Far East

About

Far East El Paso is experiencing explosive growth. Suburbia is pushing east into the desert plains and is filling with folks looking for newer homes and a quieter pace. Shopping is currently sparse, but East El Paso and all the shopping, dining, entertainment, and events it has to offer are close at hand. Modern home designs, eco-friendly building practices, and smart neighborhood planning paired with affordability are big draws for a lot of military families.

Neighbors

There are a lot of military families and new transplants to El Paso that settle down in Far East. Since the area is so new, you probably won’t find any homesteads or locals with super deep roots.

Neighborhood Feel

Development in Far East has been happening over the last 10 years, so if you ask anyone that’s been stationed there before, they may not even know what you’re talking about! Far East has a high-end feel to it, but the homes are very affordable. Yards are either “rock scaped” or some have young trees and shrubbery. There’s a lot of effort being made to create a very safe, family-friendly environment with parks, sports fields, wide sidewalks, and well-lit streets.

Things to Consider

This is one of those areas where a sigh always precedes the recommendation. By El Paso standards, it’s considered to be pretty far away. The commute to Fort Bliss is going to be much longer and you’ll have to navigate through the hectic East El Paso traffic to go to and from work. FAR is in its name, so don’t say we didn’t warn you!

As of now, Far East is primarily residential so expect to travel into East El Paso for shopping and your day-to-day needs. There is certainly space and demand for more retailers and restaurants, so we expect to see this area change over the next few years.
