Sunset Heights Homes for Rent

Sunset Heights, located in El Paso, is a historic neighborhood just east of the Rio Grande with a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. Known for its elegant American Foursquare and Tudor Revival homes, many designed by architect Henry Trost, the area features properties with unique architectural details like transom windows and basements, a rarity in El Paso. The neighborhood's revitalization efforts have restored many structures, including the Byzantine-style St. Patrick’s Cathedral, part of the official historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Sunset Heights is bordered by the University of Texas at El Paso to the north and downtown El Paso about a mile south, making it a walkable area with convenient access to both. Local amenities include grocery stores like Albertsons and Whole Foods within 7 miles, and retail options at The Shoppes at Solana mall 6 miles north. Dining options range from local favorites like Savage Goods and Taconeta to popular chain restaurants. The neighborhood is part of the El Paso Independent School District, with highly rated schools such as Wiggs Middle and El Paso High School, which offers specialized STEM and dual language programs. Residents enjoy several small parks, including Mundy Park, which features a basketball court and e-bike rentals. Community events, such as the annual Sunset Heights Tour of Homes and monthly gatherings in Mundy Park, foster a tight-knit community atmosphere. The area is served by El Paso’s Sun Metro bus system and is conveniently located near major highways, hospitals, and El Paso International Airport, less than 10 miles northeast.
