Chamizal Homes for Rent

Chamizal, located in El Paso, is a neighborhood primarily composed of apartments, with a significant number of residents being renters. Single-family homes in the area are often brightly painted with shotgun-style and flat-roofed designs, featuring stucco walls. Many of these homes date back to the 1930s and 1940s, though some have been recently remodeled. The neighborhood is densely packed, with lot sizes typically under 10,000 square feet. Chamizal is adjacent to the El Paso Zoo and Botanical Gardens, a 35-acre park that features various animal species and biking and hiking trails. The Chamizal National Memorial museum, which commemorates the treaty resolving boundary disputes, is also nearby. Ascarate Park, the city's largest recreational park, is within 5 miles and offers golf courses, a boardwalk, and a 48-acre lake for fishing. Dining options include casual Mexican restaurants like Sr. Benjos and La Nueva Rosita along Alameda Avenue. The neighborhood is well-connected by Sun Metro bus stops and several highways, including Interstates 10 and 110. Downtown El Paso is about 2 miles away, and El Paso International Airport is a 6-mile drive. While the local schools, Douglass Elementary, Guillen Middle, and Bowie High, earn average ratings, the high school’s International Business Academy attracts students from across the district. The area experiences air quality issues due to exhaust from border traffic, a common concern in border neighborhoods.
