Amarillo

Amarillo, Texas is a vibrant city of around 204,000 people, serving as the economic and cultural hub of the Texas Panhandle. Originally a key cattle trading post thanks to the railroad, Amarillo has evolved into a diverse center with a strong industrial base – notably as a major meat-packing location and home to the nation’s only nuclear weapons facility, Pantex. This history contributes to the city’s unique, no-nonsense character.

Known historically as the “Helium Capital of the World” and nicknamed “Rotor City, USA” due to its aircraft manufacturing, Amarillo offers a practical and affordable base for digital nomads. While situated in the vast Llano Estacado region, the city provides all essential amenities and a distinctly Texan atmosphere. Expect a straightforward, hardworking vibe and a lower cost of living than many other Texas cities.
