South Overton offers a lively, convenient slice of college-town life with a residential feel. Just south of Texas Tech University and minutes from downtown Lubbock, the neighborhood mixes early 20th-century cottages, student-friendly rentals, and thoughtful infill, creating streets where longtime residents and Red Raiders comfortably cross paths. On weekends, you’ll hear the echo of game-day spirit from campus and the buzz from Broadway’s cafés, pubs, and late-night bites.
Culture is close at hand, from exhibitions at the Museum of Texas Tech University to concerts and rotating galleries at the Buddy Holly Center. Daily life is easy here: quick bike rides to class, short drives to medical centers and tech firms, and straightforward commutes to employers across Lubbock County and nearby Wolfforth. The neighborhood’s grid makes errands simple, while campus greenways and downtown’s evolving streetscape add to the area’s walkable appeal.
Families are served by Lubbock ISD, with access to acclaimed programs such as the International Baccalaureate at Lubbock High School, plus magnet and specialty options across the district. Community events, from university performances to downtown festivals, keep calendars full without straying far from home.
