Know Before You Go

  1. West Lubbock is car-dependent — it's built around the US-62 and Loop 289 corridors with large lots and no walkable district.
  2. This is where most new home construction is happening. Good area if you're relocating and want newer builds.
  3. The Marsha Sharp Freeway corridor has the highest concentration of home services contractors in the 806.
  4. For BBQ, keep driving west to Wolfforth — it's only 10 more minutes and the quality jump is significant.
