Sleepy Hollow’s established subdivisions and convenient amenities

Situated near Amarillo’s westernmost loop, Sleepy Hollow has grown in size and popularity since its establishment in the 1970s. The neighborhood has one of the largest varieties of real estate in Amarillo, with listings ranging from 1980s family homes to the city’s highest-priced luxury residences. Streets like Cloister Parkway and Versailles Drive have some of the only million-dollar homes available in Amarillo. The subdivisions and cul-de-sacs are connected by well-kept streets and mature trees that have been maintained for decades. The neighborhood is also zoned to some of Amarillo’s highest-ranking public schools and has a convenient location close to Interstate 40 and large retail centers like Westgate Mall. “It’s the part of town where you have easy access to shops and restaurants, a great school district and beautiful brick homes,” says Andy Justus, a Realtor with Wieck Realty Inc. and news anchor for KAMR Local 4. “We’re seeing it go through a revitalization phase, with young families buying those 1980s homes and redoing them.” Sleepy Hollow has the added benefit of being outside Amarillo’s main floodplain but is still prone to high winds and seasonal storms throughout the year.

Luxury listings in Versailles and The Cloisters

Most Sleepy Hollow homes are new traditional-style brick residences built in the 1980s and 1990s. These late-20th-century properties are on neat streets and cul-de-sacs with narrow sidewalks and well-kept lawns lined with mature trees. “The people that live there just love Sleepy Hollow,” says Velma Purdy, a Realtor with Keller Williams Commercial who has been selling in Amarillo for over a decade. “They love being able to walk around, and the established trees and homes that were custom-built.” The average home costs between $300,000 to $500,000. The neighborhood also has some small luxury developments. The Cloisters and Versailles are filled with long, sweeping driveways and intricate hedges surrounding Greek Revival and Mediterranean mansions that can sell for $900,000 to $3 million.

Drunken Oyster brings New Orleans to Amarillo

The south side of Sleepy Hollow has a few locally owned spots that are well-suited for dinner or a drink out. Drunken Oyster on 45th Avenue, founded by celebrity chef Rory Schepisi, brings both fresh seafood and New Orleans flair to Amarillo. Decorated in heavy drapes, gas lanterns and brick walls worthy of a French Quarter eatery, the Drunken Oyster serves its namesake seafood along with aged steak and over 300 cocktails at the full absinthe bar. On the same street, Pondaseta Brewing sells over 100 home-brewed beers and holds regular fundraisers for causes like the Amarillo NAACP. Westgate Mall, one of Amarillo’s largest shopping centers, is 2 miles away. The mall, which is right off I-40, has multiple clothing shops, chain restaurants and supermarkets like Target and Sam’s Club.
