Canyon still small town but Growing fast - 6/5/2018
Have lived in Canyon for over 15 years. Planned on making this our retirement home 12 years before we actually moved here and don't plan on ever leaving. City is growing fast and downtown & around WTAMU / 4th & 23 can get gridlocked with traffic, especially during the school year. Hopefully the development north and west of town will help reduce some of the congestion. The less you have to go through downtown the better.

A nice little town - 9/4/2008
I moved here from Northern California to go to West Texas A&M. The town is "dry" (doesn't sell alcohol in the city limits), so there are no bars. Not a whole lot of traffic, and Amarillo is a short ten minute drive. Many of the buildings and businesses are older, giving Canyon a historic feel. As far as rentals go, there's not much above lower end apartment complexes, and some of the homes for rent are substandard. The cost of living is low, but I think people would be willing to pay a bit more for nicer homes and apartments. The town doesn't really feel like a college town; it's so quiet. Just a mile or so south of the University the landscape returns to countryside (like all the outer sections) and the wide, flat view is actually very pretty.
Compared to California, the people are nicer and more neighborly, traffic is lighter and less aggressive. The pace of life is just slower. For some, that might equal boring. There's not a lot to do in Canyon, and not much more to do in
