Overview of Preston Manor in Wolfforth Texas
Preston Manor feels like the jewel of Wolfforth Texas. The neighborhood has a distinct layout: the biggest, most upscale houses ring the pond, then as you move away the lots get denser and homes drop a bit in square footage. Most homes are fairly new — think 2015 and up for the newer sections — but you will find pockets built earlier, especially closer to Frenship High School.
Architecturally, many of the homes lean toward a French country style. You will see everything from 3,000 square foot houses to sprawling 5,000 square foot estates. Builders still have open lots here, and Preston Manor often participates in the local Parade of Homes, so the neighborhood is still evolving.
Neighborhood Amenities That Stand Out in Preston Manor
Preston Manor is not just houses. The community amenities are a big reason people fall in love with this area of Wolfforth Texas.
- Clubhouse with large pool and splash area for kids — a real draw for families.
- Tennis courts that double as pickleball hotspots on weekends.
- A weight room at the community facility that folks use regularly.
- A dog park for pups and their people to socialize.
Yes, there is an HOA. You will pay towards these shared features, but that also helps maintain a consistent look across the neighborhood — no surprise color schemes or odd roof colors cropping up.
Nearby Venues and Local Flavor in Preston Manor
Right down the road is Everly Brooks, a wedding venue we drive by often. I have attended a few weddings there and it has been built out nicely since 2018. It adds a little charm to the area and is handy if you like local event spaces.
Preston Manor sits a comfortable 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Lubbock, which is what makes Wolfforth Texas so attractive — you get nicer, more affordable homes a short drive from the city. The commute keeps you close but still gives that slightly out-of-town feel.
Location, Schools, and Everyday Conveniences
Some practical notes about location:
- Frenship High School is immediately adjacent and is a big selling point for families.
- Bennett Elementary is nearby for younger kids.
- 82nd Street access puts you close to gas stations and growing retail options.
- There are modern rental townhome and quad-style communities within a short drive if you need rental options.
Around Preston Manor you still see a lot of open fields turning into new developments. That means construction and new roads in certain pockets, but also continued investment and growth for Wolfforth Texas.
Home Prices in Preston Manor and What to Expect
Price range is one of the most common questions I get. In Preston Manor you are typically looking at:
- Most homes landing between about 320,000 and 450,000.
- Higher-end or custom options pushing into the 475,000 to 550,000 range if you go all out.
- Very rarely will you find properties in the low 200s in this immediate pocket near the pond.
Square footage usually starts around 2,000 and goes well up depending on the lot. The nicest homes cluster around the pond, while older, smaller homes sit on the outer edges. If you want new construction and larger lots, this is a place to watch.
Who Should Consider Preston Manor in Wolfforth Texas
If you are looking in the 350,000 to 450,000 range and are okay being 10 minutes outside of Lubbock, Preston Manor should be high on your list. It appeals to families who want strong schools, people who enjoy neighborhood amenities like pools and courts, and buyers who want newer, stylish homes without being right in the city center.
I like these informal drives — a hat, a t-shirt, and honest observations about what life looks like here. Preston Manor mixes bougie curb appeal with practical amenities, and Wolfforth Texas continues to grow around it. If your priorities are space, a pool, good schools, and being a short drive from Lubbock, this neighborhood is worth seeing in person.
