Selling a House in Viridian
Viridian is the most investor-held large subdivision in Lubbock. Only about a third of its houses carry a homestead exemption, which is extraordinary for a development this new and this far south.

What the roll shows for Viridian
From the July 2026 Lubbock Central Appraisal District roll, counted over improved properties in Viridian — lots with a building on them.

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 Viridian compares to South Lubbock
Set against the ZIP it sits in, Viridian appraises close to the South Lubbock median, with houses 5% smaller than the South Lubbock norm, and owner-occupancy 26.9 points lower. Those three numbers together say more about what a sale here looks like than any single average does.
Where Viridian sits among Lubbock neighborhoods
Ranked against the other neighborhoods covered here, Viridian is the 17th largest of the eighteen Lubbock neighborhoods on this site, 14th by appraised value, and 18th for owner-occupancy. That puts it among the most investor-held neighborhoods here, so more of what sells is a rental rather than a family home.
What that means if you are selling here
Where most houses are not owner-occupied, the sellers we hear from are usually landlords rather than families: a rental that has stopped earning its keep, a property inherited with tenants already in place, or a small portfolio somebody wants out of. If a tenant is in place, the lease survives the sale and their deposit follows the property. We would rather buy it correctly with them there than have you empty the house first.
Streets we see most in Viridian
The roll puts most of the neighborhood on these streets: 138Th St, 137Th St, 135Th St, 136Th St. If your address is not on that list but you are in Viridian, we still buy there — the list is the densest part, not the boundary.
Common questions about selling in Viridian

What is a house in Viridian typically worth?
The median appraised value in Viridian is about $220,000 on a typical 1,665 square feet. That is the county's appraised figure and not a sale price; Texas does not put sale prices in the public record. Treat it as a starting point.
How many Viridian houses are rentals or second homes?

How does Viridian compare to the rest of South Lubbock?
Viridian appraises at about $220,000 against $220,493 for South Lubbock as a whole, with owner-occupancy of 34.5% against 61.4%.
Would I do better listing my Viridian house?
Often, yes -- and we will say so. If the house is in retail condition and you are not under time pressure, a listing usually nets more. A direct sale is worth it when speed, certainty, privacy or avoiding repairs matter more than the last few percent.
Want a number for your Viridian house?
Send the address and the condition. If a direct sale is not your best move, we will say so.
