Prado Homes for Sale

Prado is a border neighborhood located in the Mission Valley area of El Paso. Residents are close to Loop 375 and right next to the U.S.-Mexico border. The property mix consists of apartment buildings and manufactured and ranch-style homes, many with attached garages. Property sizes are small, and low home prices contribute to a hot market. Kids are within walking distance of area schools, including the well-rated Ysleta High School, which is right in the neighborhood. Car dealerships, Mexican joints and chain restaurants line Alameda Avenue, also within walking distance. The neighborhood lacks parks, but the walking trail, basketball courts and playgrounds at Pueblo Viejo Park are nearby, along with Capistrano Park and J.P. Shawver Park. Speaking Rock, a casino and entertainment center, hosts live acts and events about a mile away. Although Sun Metro buses serve the area, most residents rely on cars, and Loop 375 is a major traffic artery leading to downtown El Paso, about 11 miles away, and El Paso International Airport, about 9 miles away. Idling traffic at the Puente Zaragoza border crossing can lead to air quality issues.
