If you like small town living in close proximity to the big city, you'll absolutely love the wonderful community of Bushland, Texas. Bushland is one of Texas' best places to call home, offering a quiet, simple way of life with less than 200 residents in the entire town. And, best of all, it's situated away from the fast pace of the bigger city, but close enough to get a taste of big city life when you want it.
Bushland is 14 miles west of Amarillo, Texas in southwest Potter County. The town was originally 
established as a train stop in 1908 for the Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf Railroad. Afterward, farmers and ranchers began to flock to the area to settle into the new town.
Agriculture is still a large part of Bushland's main industry today. However, Bushland is also now home to the Conservation and Production Research Laboratory, a USDA certified agency established to research wind erosion on the Great Plains of the south.
Education in Bushland is great, too. There are both public and private schools offered. Public school is provided by the Bushland Independent School District, with one high school, one middle schoo, and one elementary school. Private school is provided by the Bushland First Baptist Church, which has also been leading the community's spiritual needs since the early 1900's.
The community offers many recreational opportunities. Bushland is full of parks and playgrounds that include picnic areas, ball fields, walking trails, party shelters, ponds and a community center. Anyone seeking larger attractions can travel the short distance to Amarillo for a huge amount of activities to keep everyone busy in their free time.
To put it plain and simple, Bushland is the perfect community for anyone seeking a simple life in a community with loyal residents. Bushland, Texas real estate is the place for you.
