Normandy is a residential area near Odessa College

Although the Normandy community in Odessa is primarily residential, locals are close to schools and commercial arteries. "Normandy is near major roadways and busy streets...There are multiple parks that are close," says Cynthia Barker, a West Texas resident and a Realtor with LocalPro Realty. She adds that residents are about five minutes from Odessa College. The homes here typically sell for less than in other communities around the metro area. Some children can walk to a highly rated public school located inside the neighborhood.

The housing market has ranch-style homes and bungalows

Alongside Normandy's paved roads are single-story homes and sidewalks. Behind many houses are walkable alleyways made of clay and gravel. Buyers will find ranch-style dwellings and bungalows dating back to the 1940s and 1950s. The community has several homes in need of renovation that have attracted investors. Some of the residences include upgrades such as remodeled kitchens, new roofs or replaced sewer lines. Home prices typically range from about $50,000 to $230,000. The area has some risk of flooding, especially west of Adams Avenue. The city is prone to severe weather, such as tropical storms and sandstorms. Tornadoes can also be a threat in this part of Texas.

Bonham Middle receives a C-minus, and Permian High has a C. During football season, locals gather at the Ratliff Stadium, which was featured in the film Friday Night Lights.

Within a few miles of parks and the YMCA

Although Normandy doesn't have neighborhood parks, locals are near recreational destinations. "You've got Freedom Park, Jim Parker Park, Dan Hemphill Park and Purple Sage Park," Barker says. "The YMCA is also really close, it's about a mile down the road." Dan Hemphill Park, also known as Central Park, sits a mile away; the outdoor spot has two basketball courts and a small play area. The on-site Boys & Girls Club provides after-school and summer programs. "[The city also] has the Odessa Jackalopes, which is a hockey team," Barker says. The team's home base, Ector County Coliseum, is about 2 miles away. The arena also hosts bull riding competitions, concerts and other live events.
