About the Community
El Paso sits at the westernmost tip of Texas, nestled against the Franklin Mountains and the Rio Grande — a city of nearly 700,000 with a rich bicultural character, year-round sunshine, and some of the most affordable housing of any major U.S. metro. Outdoor enthusiasts have immediate access to Franklin Mountains State Park, Hueco Tanks, and the Chihuahuan Desert, while the city's vibrant food scene, arts community, and proximity to both New Mexico and the Ciudad Juárez metropolitan area give it a distinctly cosmopolitan feel at a fraction of the cost of larger Texas markets.
