Irvin View Pointe Homes for Rent

Irvin View Pointe is one of the more affordable areas in northeast El Paso, located in the scenic foothills of the Franklin Mountains. The smaller starter homes near Fort Bliss military base draw younger military families and anyone looking for a lower price tag. "These homes accommodate a much lower price point than you deal with in other areas," says Brian Burds, of the Brian Burds Home Selling Team with Exp Realty in El Paso. "It's setting up that success for people to want to come take a look at them." For the price, residents don't sacrifice proximity to hiking, grocery stores, schools and concerts in the mountains.
