Ponderosa is a small, established community in Monahans, a West Texas city in Ward County. With 24 lots and a stable footprint since 1960, the park offers a quiet, tight-knit setting for all ages.
Located on W 2nd Street, the community sits in the heart of Monahans, putting residents near the city’s downtown area and local services. Monahans is a regional hub in the Permian Basin, with access to shopping, dining, and medical facilities within the immediate area. The city sits roughly 300 miles west of Dallas and about 100 miles north of Midland, making it a practical base for those working in or connected to the oil and gas industry or seeking small-town living in West Texas.
Utilities are handled straightforwardly-city water and sewer are provided, and trash pickup is included. Lot rent ranges from $450 to $750 monthly. The community’s paved streets and off-street parking provide basic infrastructure typical of established parks in the region. Given the hot, dry climate of West Texas, residents should expect intense summer heat and minimal rainfall.
Ponderosa is located in Climate Zone 2. A HOT-DRY climate is defined as a region that receives less than 20 inches (50 cm) of annual precipitation, and where the monthly average outdoor temperature remains above 45°F (7°C) throughout the year.
Knowing your area’s climate zone (as assigned by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building America Program into one of eight zones), can help you predict your heating and cooling needs. Humidity and temperature can of course vary, even by county.
The Building America HOT-DRY climate zone corresponds to the portions of IECC zones 2 and 3 in the dry category.
