About the Community
El Paso sits at the western tip of Texas along the Rio Grande, bordered by New Mexico to the north and the city of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico to the south — a genuinely bicultural metropolitan area of nearly 900,000 residents. The city offers a sunny, dry climate with over 300 days of sunshine per year, access to the Franklin Mountains State Park and Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and a cost of living well below the national average. Families benefit from a range of public and private school options, and the broader region's cultural richness, outdoor recreation, and proximity to both Albuquerque and the Texas Hill Country make El Paso a distinctive and underrated place to build a career and a life.
