East Park is a community with newer homes and businesses about 8 miles from Downtown Odessa. “They’ve had a tremendous amount of growth in that area,” says Laura Sales, Realtor and owner of The Sales Team Realtors. This growth can be attributed to the success of the oil and gas industry, which makes up one-fourth of Odessa’s major employers. The city’s location at the heart of the Permian Basin makes it ideal for 1PointFive to build its $1 billion carbon capture. The booming economy has led to new housing, restaurants and stores in Odessa’s northern and eastern parts over the past decade. East Park is only one example of that growth.

Homes built after 1980
Sidewalks line the streets of East Park. “It’s a pretty quiet neighborhood where you can walk your dog,” says Daisy Rodriguez, Realtor with Meraki Homes, LLC, who lives in the area. While pines and oaks grow in some front lawns, many residents have opted to decorate their lawns with bright green grass or rock gardens. Wide driveways lead to two-car garages, although the roads have plenty of room for street parking. Most of East Park is filled with ranch styles and modern prairies built between the late 1980s and the 2010s, making it one of the younger neighborhoods in Odessa. “What really drives that area is the price point,” Sales says. Prices for a three-to-four-four bedroom under 2,000 square feet can range from $200,000 to $275,000, while more than 2,000 square feet typically costs between $275,000 and $350,000.
East Park’s wide streets and corner lots provide ample space for relaxed and spacious living.

Downtown Odessa has more options, including Homemade Wines, which is open for lunch and dinner.

Nearby park and golf links
