Real experiences from people who call El Paso home.
El Paso was an adjustment for me and my family. We moved here with young children in hopes to being able to build our family in a more calm environment. As for us coming from a fast paced city slowing down was difficult. But we have had great success growing along with the city. El Paso is a good family oriented community. We have enjoyed our time here.
If you are moving to El Paso from a larger state/city prepare for a big culture shock. Life moves slower here. Yes we are in TX but it's more like an extension of MX. The Mexican influence is strong here. Coming for the West Coast my experience with Mexican foods was different with the local foods. Emerge yourself in the Culture and Outdoor activities. Food is big here so running out of places to try will not be a problem. We have had plenty of construction happening around town but we can still say that traffic is decent. If you are from a big city you are used to 1-2 hrs at min. to commute. We can say that on a bad day getting straight across town could be about an hrs. drive. Ft.Bliss has access from most areas. The northeast is mostly known for the military housing and easier access to the Old William Beaumont hospital. With so much growth on base we don't think there will be any one area that would be best to make commute to base any easier/faster.
