About
Increased development in the northern reaches of West El Paso has prompted an independent area designation for the Northwest. The 375 Beltway and the retail shopping that has anchored around it has paved the way for growth in Northwest El Paso. The quiet pace of West El Paso continues on into Northwest, but with a fresher feel to it. There are enough amenities to satisfy most desires and necessities, and there are many options for those who prefer to patronize locally owned businesses. Expect to see many more retailers and restaurants focusing on the area around the loop as more people flee from hectic East El Paso.
Neighbors
Northwest is home to many military families and native El Pasoans, but mostly those who enjoy the outdoors and a slow-paced lifestyle. Affordable houses draw many new home buyers to the area and there is a lot growth here.
Neighborhood Feel
Neighborhoods in Northwest resemble most of the other El Paso neighborhoods. Adobe-style, stucco homes with terracotta-tiled roofs are surrounded by rockscaped yards. A key perk here is the stunning view of the Franklin Mountains. You’ll find a variety of older and new homes, most with retaining walls between the yards due to the changing topography. Home prices climb with the elevation as you approach the mountain from Interstate 10.
