Centrally located Lubbock community

Originally established in 1928, the Maxey Park neighborhood was born out of a donation by prominent Lubbock entrepreneur James Maxey. The 100-acre park and adjoining neighborhood bearing his name sits east of downtown Lubbock, right on the border of Texas Tech University and in the medical district home to some of Lubbock’s finest hospitals. “It’s kind of like the heart of Lubbock and it’s very centrally located,” says Jennifer Roberts-Busbea, broker and owner of Halley Road Real Estate. The medical district anchored by Covenant Health System with a children’s hospital and a women’s health center, along with Texas Tech University are two cornerstones of Lubbock’s economy.
