Sitting in the Permian Basin of West Texas, Andrews County is oil country. The county seat, Andrews, has grown steadily with the energy industry and offers a mix of modest mid-century homes, newer subdivisions, and some higher-end properties tied to oil wealth. Historically, the area was sparsely settled ranchland until oil discoveries in the 1930s spurred development. The county remains rural-to-suburban, with Andrews as the primary hub. Odessa and Midland, both about 35–45 minutes away, serve as the nearest major cities. Housing options lean toward brick ranch houses, newer tract homes, and land with manufactured housing. Prices are typically $180,000–$300,000 for single-family homes, though undeveloped lots outside town remain more affordable for custom building.
