I'm retired and Crime rate is something to consider — Lubbock sits at 1,008.1 per 100K. Average temperature is around 64°F, so the weather is moderate. Rent is about $1,137/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $197,900, which is actually reasonable. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Should I be concerned? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
