About
Think of East El Paso as the city’s hub for shopping, entertainment and activity. It is easily the fastest growing and the largest area of El Paso. Its amenities, affordable homes, proximity to base, and reputable schools draw many military families to the area. This is where you’ll find your Super Target, pick up the in-laws from the airport, and hit the mall for back-to-school shopping. The rapid city pace isn’t for everyone, but some rave about the close proximity to Fort Bliss and city amenities. There are parks and green spaces in abundance and East El Paso boasts a serious concentration of name brand shopping.
As the city sprawls eastward, there is now a new designation for “Far East” that we should point out. Beyond the I-375 loop is where a lot of development is happening, and sometimes you’ll hear that lumped in with East El Paso. Generally speaking, it’s all “East” of the mountains, but for our purposes, “East El Paso” ends at I-375.
Neighbors
Your neighbors in El Paso are going to be working and middle-class, and you will definitely find a high density of military in the area.
Neighborhood Feel
The neighborhoods are fairly densely populated and well established. The homes vary in age from the 1950s to new construction. Lawns are flat and you’ll probably still see rockscaping, but in East El Paso you can actually maintain grass and trees! The farther east you go, the newer the homes and subdivisions. You’ll also find newer master planned communities just north of I-10, near the I-375 loop.
