baseball Complex, the site of Lubbock Challenger Little League. Next door to McAlister Park is the Milestones Development and Play Park, a 20,000-square-foot facility that brings the fun of outdoor parks inside for children of all abilities. Kids scramble across the netted two-story jungle tree house, climb up the colorful climbing wall and unleash their imaginations inside a 1,700-square-foot lifelike dream home.
Skate Ranch in Wester is a family owned and operated skate facility since 1967.
McAlister Park has numerous sports fields as well has open space for trails and hiking.

Single-story homes under $225,000
Most of the single-story and ranch-style homes in the neighborhood were built in the 1960s. Sidewalks line the gridded streets and mature trees dot the neighborhood. Many homes are advertised as starter homes for first-time homebuyers or rental opportunities for investors. A three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a single-car garage can range from $125,000 to $225,000. Larger homes with four bedrooms can range from $165,000 to $285,000. Rentals are common in the neighborhood, as Wester is located close to Texas Tech University and Lubbock Christian University. “It’s a good rental market because we’ve got three colleges [in Lubbock], so there’s a lot of students,” Alexander says. “We love it because Texas Tech brings 75,000 kids nine months out of the year, which fuels a lot of our economy. I can’t tell you how many times [parents] will buy a house when the kids go to Texas Tech … and once all the kids get through Tech, they’ll turn around and sell it and they’ll make about a hundred grand.”
Ranch-style homes in the $125,000 range are abundant in the Wester neighborhood.
