Current Resident: Lubbock has been the best city the past four years. Growing up I visited all the time because my little sister had doctors appointments at UMC. It was great back then, the people were always kind and went out of their way to make a good impression about the city. You won't find kinder people - even the college students working at "Spanky's". And now as a college student in the same city, I am still as impressed as I was a decade ago. In fact, a large reason for wanting to come to Texas Tech was because of how friendly people were. Furthermore, Lubbock is a foodie paradise, filled with great locally owned restaurants and franchise's. It is a perfect city with diverse groups of people - college students, country and city types, families and much more. It is guaranteed you will find your people in Lubbock. It has amazing history with Buddy Holly, former congressman and more!... Read 897 reviews

Current Resident: Wolfforth is a nice area. I have lived here for about 3 years and it's a safe town. Plenty of police surveying the area makes me feel secured. Also, my next-door neighbor is a cop. I go to Frenship High School, and I love it there. My brother goes to Bennett Elementary School, and he enjoys his education experience as well. An ideal environment to raise children or settle down. Plenty of food businesses to choose from, I work at Pizza Hut and It's my favorite job so far. Delightful town overall!... Read 11 reviews

Current Resident: As a resident of Shallowater, I've come to love this small, safe town. Although Shallowater is only minutes from Lubbock, there are no restaurants in the town itself. The town includes no activities outside of school, but it is a very safe community.... Read 13 reviews

Current Resident: I've lived in Slaton all my life minus 3 years, and I've thoroughly enjoyed being here! The community is lovable and loving and there are so many small opportunities to venture into. Our town is a cute lovable place full of vintage buildings and even a Square! There are historical landmarks and antique artifacts just about everywhere you look. What a town!... Read 14 reviews
