Wolfforth offers highly ranked schools southwest of Lubbock
Top-notch schools and a favorable location draw homebuyers to Wolfforth, a suburb on the southwestern outskirts of Lubbock. The town's population was around 5,500 in 2020, but rapid growth is spurring the number toward 10,000. “Our biggest asset is our school district,” says Danielle Sweat, Wolfforth’s economic development director. “We’re getting a lot of Dallas- Fort Worth transplants that are like, ‘Where can we be that our kids are going to be in great schools?’”
The population of Wolfforth has nearly doubled in the last 5 years.
Preston Manor Park is a popular spot to cast a line and enjoy the fresh air.

Niche gives the Frenship Independent School District an A-plus
Most students attend schools in the Frenship Independent School District. The district receives an A-plus from Niche, which ranks it the best school district and place to teach in the Lubbock area. The district added a new high school in the fall of 2025 to help accommodate its growth and popularity. “Pretty much from every neighborhood in the city limits, you can hear the band and the football game and all the activities that small-town Friday nights bring,” Sweat says. The Texas Education Freedom Act, signed in 2025, provides eligible students with funding for private or charter schools and other educational needs.
Frenship High School serves grades 9-12.
Frenship Middle School has an A on Niche.

New Traditional starter and luxury homes feature recent construction
Wolfforth’s median home price is $255,000, slightly higher than Lubbock’s median of $238,000. New Traditional homes, many built within the last 10 years, dominate the property blend, with townhomes, cottages, and two-story contemporary builds mixed in. Most houses are built close together on tidy lots bordered by broad sidewalks, and attached garages are common features.
Public Improvement Districts (PIDs) and communities like Preston Manor, Harvest and Overlook feature newly built homes and exclusive amenities. “Preston Manor . . . has a private park, a private dog park, a pond . . . I see people fish on it quite a bit,” says Nick Simpson, Realtor and partner at Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate and Blu Realty, who has 5 years of local experience. “You have some other PIDs, but that one is the most exclusive.” Wolfforth has a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, below the national average of 4.
Homes in Wolfforth have well maintained lawns for owners to enjoy.
Wolfforth’s median home price is about $250,000.

A convenient commute to Lubbock amenities
U.S. Route 62/82, also known as the Marsha Sharp Freeway, is the primary artery connecting Wolfforth to Lubbock. “We’re seeing a lot of growth southwest of the interstate, and Wolfforth is kind of the epicenter of that right now,” Simpson says. It’s about 12 miles to downtown Lubbock, and flights to hubs like Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth are available from Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport, roughly 20 miles away. The closest option for medical care is Exceptional Community Hospital – Lubbock, about 5 miles away. SPARTAN transit service provides residents with on-demand shuttle transportation.
Wolfforth commerce includes BBQ, breweries and butchers
With Lubbock so close by, residents don’t lack shopping and dining options, but a few businesses have carved out names for themselves right in Wolfforth. “Nobody talks about Wolfforth without talking about Evie Mae’s BBQ,” Sweat says. “They are a destination.” Locals crowd the brick building for hearty plates of brisket, ribs and pulled pork. The Goodline Beer Company pours its brews at Wolfforth Public House, and the Wolfforth Farmers Market sells locally grown produce, baked goods and handmade crafts on Saturdays year-round. The butcher case at All Hale Meats is another local hot spot. The nearest United Supermarkets is about 5 miles away in Lubbock, but the grocery chain plans to break ground on a Wolfforth location in spring 2026.
Evie Mae’s BBQ is a hotspot in Wolfforth, serving all kinds of barbecue.
Goodline Beer Company has free video games for kids to play.

Autumn events are the highlight of the social calendar
The Harvest Festival, which celebrated its 35th year in September 2025, is the town’s flagship event. “It starts with a parade, and we have a Harvest Queen that we’ll crown on Friday night at the football game,” Sweat says. “After the parade, we have live music and vendors, and all Frenship ISD’s elementary schools participate in a color run.” Hundreds of trick-or-treaters haunt the popular Frenship Mesa neighborhood on Halloween night. “You don’t even shut your door, because there’s no point,” Sweat laughs. “When somebody new moves to the neighborhood, I’m like, ‘Did you tell them to buy candy, and a lot of it?’” Other annual events include the Fourth on the Fifth celebration in July and a Christmas tree lighting in December.
Weather hazards include hail, drought and tornado activity
Wolfforth residents are subject to extreme weather throughout the year. Summer brings hail and high temperatures, and tornado risk is relatively high. Ice storms are a common winter occurrence. The town’s drought contingency plan includes a landscape irrigation schedule that restricts watering to designated hours. Flash flooding can occur during periods of heavy rain.
