Preston Smith

Named in honor of a former Texas governor and Lubbock business leader, the Preston Smith neighborhood offers a family-friendly setting anchored by an on-site school and abundant green space. Located between the higher-priced LakeRidge Country Club area to the east and Regal Park to the west, the neighborhood provides more accessible home prices that align closely with Lubbock’s overall market, making it an appealing option for first-time buyers and growing families. The area is known for its walkability, mature trees, and well-maintained sidewalks, along with the added benefit of being within the Lubbock Independent School District. At the heart of the neighborhood is Phil Hoel Park, which features winding walking trails around a large pond, opportunities for fishing and birdwatching, tennis courts, and a playground. Additional nearby amenities include a championship golf course, swimming facilities, and club amenities to the east, as well as Jan Jennings Park just north of the neighborhood, offering open fields, walking paths, and another pond that further enhances the community’s outdoor appeal.
