Odessa is proud of its academics, diverse industries, and historic replicas

Up-and-Coming Economy Affordable Texas

Primarily located in Ector County – with a small portion extended into Midland – the city of Odessa is an up-and-coming community of modern comforts. Situated above the Permian Basin, the driving force of its economy has always been oil. However, Odessa has been diversifying its industry into logistics with the opening of numerous distribution centers.

Just like their affordable apartments, residents enjoy the shopping opportunities at Music City Hall. The community takes pride in academics – it has three colleges! At Odessa College, you can tour a replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theater. And speaking of culture (and replicas), you’ll find England’s Stonehenge at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin campus.

With convenient access to Interstate 20, you can access nearby Midland in just minutes. Odessa is home to many great parks, schools, and modern comforts – so find your Odessa home today.
