Rogers: Parkside living near the heart of Andrews

About Rogers

Rogers feels anchored by its immediate access to Carter Park, the kind of central green space that turns into a daily landmark rather than a “destination.” You see it in the rhythm of the neighborhood: quick walks that loop back past the park, kids heading toward play time, and neighbors using the park edge as a natural meeting point. Within a short drive, Lakeside Park and Wetland Park add more options when you want a change of scenery, and Shafter's Trail gives locals a straightforward place to stretch their legs without leaving town.

The neighborhood fits neatly into the established grid of Andrews, surrounded by familiar names like Orchard, Underwood Park, and Cardinal. That closeness matters here because errands and after-school schedules stack up fast, and Rogers keeps you close to the everyday stops that make life easier. Porter's is the nearby grocery run when you’re keeping it simple, and coffee is never far, whether you’re grabbing a cup at CPL Rays Coffee or swinging by 7 Brew Coffee on a busier morning.

Housing in the 79714 area trends toward ownership, and it shows in how people maintain their properties and settle in. With a ZIP-area homeownership rate of 75.1% and an overall homeownership rate of 78.5%, Rogers reads as a place where people put down roots, keep up yards, and make updates over time instead of treating the neighborhood as a temporary stop. The median home value of $195,700 also positions Rogers as a realistic entry point for buyers who want proximity to parks, schools, and town services without feeling far from the center of Andrews.

Schools are part of the day-to-day geography here, with Andrews ISD campuses close enough that school drop-offs and activities don’t require a major commute. Andrews Middle is nearby for grades 06-08, and Andrews H S serves the main high school crowd, both close enough to keep weeknights manageable when sports, clubs, and tutoring get added to the calendar.

Rogers tends to attract residents who appreciate a neighborhood that runs on practical convenience—parks you’ll actually use, coffee and quick meals that are truly close, and a community feel that comes from long-term ownership rather than constant turnover.

Living in Rogers: routines built around parks, schools, and quick drives

Day-to-day life in Rogers often revolves around what’s closest and easiest, and Carter Park sets the tone. If you like getting outside without planning your whole afternoon around it, being able to pop over to the park is a genuine quality-of-life perk. When you want something a little different, Lakeside Park is close enough for a change of pace, and Wetland Park is a natural option when you’re looking for a quieter loop. For residents who prefer a simple workout outdoors, Shafter's Trail is nearby and easy to work into a weekday routine.

Homes in the 79714 ZIP lean heavily owner-occupied, with 75.1% of housing listed as owner-occupied and 20.6% renter-occupied across 7,153 housing units. That balance typically shows up in the streetscape—more long-term residents, fewer frequent move-outs, and the kind of gradual updating that happens when people stay put. With a median home value of $195,700, buyers often look here for a practical purchase that still feels connected to the center of Andrews rather than out on the edge.

For food and coffee, you’re not stuck with one option. CPL Rays Coffee and 7 Brew Coffee are both close when you need something quick, and Table Cafe works well for a slower meet-up. Dinner decisions are easy to make on the fly, with local standbys like La Hacienda and Tortas & More nearby, plus familiar chains like Buffalo Wild Wings, Pizza Hut, McAlister's Deli, and Dickey's Barbecue Pit when you’re feeding a group. When you want something more specific, places like La Mexicana, El Potrillo, and Mi Pueblo add to the regular rotation.

School routines are anchored by Andrews ISD, with several campuses within a short drive. Families commonly pair elementary years at Clearfork El for EE-01 or Devonian El for grades 02-03, then transition to Andrews Middle for grades 06-08. High school options include Andrews H S and the smaller Andrews Education Center, both carrying a B rating, which matters when you’re weighing campus fit and program needs.

Commuting patterns in the area are typically car-based, and the broader ZIP reflects that, with 85.1% of workers driving alone and only 3.7% working from home. In practice, that means Rogers residents tend to build their schedules around quick drives: a morning coffee run, a school drop-off, a stop at Porter's, and an evening at a gym like Jab House Fitness or Black Gold Health & Fitness without feeling like you’ve spent the whole day in the car. With a median age of 33 and 21.8% of the population under 18, the neighborhood energy often feels young—busy weekdays, active evenings, and weekends that revolve around parks, sports, and catching up over a casual meal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rogers

Is Rogers a good place to live?

Rogers works well for people who want an in-town Andrews routine built around parks, schools, and quick errands. Being right by Carter Park and close to Lakeside Park, Shafter's Trail, and the Andrews Splash Park makes it easy to get outside without a big drive. The 79714 area also leans strongly toward stability, with 75.1% of housing owner-occupied and an overall homeownership rate of 78.5%, which often translates into neighbors who stick around and take care of their homes. With a median home value of $195,700 and a median household income of $72,242, Rogers tends to feel practical and grounded rather than speculative.

Is Rogers safe?

Specific crime statistics weren’t provided, so it wouldn’t be accurate to label Rogers as “safe” or “unsafe” by the numbers. What can be said is that Rogers sits close to key public safety resources, including the Andrews County Sheriff's Office, Andrews Police Department, and the Andrews Volunteer Fire Department, all within a short drive. In day-to-day terms, that proximity can matter for response and visibility, and it’s common in neighborhoods with high homeownership—Rogers is at 78.5%—for residents to know who belongs on the street. If safety is a top priority, it’s smart to ask neighbors about their experience on the specific block you’re considering.

How are the schools in Rogers?

Rogers is served by Andrews ISD, with multiple campuses nearby, which makes school logistics easier for families. Andrews H S for grades 09-12 is close and carries a B rating, and the smaller Andrews Education Center (also grades 09-12) is nearby as well with a B rating. For middle school, Andrews Middle serves grades 06-08 and is close to the neighborhood. Elementary options include Clearfork El for EE-01 and Devonian El for grades 02-03, both nearby, along with Underwood El for grades 04-05. Because several campuses are within a short drive, families often have flexibility in managing drop-offs, activities, and after-school schedules.

What is the cost of living in Rogers?

No cost-of-living indices or Regional Price Parity (RPP) values were provided for Andrews, so it wouldn’t be accurate to explain how Rogers compares to the U.S. average using RPP where 100 equals the national benchmark. What we can quantify clearly is property tax. In Andrews, the city property tax rate is $0.1805 per $100 of valuation, the Andrews County rate is $0.3598 per $100, and Andrews ISD adds $0.8969 per $100. Together, the combined estimated property tax rate comes to $1.4372 per $100 valuation, which is a key ongoing cost to factor into a mortgage payment estimate on a median home value of $195,700. Beyond local taxes, Texas has no state income tax, which can help household budgets even when property taxes are a larger part of the overall picture. For other living costs like groceries, utilities, and housing-related services, general trends in Andrews tend to track what you’d expect in a smaller West Texas city, but specific index values weren’t provided here.
