Lubbock, TX suggestions
 

Just got hired by Texas Tech, starting in 2 weeks. Looking for suggestions on neighborhoods and the like. Got some ideas already, but if anyone has firsthand experience with the area I'd love to hear it.

No experience, but wanted to congratulate you ... congrats.

As did I, Congrats!

No help here, but congrats!

Yeah, figured it was a slim chance since Lubbock is fairly small (315k MSA). My initial research plus feedback from my boss and coworkers says I had the right areas targeted anyways.

Pretty ridiculous prices there. One place I'm looking at has a 1300 square foot, 2 bedroom place for just under $1100/mo with linens (bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom), fiber internet, cable, and utilities all included. Another one gives you a free month for a 12 month lease, has free internet, and has a 960 square foot, 2 bedroom place for $840/mo. Those are both in the nice, newly built up part of the city within a mile or so of things like Alamo Drafthouse and Costco.
