West Side

The West side of El Paso is the go to place for residents who are looking to live near the mountain, mall and the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). This part of the city has a lot more restaurants and some of the apartments are even right next to the mountain.

The best part of the west side area is Scenic Drive. Scenic Drive is located along the edge of the Franklin Mountains where the oldest and prestigious homes are located. These homes and the view of the city make it the most admired part of the city. This location is also frequented by most residents and tourists who want to take photos of the city or get in a great workout whether it is on bike or on foot.

Another great neighborhood to live in would be Kern Place which is minutes away from Scenic. This historic neighborhood is east of UTEP and north of Downtown. A lot of the houses at Kern Place were even built by the residents which contributed to their unique architecture. What is also great about this area is that it is part of the Cincinnati Entertainment District which includes a lot of bars and restaurants.

Downtown

If you’re looking to stay away from the suburban lifestyle and love the hustle and bustle of a city then downtown is your perfect home.
