Overview of Oakmont (Neighborhood in Lubbock )
Oakmont is the neighborhood everyone notices. The houses are legit stunning. You can see right away that people take care of their yards and homes. There is an HOA, which keeps things tidy and consistent — and honestly, for most folks that is a win.
Price ranges in Oakmont vary. While you can find smaller, more affordable homes in the community, the area also features properties in the high sixes and sevens and multi-million dollar estates for buyers who want the top tier. If you have the means to drop a fat bag on a crib, Oakmont is where you’ll want to look.
Oakmont vs Nearby Lubbock Neighborhoods
One thing I love about Oakmont is that it borders Vintage Township. Vintage is a more affordable, townhome-style neighborhood that still looks great and is very livable. So you get the best of both worlds: Oakmont’s exclusivity and a nearby more budget-friendly option. Vintage’s smaller lots and lower-maintenance homes make it a perfect fit for first-time buyers, young professionals, or anyone who wants to downsize without leaving the area. The two neighborhoods share the same convenient access to shops, restaurants, and good schools, so living in Vintage still puts you close to the things people move to Oakmont for — quiet, well-kept streets, mature landscaping, and a strong community feel. It’s also a smart long-term plan: start in a more modest townhome in Vintage, enjoy the neighborhood perks, and move up to Oakmont when the time is right.
Inside a $575,000 Garden Home in Oakmont, Lubbock, TX
We toured a garden home listed at $575,000 — one of the more attainable options inside Oakmont. It’s a three-bedroom, three-bath garden home that punches way above its price with designer touches and solid finishes. If you are looking for a low-maintenance property in a top neighborhood, this is the kind of home to consider.
Living Area and Kitchen Highlights
The living area is roomy enough for an L-shaped couch and has these beautiful wooden cathedral beams that give the space character. The kitchen is a showstopper: a big granite island that anchors the room, tons of counter space, and best of all — a gas stove. I hear a lot of people prefer gas over electric, and this one delivers.
The pantry is a practical bonus — stack your wine or pantry staples and keep the counters clutter-free. Yes, you do not need to be an oenophile to appreciate a dedicated wine space.
Dining Room and Unique Finishes
The formal dining area features a textured wall that I love. It’s like someone spread plaster in a sculptural way — a subtle, tactile finish that adds personality without being loud. This room would be perfect for family dinners or hosting friends for a cozy evening.
Bedrooms, Baths, and Flexible Spaces
This home has three bedrooms and three baths. One bedroom has an arched ceiling that makes it feel special — a great candidate for an office if you work from home. Honestly, I would use it as an office. Since I am not married yet, I keep my spaces flexible, and this one screams office to me.
The bathrooms are practical and well-appointed. There is a full bath with a bathtub and another bathroom with a sit-down shower — ideal for those lazy mornings when you want to sit and think. The layout makes sense and flows well from room to room.
Backyard and Outdoor Living
Garden homes are sometimes criticized because the neighboring wall is close, but I honestly like the snug, cozy feeling. The backyard has a lot of length — enough room to run sprints, add a garden, or set up a comfortable outdoor seating area with a TV. For someone who values low-maintenance living and outdoor comfort, this backyard is a win.
Master Bedroom and Laundry
The master bedroom connects right out to the backyard and the home includes a practical laundry room with a sink. Small details like exposed beams and tasteful trim keep the home feeling elevated without being over the top. These finishes speak to the attention to detail you find in Oakmont properties.
Why Oakmont, Lubbock Feels Special
Oakmont delivers on a few fronts:
- Well-maintained yards and consistent curb appeal thanks to the HOA
- High-end finishes and thoughtful designs in many homes
- Secluded, green streets with mature trees and fescue lawns
- Range of housing options — garden homes up to multi-million dollar estates
Home Price Ranges in Oakmont Lubbock TX

Keep the HOA in mind when budgeting. For many buyers, the trade-off is worth it for the neighborhood consistency and maintenance standards.
