On the New Mexico border, Parmer County is anchored by Farwell (the seat) and Friona. Established in 1876, it has always been a farming and ranching county, with dairy production now prominent. Today, it’s strongly rural, with Friona known as the “Cheeseburger Capital of Texas.” Housing stock is modest—frame homes, brick ranchers, and mobile homes—with limited newer construction. The nearest large city is Clovis, New Mexico (15 miles west), while Lubbock is 85 miles east. Prices are affordable: most homes cost $90,000–$160,000, while farmland sells $1,500–$3,500 per acre. Buyers are primarily farmers, ranchers, and those seeking low-cost Panhandle living.
