Winkler County blends wide-open West Texas horizons with small-town convenience. In Kermit and Wink, you’ll find close-knit neighborhoods and an easy pace that still keeps you within an hour of Odessa and Monahans. The oilfield heritage runs deep, supporting jobs and community programs while local eateries and parks keep calendars full.
Families appreciate strong local schools. Kermit ISD offers a full slate of academics, CTE pathways, and athletics, while Wink-Loving ISD delivers small class sizes and standout extracurriculars. For higher education or upskilling, the region’s institutions are close by, including the University of Texas Permian Basin and Odessa College.
Weekends invite exploration. Sand sled or hike the rolling dunes at Monahans Sandhills State Park; dive into the area’s energy story at The Petroleum Museum; or tee off at local courses and enjoy youth sports at community facilities. County services—from the courthouse to libraries—are easy to access through the county government website. Healthcare needs are covered locally at the hospital and clinics, with major medical centers a short drive away.
Whether you’re moving for work, seeking a quieter base with Permian Basin opportunity, or preparing to list, the area rewards forward planners and community-minded residents.
