Location and Lifestyle

El Paso’s warm, sunny climate and Franklin Mountains provide the backdrop of a young, culturally diverse population which shares a rich heritage that embraces the past and builds the city’s future. El Pasoans have the luxury of big city amenities without big city hassles. A high quality of life is provided by affordable housing, low crime rates and minimal traffic congestion on major thoroughfares and interstate highways. Texas’ western corner along the sparkling shores of the Rio Grande, El Paso boasts a different feel than its eastern counterparts. A true melting pot of American and Mexican culture, the combination is noticeable everywhere. While this fusion of cultures draws some, the rock climbers who descend on El Paso have only one thing in mind: scaling the massive boulders of Hueco Tanks State Park. Those who prefer the ground can wander through the park’s interpretive center and see ancient Indian pictographs. Other popular El Paso pastimes include golf, mountain biking and our personal favorite, stargazing.
