5 Things to Know Before Moving to El Paso | Pros and Cons of Living in El Paso Texas

[@jcfgurl]

I used to live there and have been thinking about moving back. You talking about the food makes me wanna drive the 12hrs to get some real Mexican food.

[@audreyaspearman]

wow you are a real one to even think about the drive for food. 🙌🏾😂 which restaurant would you visit first? 🤔 Janay, I’d love to ask you a few Q’s about your EP experience would it be okay to hop on a call?

[@alifetime360]

I just moved back after being away for 27 years. The east side has blown up! The northeast has changed some but still looks mostly the same. Love this.

This video made me feel better. I’m a Cali girl born and raised. My husband got an offer of a life time at Amazon in El Paso and I am still terrified about moving.

[@audreyaspearman]

I love this video made you feel better. How soon are you and your husband moving here? What are you terrified about? moving from Cali in general or coming to a completely new place? Please stay tuned I am uploading more videos about El Paso.

@@riversoflivingwater3831 omg that is so understandable, I would feel exactly like you. But you are so brave❤️ I think once you get settled you will love it. Do you do any outdoor activities?

[@efraincorpus8777]

Im from Santa Cruz, Ca. I moved here 6 months ago, I love it. Its what you make of it out here, lots of things to do. The people are great, the only bad things I see out here is drivers don't have common courtesy. The food is okay, I've had better, The real mexican food is across the border in Juarez. The people are so chill, that im like move move move (coming from a faster city) overall, I think you'll enjoy it out here. I live on the Eastside right now but eventually would like to buy on the West Side.

[@JRMcDowell]

Just kinda SKIPPED over jobs there.. sure you mentioned a couple companies moving or moved there, but not how hard it is to find employment that pays a living wage. I was born and raised in El Paso, Lived there for over 40 years. You were not wrong about anything, and seemed to be quite fair in your assessment, good job.

[@audreyaspearman]

J.R. Thank you for watching, and you’re right about employment. Maybe I should make another video addressing that. I went to UTEP here and a lot of the best and brightest move out due to this issue. 🙏🏾 thanks for watching

Hi can you tell me what parts of El paso floods and gets snow. Also what areas have the new construction homes. I was told on the west side they have new communities and is a good area. Looking to buy a home.

[@audreyaspearman]

Hi, As far as flooding it’s mostly the older parts of the city but it doesn’t flood often. Also new construction is all around the city on the Far East, West, and North East. Email me or call me so I can ask you a few questions so that I am better able to assist you about which area may be best. Looking forward to our chat. 👍

Oof. Home prices are up, you can still find some in the 200,000 range, but the nicer, larger, or custom floor plans can be as high as 500,000 to 800,000 this year 2024. If you are planning to move down from someplace that already has extremely expensive homes, you should be fine. (California, Atlanta, New York). Otherwise, plan on renting or finding a smaller floor plan for the price points listed in the video.

Audrey....we welcome you as a transplant. Thank you for staying here. However, please stop advertising to other states. You RE agents need to quit it. With the wages being so low in El Paso and all the people moving here from other states and bringing their wealth, it's going to be a shit show for El Pasoans to compete when it comes to renting/buying homes. Also, Tex Mex is its own type of food. It's not lesser than Mexican. Just different. Keep in mind that Texas was its own country for a short while. Many people lived in Texas. Blacks, Mexicans, and whites and with that, you could say that Tex Mex is the original style of cuisine in Texas. I've traveled through much of Mexico and let me tell you, Mexican cuisine is usually borrowed from one Mexican state to another. There's no one way to cook or dress Mexican food.

I am a former realtor/investor and have bought/sold numerous properties in 3 different states and have found El Paso Realtors to be the absolute worst. Any Realtor from outside El Paso could absolutely run circles around these incompetents.

Suprised at your comment that El Paso has more women than men. Seems very counter-intuitive knowing the largest single employer is the US Army which has a much higher % of men than women. Have you gotten this data from official demographic reports, or is this a hunch based upon your personal exposure to (or frustrations with) social media/dating sites?
