A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE! -
4/2/2015I love living in El Paso. I know people who have lived here before have said it is boring and the people are rude but I disagree. There is so much to do now. Every weekend there is some activity and since the weather is so great year round there's always time to be out. Cost of living is strange. Rentals are very high priced but if you are in the market to buy a house the costs for that are very low. I paid $825/mo for a 3bd 2bth house in 2014. This year I just bought a 4bd 3bth house with 2000 sq ft for $135k. Yes some people are very rude but there are rude people everywhere. The city is very diverse culturally since we have Ft. Bliss. We have large Mexican, American, Asian and German communities, plus a few others. The zoo has improved, we have hiking trails, camping nearby, fishing, tons of parks. We have the El Paso Chihuahuas baseball, Rhinos hockey, UTEP. Broadway in El Paso, Movies in the Canyon, Shakespeare on the Rocks, Plaza Classics, Kidspalooza and so many outdoor music festivals. It does get hot here in the summer, over 100, so bring your sunscreen and a good hat.
