Welcome to Valencia! My greatest hope with these blog posts is to give you a small glimpse of a local Lubbock or Plainview Neighborhood, to help you get a feel for the area. When purchasing a home, especially if you’re from out of town, it is difficult to know what all is available, and what neighborhoods might “feel” like home to you!
Valencia is located in South Lubbock and runs about 82nd st to 88th st, and Iola ave to Kline Ave. It is about 40 acres and was developed between 2009-2023 (although I believe there is still about 1 lot left for sale over there). This area is a part of the Frenship Independent School district and feeds in to Crestview Elementary, Heritage Middle School, and will be a part of the new Memorial High School come the fall of 2025.
Right in the middle of this area is Charlie Evans Memorial Park which has a great green space, a pavilion with picnic tables, playground swings, bench swings, trees and concrete walking space. This area is beautiful for play with children, and a great addition to the neighborhood. Many people ask if this area is a Home Owners Association, or an HOA, but this one is not. This area is however a Public Improvement District or a PID. In this case the resident pays a small extra portion in taxes to help maintain and care for the public spaces, like this park, and it’s entrances. Unlike an HOA, a PID does not have a governing body or committee.
Home values in this area currently start around the mid $300,000’s but can go all the way up to the mid to upper $500,000’s at this time of research. However, always reach out to a local professional for the most current up to date property values! If you have any questions about Public Improvement Districts, or this area in general, hit our “meet the team” section and give one of our agents a call! Happy House Hunting!
