El Paso Metro and Neighborhood Information

Often referred to as the Boot Capital of the world, El Paso is located at the western tip of Texas, where New Mexico and Old Mexico meet. From the historic Old West to the heritage of Native Americans and the beauty of the desert sun, the city seamlessly blends cultures and traditions together.

El Paso is often considered the birthplace of America's Southwest, and residents treasure the area's historic roots. Even today, people continue to attend church in the city's old Spanish missions on the historic Mission Trail built by Native Americans in the late 17th century. The area was also home to famous outlaws including Pancho Villa, John Wesley Hardin and Billy the Kid.

The high mountains, which cut through the middle of the city, offer a dramatic setting for residents and visitors alike. Visitors can ride the Wyler Aerial Tramway to Ranger Peak to get a panoramic view of the city, or drive along Transmountain Road which cuts right through the Franklin Mountains. Locals also enjoy picnicking at Franklin Mountains State Park, which is considered one of the largest urban parks in the country. For outdoor explorers, there's plenty of mountain biking, hiking and rock climbing virtually any time of the year.

Mexican influences

With Juarez, Mexico just across the border, living in El Paso is like being in two destinations at once. You can easily have breakfast in El Paso and lunch in Mexico. It's easy to catch a trolley from Downtown El Paso and tour Juarez's shopping hot spots. Enjoy an ice cold Margarita — which was invented in one of Juarez's bars — or dine in one of many of the city's elaborately upscale restaurants or dance clubs. Mexico's rich traditions of bullfights, greyhound racing, mariachis and colorful dances can be experienced throughout the neighboring city.

The Mexican influences are also reflected in many of El Paso's Spanish-style homes. From the red-tiled roofs to the vibrant earthy facades, the median home price in the city is $134,000.

While various cities across the country are experiencing overdevelopment, El Paso's natural beauty is a rarity in today's world. During the day, the mountains take on shades of purple, vibrant orange and pale green. The sun shines over 305 days a year in El Paso. Wide-open vistas, big skies and beautiful desert weather are the norm, and almost every day ends with a breathtaking sunset. So begin your El Paso real estate search today!
