Moving to Amarillo??
Moving to Amarillo? ![]()
You lucky person!! No....I really mean it! Living here as long as I've lived in Amarillo you'd think that I'd be ready to go somewhere else or .....well.....get outa town! Not so!!
Amarillo is a great place to live and to raise a family or even to retire! I've sold homes here in Amarillo to folks that are doing all the above!
If you're looking for a place to raise a family, Amarillo is tough to beat!! Great job outlook, great schools, pretty decent shopping (for you ladies) and oh what a wonderful group of medical facilities!
NEW TO AMARILLO? You ask..."What is there to do here?" What's there NOT to do here, I'd ask. Area Amarillo Attractions include: Lake Merideth, Palo Duro Canyon (The Panhandle's Grand Canyon), Wonderland Park, Splash Water Park, The American Quarter Horse Association, Will Rogers Range Riders, Amarillo Dillas Baseball, Amarillo Dusters, arena football, the Amarillo Gorillas Hockey Team, Amarillo College Lamplight, Amarillo botanical Gardens, Amarillo Little Theatre, Amarillo Museum of Art, Amarillo Opera, Amarillo Youth Choirs, Black History Cultural Center, Cal Farley's Boys Ranch, Amarillo Civic Center, Amarillo Discovery Center, English Field Museum, Performing Arts Center, Kids Inc., Kwahadi Dancers, Lone Star Ballet, Lone Star Rising, Texas (the Play), Amarillo Symphony, Tri-State Fairgrounds, Westgate Mall and Wildcat Bluff to mention a few! That doesn't even include all the great new places to shop that have recently moved into Amarillo!
