Bushland

A friendly small-town community with Texas charm, open space living, and legendary high-school football spirit.

Bushland is a growing community in the Texas Panhandle located about 14 miles west of Amarillo along Interstate 40(formerly historic Route 66). It combines rural open-space living with easy access to city amenities — making it a popular choice for homebuyers who want acreage, community pride, and a quieter pace of life just outside Amarillo.

Community & Lifestyle

With a population of around 2,900–3,000 residents, Bushland has retained a close-knit, small-town atmosphere while seeing steady growth in housing and families moving to the area. Homes often feature larger lots and spacious yards, and the landscape is defined by wide Texas skies, open fields, and peaceful living.

Bushland’s location along I-40 makes commuting to Amarillo convenient while still offering the quiet, semi-rural lifestyle many residents enjoy. Local businesses, eateries, and community spots — including a coffee house, barbecue restaurant, and small shops — give the town a welcoming, hometown feel.

Education & High School Football Culture

Bushland is served by the Bushland Independent School District, which includes elementary through high school campuses with strong academic performance and supportive community involvement.
Bushland High School — home of the Falcons — is a central part of community life. The Falcons compete in UIL Class 3A Division 1 sports, including football, and games are a big deal locally, drawing families and neighbors together on Friday nights throughout the fall. Football and other high-school athletics are important traditions in town, fostering strong support, school spirit, and community pride.
