Access to retail, restaurants and schools in Cielo Vista

Cielo Vista might be on the outskirts of Odessa, but residents don’t have to travel far to find the basics. The neighborhood is located along Texas Highway 338 on the western edge of the city, part of the Midland-Odessa region in the heart of oil country. Retail and restaurant chains line the perimeter, and an elementary and middle school are right in the neighborhood. “I would say those are very affordable homes,” says Odessa native Kelly Clark, a Realtor with eXp Realty. “People are moving into the area and starting to refurbish those homes.”

Cielo Vista offers an amazing and safe neighborhood with easy access throughout Midland.

Ranch-style homes on small lots date back to the 1950s

Most Cielo Vista residents own rather than rent, and single-family homes make up just over half of the property blend, with several apartment complexes also in the mix. Paved sidewalks run past ranch-style homes with cross-gabled roofs, most dating from the 1950s to the ’80s. Lots typically measure under a quarter acre, with tidy front lawns and short driveways. Smaller homes and fixer-uppers range from $150,000 to $300,000, while larger or recently renovated builds typically cost $300,000 to $350,000.

Highway 338 forms the Odessa Loop

Highway 338 skims the neighborhood’s western border and forms the Odessa Loop, which encircles the city and connects to Interstate 20. Downtown Odessa is 3 miles away, and commuters to Midland have a 27-mile drive via I-20. Nonstop flights to seven major hubs are available from Midland International Air & Space Port, about 14 miles away. Buses on the EZ-Rider system serving Midland-Odessa stop on West University Boulevard en route to the Downtown Transfer Plaza. According to Clark, however, not a lot of people use the bus system. “We’re an oil and gas industry here," she says. "Most people drive company trucks.” The nearest medical facility is Medical Center Hospital, about a mile away.

Living in the heart of the Permian Basin

Odessa is in the Permian Basin, the highest-producing oil field in the United States. High hydrogen sulfide levels can affect air quality. Area officials deny the levels are high enough to pose a threat, but locals say the air often smells of sulfur, and some Odessa residents have reported health issues. Well water can also be at risk for toxicity, but most Cielo Vista residents rely on the city water system.
