Odessa neighborhood near stores and schools

Harrisdale is a residential Odessa neighborhood near the city limits. “You can benefit from being close to grocery stores and the schools – you’ve got everything right there,” says Araceli Reyes, a Realtor with All City Real Estate, Ltd. Co., who grew up in the area. University Boulevard, which leads about 4 miles to the University of Texas Permian Basin’s campus, intersects with West County Road. This major thoroughfare is lined with parks, restaurants and grocery stores. It is only a 3-mile drive to Downtown Odessa, where folks can check out a book from the Ector County Library before enjoying dinner at Permian Basin Hamburger Co., a city staple.

Ranch styles under $200,000

A stroll along Harrisdale’s sidewalks takes people past grassy front lawns dotted with oaks and the occasional tall cypress tree. Driveways come with every home, most of which lead to a garage or carport. Even so, the roads are wide enough to allow street parking. The neighborhood is almost exclusively filled with ranch styles built between the 1950s and 1980s. These houses, with brick, stone or vinyl exteriors, are typically within 1,800 square feet. “They’re a little smaller but have big yards – big backyards,” Reyes says. Lot sizes average about 8,000 square feet. “Homes in that area run right below $200,000,” Reyes says. A three-to four-bedroom can range from $125,000 to $200,000.

When residents want a night out, they can choose from one of several restaurants along West County Road. Local eateries include Taqueria El Gallo De Jalisco, which serves authentic Mexican food.

The closest grocery stores are H-E-B and Universal Supermarket. Music City Mall has department stores like JCPenney and is about 5 miles away. After shopping, friends can go to Rock N’ Rink, a roller rink in the mall. Target, Home Depot and Walmart are all about 5 miles away.

Local houses of worship host community events

There are several houses of worship in the area that host community events. Reyes highlighted the Holy Redeemer Festival, sponsored by the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church every fall. “They shut down the whole area for the festival,” Reyes says. Parishioners and neighbors can enjoy live music and local food or try their luck in games like cake walks. The festival's highlight is a raffle, with past prizes including an 80-inch television and a 2024 “RZR” Polaris. The City of Odessa also has a full calendar of events, including the summer Movies in the Park series, where families can bring a picnic blanket and watch a film at one of the many city parks.
