What post office are you transferring to? My husband works in the PO here. You will get way more house for your money here. Have you tried to check with mortgage companies to see if they will overlook or loan with higher rate? They do that many times. - Wed Apr 16 2008, 15:09
I grew up in Ransom Canyon 12 miles east of Lubbock, it was an exclusive gated community, it is now a township. Very nice area, and the lots are getting filled up.. Very nice community, with a small shopping center and restraunt near now. The down side is the distance from town, you do limit your interests.
Most of Lubbock is growing to the West South west, a lot of new going up there, it is considered the Wolforth/Frenship area. Betenbough homes are being built every where, they are nice 'affordable' homes, lots of the same house on the same street over and over again. This may be what you are looking for? Or not, just a heads up. Good thing about resale is to the students, rent is horrible in Lubbock... But there is also an old law they pulled up recently, only 2 can rent a house that are not related... So a lot of students are buying homes and 'subletting' now... - Thu Mar 27 2008, 18:34
Check out Ransom Canyon texas, this is about 12 miles from slaton and 12 from Lubbock. Lovely community of nice homes around a lake. The School district is Roosevelt or Slaton depending on where you locate in ransom. Small baptist church near is Roosevelt Baptist church, there is also a conservative non denominational church that started up in Ransom. Methodist church and Church of Christ also close. Probably the area is Baptist, Church of Christ, first then it spreads out pretty evenly... 5 West brookhollow Ransom Canyon Texas can get you started. I do not have a year though - Thu Mar 27 2008, 18:24
