Selling a House in The Meadows
The Meadows is settled in a way newer developments are not. Seven in ten houses are lived in by the people who own them, which is high for a subdivision of this size and tends to mean long tenures and well-kept streets.

Appraised values, not sale prices. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices are not public record. MLS-based figures cover listed sales but miss off-market and cash ones, and an appraisal-district value is not a market value. Every number here is a starting point, not an offer.
How The Meadows compares to Southwest Lubbock
Set against the ZIP it sits in, The Meadows appraises about 19% below the Southwest Lubbock median, with houses 18% smaller than the Southwest Lubbock norm, and owner-occupancy roughly the same. Those three numbers together say more about what a sale here looks like than any single average does.
Where The Meadows sits among Lubbock neighborhoods
Ranked against the other neighborhoods covered here, The Meadows is the 2nd largest of the eighteen Lubbock neighborhoods on this site, 12th by appraised value, and 8th for owner-occupancy.
What that means if you are selling here
With a split like this, condition varies more from house to house than the averages suggest. A long-held family home and a fifteen-year rental can sit on the same street with identical bones and very different wear. That is why we will not quote a number off the subdivision average -- it would be a guess dressed up as an offer.
Streets we see most in The Meadows
The roll puts most of the neighborhood on these streets: 90Th St, 91St St, 92Nd St, 93Rd St. If your address is not on that list but you are in The Meadows, we still buy there — the list is the densest part, not the boundary.

Would I do better listing my The Meadows house?
