East Amarillo

east side · 79107

East Amarillo is where the city's romance with itself gets honest. The east side is older Black and Hispanic Amarillo, working shifts at the packing plants and the rail yards, and the housing prices reflect a market the rest of town has politely ignored. Rent is the lowest in the metro, which sounds like a feature until you price a Lyft to anywhere worth going. Dating-wise it is a neighborhood of front porches and church socials more than apps and cocktail bars. The tradeoff is real: affordability and community on one side, thin nightlife and a long drive west on the other.
