What your Remington Park home is worth
A value built from the homes buyers will actually compare yours to, not an online guess.
What drives Remington Park home values
Remington Park home values come down to condition, updates and usable space. The homes are primarily single-family on tree-lined streets, and they aren't the newest in town. That puts the focus on how each one has been kept. A well-kept, updated home and a similar one with original finishes can differ a good deal in price.
Buyers here compare carefully. First- and second-time buyers and move-up buyers watching value will know the recent sales. A useful value has to hold up against the same comparisons they'll make.
Online estimates can't see inside your home. They don't know about a new roof, an updated kitchen or a floor plan that uses its space well, and they can't tell which sales a buyer would actually compare to yours.
How Shelby Cotton values a Remington Park home
I'm Shelby Cotton, a REALTOR® with eXp Realty, LLC in Lubbock. I start with evidence. I look at recent sales of homes that match yours in size, condition and updates, the listings you'd compete with today and homes nearby that haven't sold and why.
Then I look at what the numbers miss. My background in architecture, civil design and subdivision planning helps me judge how well a floor plan uses its square footage, how the lot drains and what the roof and systems will ask of the next owner. In a value-driven neighborhood, those details move the price.
You'll get a value range with the reasoning laid out plainly. If you're thinking about selling, we'll also talk about which repairs would pay and which wouldn't.
What your Remington Park valuation includes
- Comparisons matched on condition. Updated homes with updated homes, original with original.
- Usable space. How well your floor plan works, not only its total square footage.
- Systems and structure. Roof, heating and cooling, water heater and foundation, and how buyers will price them.
- A value range with reasons. The evidence behind the numbers, laid out plainly.
- No obligation. Useful whether you sell soon, later or not at all.
If you sell, the value becomes the first step of a pricing strategy. See how I price a home.
What moves value up or down in Remington Park
Updates. Kitchens, bathrooms and flooring separate homes of the same size more than anything else.
Systems. A newer roof or heating and cooling system is worth real money to a buyer doing the math on future costs.
Usable space. A floor plan that makes the most of its square footage sells better than one that loses space to halls and awkward rooms.
Position. Proximity to the park and lake, the character of the street and distance from busier roads all play a part.
Care. Value-minded buyers read condition closely. A home that shows it's been maintained can earn their confidence and a stronger offer.
Small projects that protect your value
If you're a year or two from selling, a few steady projects can protect your number. Keep up with maintenance on the roof and systems, and keep records of what you do. Repair small leaks and drainage problems before they become big ones. Trim trees back from the roof.
The park and lake deserve a word, because they're part of what buyers find appealing here. A home with a view of the water or a short walk to the park can appeal to buyers who want that open space close by. Where there are enough similar sales, I'll show you how position near the park has shown up in prices. Where there aren't, I'll explain the judgment behind my adjustment.
Save bigger updates for when you know they'll pay. I'll help you decide which ones buyers in Remington Park will reward, so you're not spending money the sale won't return. For comparison across the city, see Uptown West home values or my overview of Lubbock home values.
What to have ready for the visit
A short list of facts makes your valuation sharper. Note the year you bought the home and the major work done since: roof, heating and cooling, water heater, windows, flooring, kitchen and bathrooms. Receipts or contractor names help if you have them.
Point out anything you know needs attention, from a slow drain to a crack you've been watching. None of it will surprise me, and knowing early lets us decide whether to fix it or account for it in the price.
Finally, tell me why you're asking. A value for a sale this season and a value for planning next year serve different purposes, and I'll prepare the one that fits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is my Remington Park home worth?
It depends mostly on condition, updates and how well the home uses its space, compared with the homes buyers will weigh it against. I'll prepare a value range with the reasoning, with no obligation.
Do updates raise Remington Park home values?
The right ones do. Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and newer systems separate homes of similar size, but not every update returns what it costs.
Why doesn't my online estimate match?
Online tools can't see your updates, your systems or your floor plan, and they can't tell which sales a buyer would actually compare to yours.
Remington Park
What home value looks like in Remington Park
Established, convenient, approachable, and surprisingly well positioned.
- The homes
- Primarily single-family homes on tree-lined streets, traditional ranch-style and newer-traditional. Median year built around 1995, so largely 1990s-era housing.
- Why people choose it
- First- and second-time buyers, move-up buyers watching value closely, and relocating buyers wanting convenient access to the rest of the city.
- Schools people ask about
- Whiteside Elementary, Irons Middle School and Coronado High School are commonly associated with Remington Park. Verify boundaries for each address.
- Getting around
- Southwest Lubbock near Loop 289. Reference points: Slide Road, 73rd Street, Loop 289 and Remington Park itself. Loop 289 makes much of the city reachable without a long cross-town commute.
- Nearby
- A neighborhood park and lake; the South Plains Mall and nearby commercial area.
- The trade-off
- Location, usable square footage and value over owning the newest house. Sellers compete with both older southwest Lubbock homes and newer construction; a dated home priced close to newer options loses ground.
