Goldsmith balances wide-open skies with a small-town pace, set within the energy-rich landscape of Ector County. Residents enjoy quick access to big-city conveniences in nearby Odessa and Midland, while coming home to quieter streets, generous lots, and sunset views that seem to go on forever. Many locals work in the oil and gas sector, and that heritage is visible in everything from backyard workshop culture to Friday night conversations at community gatherings.
Families are served by the well-resourced Ector County ISD, which offers robust academics, career and technical programs, and celebrated extracurriculars across its Odessa campuses. Higher education and lifelong learning are close by, with the University of Texas Permian Basin fostering arts, athletics, and continuing education that draw the wider region.
Weekend plans span in every direction. Hike shifting dunes and stargaze at Monahans Sandhills State Park, explore the Permian’s energy story at the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum, or catch festivals and live performances across the metro. To the north, Andrews adds more dining and retail choices within an easy drive.
Housing in Goldsmith tends to prioritize space and utility—think oversized lots, room for RVs, and places to tinker—making it appealing to first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone who values elbow room with fast commutes.
