Where to Live In El Paso Texas | 2022

[@IsaccLightbournELPASOREALTOR]

I love your pros and cons of central. Great video, John !

[@ChrisMando]

Great video and sticking it to the facts about each of these areas. Wish you may have included Mission Valley/Lower Valley, definitely an area that's unique from everything else though.

[@rosiodeleon6975]

Lol don’t tell them about our side of town or our rent and housing will go up 😅 The lower valley and mission valley bad. East and west side good.

[@ChrisMando]

@@rosiodeleon6975 the valley unfortunately like the northeast has fewer amenities and and is actually less accessible. Also doesn’t really have too much of the glitz that the west and east sides have but definitely is more historic and has its own charm. I don’t think it’s likely that property rates would be affected all that much

[@sandrapinedo3952]

Great video John! Thank you for your work👌👍

[@Dragon_rls]

I'm not in the market for a home in El Paso, but I do have to compliment your video making skills. I do miss El Paso, but I am vested here, clear on the east side of I-10 (actually, about 40 minutes east of the beginning of I-10). Great videos. Thanks for helping me to revive some good memories.

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@ulrichschnier307]

Been living at the East Side mid to end 1990's. Loved everything about it.

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

That's great to hear!

[@finaukamimoto2158]

I will be moving to El Paso in 6 months and will need ideas and help of where to buy a home.

[@reinerbraun8908]

Eastside ❤️ that includes upper middle far or horizon

[@mayragarcia3528]

You should check our Cartway Ln neighborhood by Eastwood HS for a nice Christmas light show any night in December ☃️ highly recommended for the channel

[@arielsanchez2072]

Sure makes me want to check out El Paso. I’m in Dallas area.

[@justincameron9661]

I live in west El Paso and pay $601 a month in rent fir an apartment. All utilities included, fully furnished, cable and 2 pools

[@atexan969]

Right? The misconception of the westside being out of reach in price point is incorrect. It is very comparable with other sides of town. It is based on the size of home and condition of home

[@RainettaJones]

I'm moving there n need some information

[@justincameron9661]

@@RainettaJones its called the visa sol apartments. Its on mesa street

[@cabral_del_elpaso]

Thank you! I brainstorm to buy a house in the next five or ten years.

I live in West El Paso when I hear the train weekly if not every day, the train that runs alongside Doniphan.

[@terraGaliciaXXIV]

Hi John, what is the starting price for a nice 3/2 in an area with mountain views? I would like a backyard with privacy and with views. I’ve heard about the Cimarron Hills that might fit the bill

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

Cimarron Canyon is really nice but pricey…300k and up.

@@LivingInElPasoTexas wow is that is pricy I need to move to El Paso

[@franciscoortiz9730]

My wife and big dog family are looking into el paso, what area should we look to get a little bit of a larger yard and kinda private.

[@DavidOrdonezRE]

Great info. What about the Mission Valley area. Would you consider as East El Paso?

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

That area is also called the lower valley, we've got a video on that area.

[@azahel1975]

You were not in a home "10 minutes ago" when the video is at the 13:25 mark...although, a very informative video.

[@rauljasso9897]

Do you also offer help for ppl thinking on moving to El Paso looking for a good rental?

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

Sorry Raul, we do not handle rentals I’m afraid.

[@nicholastrusty9895]

What area would you recommend for 20+ acres of land to potentially build 2 homes? Or an existing property of that sort?

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

That’s tricky because the majority of undeveloped land around El Paso does not have any infrastructure or utilities. You would pretty much be living off grid or you’re going to lay a lot for that 20 acres. Email me at [e-mail]

[@nicholastrusty9895]

@@LivingInElPasoTexas sweet, I shot you an email!Tthanks for the response and excellent videos! I’m potentially looking at getting out of the army in 22 months in order to follow my dream in being in real estate full time.

Dutch Bros!! 👀😋💙

[@richardsalinas_28]

I love Dutch Bros Coffee!!

Every time I drive past that there's a line going 30 deep or so I don't get it what's so special about this coffee you got to wait in line that long?

[@richardsalinas_28]

@@ajossi i guess if you really wanna know you're going to have to get in that line.. Pretty good though and the size compared to a Starbucks is twice as big so more bang for your buck..

[@asferguson2010]

do you do real estate for apartment rentals too?

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

No I’m afraid not, sorry.

[@anitapaiz490]

I would live on the West Side or East Side. I just love El Paso ❤️

[@carolynmyers2222]

I like to know about Clint and the lower valley.

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

We do need to make a video of that area. I’d say it’s the least popular area for most home buyers.

[@davejarvis7522]

How many people live in metro El Paso. (just the US side)???

[@emilymcbride3634]

What about Socorro? I'm looking to relocate from San Diego to El Paso

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

Hi there Emily. I’d love to jump on a phone call to answer your questions.

[@rattenthakur6682]

John your video is very nice you are great man but I am some speak English

[@tinac103]

Northeast is the hood leave the hood alone we’re good here , you all move to the other parts of the city lol jk 🙋🏻‍♀️ born and raised in the Devil’s Triangle. 90’s were tough it was like a mini East LA growing up but it has calmed down a lot. But for those planning to move to the Northeast because housing maybe more affordable on this side of town it’s truly not bad aside for that very small patch, look into the North Hills , Mesquite or Coopers town area. And we truly have great views of the Mountains. If you like the Hispanic culture and food this is a great place to experience that. The local people are nice hospitality is big in our culture. I love my City I love our Culture ❤️

[@UniqquePerspective]

How is it for black single mothers?

[@T0moko2001]

Westside💙

[@homesteadnews]

Still looking for information on Clint, TX area? Are you considering that part of the Far East or Horizon City? Really want to hear what you have to say about the area. Thanks again, I will continue looking for your reply.

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

Hi there. Clint is not part of the greater El Paso area. It’s on the outskirts. Don’t be shy to give me a call at 915-355-3477 and we can discuss further if you like!

[@ajossi]

I wouldn't be looking forward to living downtown, that spells disaster to me. It always ends up being expensive and swanky but I reality it's just apartments and condos that are expensive and keep getting more expensive.

[@1223steffen]

Where in El Paso county is it best

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

Tough question, depends on what you want to be close too and budget if you’re looking for a home. Some might say the west side is the best side but Far East and Horizon City are pretty great suburbs.

[@richardsalinas_28]

Also i haven't seen El Paso on any recent safest city list in years. Can you go into detail on why or possibly show updated info on that issue. Side question,does elpaso have a homeless problem and what area if any?

[@Azarathify]

El Paso does not have a homeless issue. Probably because it's really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter.

[@RainettaJones]

OMG how cold?

[@nickyingtavorn5491]

great video thanks...thanks...so much John I'm just retire recently I just looking to buy small house for myself I.m single in the moment I'm just looking in south NM now you just giving me a chance to see EL Paso I have to checking it out see how,what to do in El Paso I might need your help in the future I got your E mail thanks...so much

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

Thanks Nick. Yes, please reach out whenever!

[@FrankRizzo7080]

Me and the wife will be moving to El Paso in a few years. After realizing that it’s a better option then Arizona for property. Just wondering where would a middle aged couple live with no kids?

[@LivingInElPasoTexas]

Hi Jim, if you don't want to be in the suburbs where the young families are, I'd say the west side is a great option and we have some great pockets that are centrally located like Kern Place, Manhattan Heights. Email me at [e-mail] if you'd like to talk specifics!

[@pattyg4421]

Jim Emerson, not El Paso. I left in 82 and do not regret it. Don’t get me wrong, EP is my hometown born and raised. Unless you are fluent in Spanish or you are Spanish there is no job for you. I tried in 2013. Not one job offer. Consider all your options.

[@FrankRizzo7080]

@@pattyg4421 that has crossed my mind. I’ll be staying downtown in October for a few days to check it out. The job thing isn’t a problem because we both work remote but I certainly don’t wanna be somewhere where’s there is a lot of discrimination going on. I was intrigued with El Paso because of the weather , real estate prices, and lower crime for a bigger city. I love Northwest Arizona but if you want a semi decent home ya gotta pay a lot $$$. I’m just sick of freezing lol. We aren’t even super old just turned 50 - so pretty flexible where we can live just as long as it’s warm and not horribly expensive. So patty, I’m open for any suggestions.

[@pattyg4421]

@Jim Emerson, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s your decision on where you move. Do your research on everything EP. I grew up on the East side. Eastwood area. Older homes but built very well. Second choice would be the west side. Not a lot to do there. You can drive 2 hrs and be in Ruidoso New Mexico. Winter you can snow ski. Beautiful place. There is also Whitesands in New Mexico. We used to go and sand surf. From 2007-2013, when visiting I did not feel safe. Thank goodness my parents finally left. Definitely do not cross over into Mexico. These real estate companies will tell you what you want to hear just to make a buck. Best wishes to you!

[@Skyvator92]

I actually left El Paso for Arizona. I've been much happier in Arizona than I was in El Paso. When I go back to visit, I'm always happy to be going back to Phoenix.

[@robertperez6414]

Interesting?

[@richardsalinas_28]

The border life video you did two weeks ago titled Border Life terrified me knowing how easy you can cross from El Paso into Mexico. I have kids and knowing they can get kidnapped and lost in Mexico with in mins scared me enough to not want to move there. Can you talk about the abduction rate in El Paso because i couldn't find to much info online please.

[@ll7165]

I've lived here all my life and have young kids. NEVER have I ever had to worry about my kids being kidnapped to Mexico. My biggest fear are random mass shootings that have occurred at stores like what happened in August 2019. Unfortunately, this happens all over the US. Millions of people live on both sides of the border. There are people who live in Juarez who come to work and school every day. There's billions of dollars worth of trade that goes on between the two countries. There's also a huge law enforcement presence: federal, state and local. In fact, one of the top employers here is being in law enforcement. Like it or not, some private citizens carry weapons on their person too. It's probably likely that there are more kidnappers, sex offenders and degenerates in the area where you live in than here.

[@elosogonzalez8739]

El Paso is a very nice city. No matter where you look there are deals available. My wife and I are looking to relocate there soon.

[@richardsalinas_28]

@@ll7165 you are the prime example of a simple close minded person with no sensibility of when a person is wholeheartedly asking a simple question seeking knowledge on a topic I'm interested in learning about. Are you just the bad apple or are all people from elpaso so offensive when asking a question? Not once did i mention El Paso having,degenerates,sex offenders,ect. Plus you don't know where i live so why assumptions of my home in Henderson NV being unsafe. We are statistically more safe then El Paso and was considering a new second home down there and was curious of Mr. Penas video he recently put out. John i love you but this guy in your comments really makes a bad impression on your city. I was going to ask you to possibly represent me as a buyers agent but I'm respectfully going to have to reconsider. My dearest apologizes and you and your wife have a fantastic rest of your day. As for the person who left the comment,seek anger management classes because i meant no ill will in my comment but some reason you got mad,& if you're like that on line.. I feel sorry for the ppl who have to put up with you in your everyday life.. Blessings to all...

[@ll7165]

@@richardsalinas_28 Whoa! My reply was not meant to upset you. And you are calling me sensitive? Not sure what your life is like, but hopefully you find some peace and wisdom. If you're that loyal to your community and take offense at it not being a utopia, then sorry if I offended you.

[@richardsalinas_28]

@@ll7165 Also it's nearly impossible to purchase a firearm legally in Mexico but you wanna mention the billions of dollars in trade.. We'll so you know im not just typing out of a hateful heart, you can tap the search bar on the top of your KZbin app or whatever other sources you decide to fact check my words on is fine with me because I have no desire to lie but facts are facts and since you can purchase a gun so easily in Texas and the Laredo borders is heavily more difficult to get into Mexico then El Paso. Guess What?90% of all firearms and ammunition go through the El Paso border into Mexico because it's so easy there. There is a documentary on KZbin where a married couple,the wife whom works on the Mexico side & her husband on the El Paso side whom lets major trafficking go on. After watching multiple videos exactly like that one plus John Penas video from 2 weeks ago.. Why wouldn't i ask the simple question of Mr. Pena to elaborate on the subject at hand of abduction in El Paso.. Sorry for having to explain so much but you just didn't seem to be aware of the problem. Do the research then come back and comment in a couple days. What you don't give your attention to,your probably not aware of. But now that you are go head delete your angry comment and go learn something new about your city you lived in for so long because you're making the rest of your El Paso look a tad bit.. Well just say it's not a good look,to be respectful nice on here...

Our pollution can get awful though (yellow smog coming from Juarez is pretty common). They burn tires over there and unfortunately the wind brings it to us.
