Review of El Paso, Texas


LOW cost of living????
Star Rating - 6/18/2012
My boyfriend and I are researching to see where we want to move to and one article says that El Paso is one of the most overpriced cities in the US, but this page is saying its cost of living is low. Also, when we do apartment searches, everything is high-priced. Where is the LOW???

You might want to check out Boise Idaho because I found a lot of place to rent and its very reasonable rate. I used to live in EL Paso and I hated it because its very boring and not pretty at all. Its a very plain Jane city and not very green and its very yellow and brown. The mountains are very nice to go to in New Mexico and only 100 miles away going northeast but that about it. You may not like EL Paso at all or you might like EL Paso for some reason but most likely you won't like EL Paso. Check out Boise in Idaho and Eagle,Boise City near Boise. Idaho is very beautiful place with lots of mountains with forests north of Boise and very comfortable weather during summer. Its a little cold in winter in Idaho but its gets 300 days of sunshine in Boise. Boise is a very beautiful city because its clean and neat looking and their unemployee rate is low. Boise may be a little far but its worth to check it out and much better than EL Paso and I am thinking about moving to Boise Idaho to get away from hot and humid weather here in Texas and to do more fun things outdoor while can't do anything outside here in Texas because of the extreme heat.
