South Overton
Tree-lined streets, local diners, and Lubbock's most livable neighborhood.
Highlights
South Overton sits south of 34th Street between University Avenue and Slide Road — one of Lubbock's most established residential neighborhoods. It has a strong local restaurant scene, mature trees unusual for West Texas, and is popular with families and young professionals.
Know Before You Go
South Overton has some of the most mature tree canopy in Lubbock — noticeably greener than much of the city.
The 34th Street corridor has a good mix of local restaurants, several of which have been Lubbock institutions for decades.
It's primarily residential — don't expect a walkable entertainment district. It's more about quality of life and good local spots.
University Avenue is the main north-south artery through the neighborhood.
