Should You Move To Amarillo Texas? The Pros And Cons of living in Amarillo Texas

[@brendahicks4627]

He is really making it sound better than it is. The wind will make you crazy!

[@tdwilcox]

I live in Amarillo and been here for 32 years . My wife and I are retired but let us not forget what has happen to Amarillo over the last 4 years . With a crime rate of 42 per one thousand residents, Amarillo has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 24. Source national crime burial on statistics .

[@wesdoobner7521]

I've lived here for 53 of my 56 years and the last time I experienced even the smallest crime was when someone stole the louvers off my 75 camaro back in 1987. In Amarillo crime generally doesn't happen to people who mind their own business, other than domestic violence. That, and bar fights at 2am, juveniles vandalizing cars late at night or people stealing out of open garages is what is driving up the crime rates. Practically nobody ever get mugged or assaulted just out of nowhere.

[@romancastillo8430]

Stay strapped

[@Secret_Squirrel03]

Not to mention human trafficking is a huge problem there as well. Every business I have gone into has a piece of paper saying let’s fight human trafficking or something along those lines.

[@ThePracticalPatriot]

@@wesdoobner7521 Highly suggest you enroll in the APD Citizens police Academy and take a couple of ride alongs. I did. You couldn't be more wrong. Spend one night on patrol and report back. Just because nobody has stolen YOUR Garden Gnome, doesn't mean it's not happening- all the time, and all over town.

[@mrnt1257]

@@wesdoobner7521I would disagree with you. I had my catalytic converter stolen from the parking lot at Amarillo Little Theatre. I have had 3 lawn mowers stolen when they were locked up. I’ve had 3 rentals broken into and all of my tools stolen while I was doing make readies. I keep my head down. I do my due diligence to keep things locked up. There is a LOT of drug use here, which means lots of crime. I do like Amarillo, but crime and weather are horrible.

[@aimeetorres323]

Crime is crazy, it smells like poop when the wind blows (which is insane every day), it’s dirty, there’s SO MUCH HOMELESSNESS AND DRUGGIES just roaming the streets. I wouldn’t choose here if I had a choice. Property taxes are also insane.

[@setha360]

Amarillo is my birth place, left in 1982 to join military, went back 1988-89, The city has some good people but the Crime is above average, high property taxes, only couple things to do, Riding dirt bikes canadian river, hiking in palo duro canyon or mc Brides, lake Meridith.

[@movingtoamarillotexas]

Appreciate the comment and agree with a lot of what you stated and I do see Amarillo having quite a lot to offer (depending on your hobbies and what part of the country you are from or favor). I’ve lived here for over 30 years (lived in Oregon 6) and I’m still surprised at the amount of activities we have access to here. Although, I do miss the mountains, rivers, ocean, etc all being within 2 hours! lol! Have a great day!

[@wesdoobner7521]

it's only really high crime by statistics, which counts a lot of stuff that won't happen to people that mind their own business and stay out of trouble. Like bar fights and shootings at 2am, or, sadly, lots of domestic violence. Other than stuff like that there is remarkably little crime. Your chances of being robbed on the street are like a zillion to one, day or night.

[@gardensofthegods]

Do they have any cults there that you are aware of ? The reason I ask is I got to spend about 3 weeks with someone from Amarillo and even though they said they loved art and jazz music and classical music oddly enough they didn't seem to know much about art or jazz or classical music . I had the impression that at some point in his life he lived on like a group work farm or some kind of a cult ... i don't know how to explain it but do you know of any places like that out there ?

I know most places are like this, but crime has increased over the last several years.

About the wind, sure it kicks up dust, but I've had less sinus problems then when I've lived in the Dallas area. Other pros are: - It's easy to get to places.

Amarillo isn’t what it’s cracked up to be! It’s definitely a divided city. The North Side is highly neglected. Going from the South to the North Side is like going to a completely different city. Damn, near like going to a 3rd world country. Of course the North Side is predominantly black. The City hasn’t done anything to upgrade and beautify this area. The East Side is striving with new constructions and businesses. The cops target minorities. This isn’t what I’ve heard just actually what I’ve experienced.Being followed and harassed for being a black man driving a nice car. Yea, sad stuff right? I’m going to share the nickname for the panhandle “klanhandle”! You’ll rarely see any black people holding any top jobs here. The “good ol’ boy” system is in full effect. No opportunities for blacks regardless if you have a degree or a stellar resume. Speaking to the any blacks that’s considering moving here. Please, reconsider.

While I'm all for new growth, the past Queen Bee mayor and her regime almost destroyed this city. To all those looking at Amarillo that you might move here we have a different mayor and council that's slowly undoing what Democrat rule did to this city for almost a decade and existing crime is a result of that because of disrespect to fire in police. I'm all for government staying out of our business but I'm also for regulations that will get these property owners to tear down abandoned buildings. That's been a mainstay my whole life that I've lived here. Only thing I disagree with you on is our schools. Academically we need to do better compared to the rest of the state and our athletics are ran by the same good ol boys that have no foresight or innovation to improve and be better at competition. If we're going to spend the money we need to do it right. I've said this for years and will keep saying it, Amarillo has too many high schools and our student athletes in football deserve better than playing in an outdated stadium.

Amarillo is ok, shitty town quality of life wise which is reflected in home prices. However, gas is CHEAP here and we are 4 hoirs feom abq or santa fe, and 5 hours frpm denver, and 5 hours feom lots of skiing. Also commutes are vwry short. So save your faily comute time qnd commute to the rickies ir decent lakes on the weekeend.

It’s a lie. Denver is further than 5 hours. Google says almost 7 hours to Denver.

@YellowCityMom Where i'm sitting, it's five hours and fifteen minutes with the time change. Also, I drive about ninety miles an hour, so yea..

If they gave me 6 months to live, I'd move to Amarillo. I wouldn't live any longer, but it would sure seem that way.🥱
