The Neighborhood:

Prime South Abilene Location



Tucked into a quiet residential pocket of South Abilene, this home puts you minutes from everything the city has to offer while keeping you away from the noise. You're just 2 minutes from Grover Nelson Park for an easy morning walk, and 1–4 minutes from the Taylor County Expo Center, Abilene Zoo, and Dodge Jones Youth Sports Center — perfect if you're in town for a tournament, rodeo, livestock show, concert, or a family day out.



Foodies are in for a treat here. You're 1–2 minutes from Lytle Land & Cattle Company, a local favorite for chicken-fried steak, and about 7 minutes from the Beehive Restaurant, a downtown Abilene institution known for its steaks and prime rib (worth the wait on weekends). Several more standout spots — Copper Creek, Twisted Root, Cork and Pig Tavern — are all within a 10-minute drive.



History and culture lovers can head to Frontier Texas!, an award-winning interactive museum, or stroll the whimsical Adamson-Spalding Storybook Garden, both about 6–7 minutes away. Students, parents, and visitors of Abilene Christian University, McMurry University, and Hardin-Simmons University will find themselves 8–11 minutes from campus.



Flying in or out? Abilene Regional Airport is a quick 4-minute drive. Want to get outdoors? Abilene State Park is about a 40-minute trip south for hiking, camping, and swimming.



Whether you're here for a youth sports tournament, a college visit, or just passing through West Texas, this home puts you close to it all.
