Located along the Milwaukee Corridor, between 66th street and 82nd street, Bacon Crest and Primrose Pointe offer you excellent choices for your new home. Bacon Crest has been growing since 2005 and now contains nearly 150 new homes. Bacon Crest has been honored TWICE by the West Texas Homebuilders Association, in that it was chosen as a Parade of Home site in 2008, and again for 2010.  Prices run in the $250,000.00 range and you get A LOT of house for your money in Lubbock, Texas! This development is named for the pioneer Bacon Family that ran cattle on this land from around 1930. Their old family mansion is still located on Broadway near Avenue Q.

Primrose Pointe is on the west side of Milwaukee adjacent to Frenship ISD’s NEWEST school, Oak Ridge Elementary. Primrose can be entered from Milwaukee Avenue from either 68th or 70th street and features beautiful homes from FOUR of Lubbock’s best known builders - David Rogers Homes, Kim Craig Construction, Art Cuevas Construction and Royal Homes. These homes are in the $160-225,000.00 price range.

There are about 540 acres in the project. When completed, there will be about 1,000 single family homes, a number of multi-family dwellings, a city park, and numerous businesses. Many businesses have built or will be building along 82nd street and on Milwaukee. All the popular fast-food restaurants are represented (McDonalds, Burger King, What-a-Burger, Taco Bell, Taco Villa, Double Dave’s, Pedro’s Tamales, Baskin-Robbins, and Der Wienerschnitzel) are within a minute or so and others (Rosas, Cracker Barrel, and Starbucks) are just north across the Marsha Sharp Freeway on Milwaukee. Canyon West Shopping Center (Lubbock’s newest Mall) is also just across the Marsha Sharp Freeway and offers many exciting stores including Target, World Market, Petsmart, and a high-tech entertainment center, Main Event.

Cascada Office Park is growing rapidly and is quickly becoming a southwest Lubbock Medical Center, featuring several dentists offices, Lubbock Urology Clinic, Physical Therapy Today, and even an insurance agency! O'Reilly’s Auto Parts is just west of Cascada. Walgreens is in operation on the north east corner of 82nd and Milwaukee and Comet Cleaners and the Sleep Shop have purchased land north of Walgreens on Milwaukee. Milwaukee opened in the spring of 2006 and ties the entire western part of Lubbock together with a north-south corridor. This project was an innovative concept spearheaded by former Councilman Tom Martin (now MAYOR Martin) in which the City of Lubbock got ahead of the curve and built this street in advance of the need. Most people familiar with this area feel that Milwaukee will immediately become the route of choice for north-south access.

Three phases of development are complete. The first phase is almost completely sold out as is the second phase. A few third phase lots remain (See Drawings for availability) along with a few lots in a luxury large lot area called the "Villas at Bacon Crest". This is one of the most sought after areas of Lubbock because of the Frenship School District and its proximity to 82nd Street, the Marsha Sharp Freeway, and Loop 289.

Frenship ISD has purchased a site for a new Middle School at 73rd and Iola and it is under construction and scheduled for opening in the Fall of 2011.

A fourth phase of 53 more lots is currently being built and will open in January of 2010; it will feature a variety of lot sizes that will still be affordably priced. This addition will “tie” all the phases together and will then lead into a fifth phase that will nestle right up to the new FISD MS.
