So I live in DFW but travel to west Texas for work. My objective opinion. Amarillo is a better option if you are older. Nice neighborhoods. Pretty quiet place to visit or live. Lubbock is better for younger people (under 60). Lubbock seems to have more activity…however…seems like Lubbock could be more dangerous. Although…Lubbock has nice neighborhoods especially in the southwest area of the city. After staying in both cities…I prefer to stay in Lubbock and drive to Amarillo.
Both are good places to live. The best neighborhoods in Amarillo are nicer than the best neighborhoods in Lubbock. But Lubbock has Tech and slightly more shopping/restaurants than Amarillo.
Thanks so much. Yes there are new construction duplexes. Most will be on the North and South side of town. North is going to be a little less expensive but great opportunities. There are also pre-existing duplexes that have been built in the last 20 years. I'd love to chat with you about your investment goals here and send you more info! Feel free to call/text/email.
She didn’t mention the wages are more in Amarillo, Amarillo has a hockey team and a semi professional baseball team with a fantastic stadium downtown, a better Colosseum and a completely revamped downtown that looks more like Fort Worth than Lubbock.. plus Amarillo has a zoo better museums and a larger mall… plus Amarillo has 100s of restaurants, a fantastic amusement park and waterpark and is located on I 40 (America’s highway)
I just move to Lubbock from Amarillo and the wages are NOT higher in Amarillo! The fantastic downtown things you love were forced on taxpayers AFTER we voted them down. The mall is basically dead. As far as restaurants go, Lubbock has just as many. Te amusement parks and water parks are over priced tourists traps.
Does Amarillo have anything comparable to the United Supermarket Arena or Buddy Holly Hall? Also, Tech sports from September-June….Downtown Lubbock needs a lot of work, but there are plans in place and it should get up to speed in a few years.
@@CatherineDavid-xv4qdAmarillo’s mall is probably one of few in America that has recently had an addition. I’ve driven by lately and the parking lot was as full as 10 years ago. That, in a recession.
Lived in Lubbock in my 20s now 60s in Amarillo similar size and weather. Lubbock has better shopping and Medical access. I believe crime is worse in Lubbock. Amarillo is two counties Potter and Randal Both are conservative big plus ! Ps big fast growth is not always a good thing!
Both should expand their convention centers, build hotels downtown. South Plain mall is better than the one Amarillo. Texas Tech helps Lubbock economically but Amarillo is gonna have a Bucees to help Amarillo economically. Lubbock is dusty in springtime and Amarillo is windy.
I didn't watch this whole video but did this lady say the City has become better after being a sanctuary city???? Well she lost business with that comment
Texas Tech make Lubbock stand out,this World class University attract folks from all over the country, first job out of HS was there,Amarillo has a great Steak house 72 oz consume the whole one next on house,and Cadillac grave yd
@@ronniebelt1088 I never said crime doesnt exist... I said its not the most dangerous city in the country like the crime data suggests, on the west side
I am looking at Lubbock because years ago I meet a college young lady at a women's conference in Florida and she was kind enough to buy me a shirt the speaker wanted everyone to wear on the next day.
Please move to Lubbock and take the Liberal Democrat California with you and all Conservatives Californians are welcome to stay!!! 😂 Not joking I have met some great Californians more conservative than Texas good people!!!!😊
Lived there while I was at Tech and no it wasn’t. The only advantage Lubbock has over Amarillo is the university and the better stores at the mall. Moved to Amarillo after I graduated and haven’t looked back. I am 25 and have lived here for 3 yrs now and it’s definitely better than Lubbock.
Girlie! You're so amazing! You give so much value, thank you for your hard work 💜
I've been to both. The Denver metro area beats them all😂

Thank you very much for the additional information about Amarillo, Texas. I really appreciate it. 🇨🇱🐂🤠👢🐄

We have been living in Lubbock for almost 3yrs now....its very Safe and less crime ❤
Are you in real estate? If so are the soils suitable for basement builds in homes in Lubbock/Amarillo compared to east Texas soil?
I’m on team Amarillo! 🔥🔥
Amarillo tx!!! 💯🔥🤘🏼
I just left Amarillo for Lubbock.
If there is anything we can be doing to help you with your move we would love to help! Welcome to lubbock!
@@LubbockTexasLiving Thank you.
@@CatherineDavid-xv4qd why did you leave?
@@texaslovelylady horrible bosses no job prospects for people over 40
It seems like Amarillo is mostly HOA's too when it comes to houses for sale.
Good to know
Bought several houses with my in laws, none are hoa 😂
@@realkevintorres what part?
Newer neighborhoods, but I’m sure it’s the same in most places.
Both should expand their convention centers, build hotels downtown. South Plain mall is better than the one Amarillo. Texas Tech helps Lubbock economically but Amarillo is gonna have a Bucees to help Amarillo economically. Lubbock is dusty in springtime and Amarillo is windy.
How has Lubbock improved after becoming a prolife sanctuary city?
I didn't watch this whole video but did this lady say the City has become better after being a sanctuary city????
Well she lost business with that comment
Touché. This means more crime and more homeless people.
Lubbock is a sanctuary city?!?!? God help us all.
It hasn’t. Religious zealots are a cancer.
Lubbock Texas All the way ❤❤❤ and Lubbock could've gotten joyland I lived in Amarillo and I hated but some people's from Amarillo don't like Lubbock
You should have labeled this Video "Why Lubbock is better than Amarillo" you are little biased i would say.
Well truthfully speaking Lubbock IS better than Amarillo…and this is coming from a native of Amarillo. 🧑🏻🌾🇨🇱
El paso
Texas Tech make Lubbock stand out,this World class University attract folks from all over the country, first job out of HS was there,Amarillo has a great Steak house 72 oz consume the whole one next on house,and Cadillac grave yd
❤😘
Are there black gangs in Lubbock?
Both suck!
Pick your poison, huge dust storms or cow poo smell.
Tell me I'm wrong.
If any places is dustier than Amarillo it’s Lubbock.
Aren’t both cities having major issues with crime? Violent crime
Idk about Amarillo, but Lubbock is outrageously concentrated on the far east side. So unless you go there it’s actually crazy safe.
@@babak4952Actually wrong, I literally got broken into on the west side of town, so no none of Lubbock is safe.
@@ronniebelt1088 I never said crime doesnt exist... I said its not the most dangerous city in the country like the crime data suggests, on the west side
My vote, Lubbock 100 percent
The one with the biggest tumbleweeds and biggest women wins, im from there.
It is a hard choice: 250 lbs women with no teeth or 300 lbs women with dentures.
Sound is terrible & her voice is not audible. Talks too fast
I guess it depends on your system and wifi, because I can hear her just fine at normal speed.
Lubbock is a loþ nicer than Amarillo. No doubt!!!!!!!
I am looking at Lubbock because years ago I meet a college young lady at a women's conference in Florida and she was kind enough to buy me a shirt the speaker wanted everyone to wear on the next day.
I completely disagree.. Amarillo is way nicer than Lubbock and is a lot more Gen X friendly.. plus way better wages..
Hardly
Only thing in Lubbock is Tech. And way more religious zealots down there.
Please move to Lubbock and take the Liberal Democrat California with you and all Conservatives Californians are welcome to stay!!! 😂 Not joking I have met some great Californians more conservative than Texas good people!!!!😊
