Strong community and lush landscapes in El Pasos Lower Valley
The neighborhood of El Paso Lower Valley enjoys a mix of longtime residents and young families, both of whom appreciate the three walkable schools and grass that’s greener than in most parts of this desert city. The result is hundreds of acres of parkland and farmland. And with familiar faces around, residents don't usually mind that homes are close together. "I know my neighbors and I talk to them daily — it's not weird for people to wave at you," says Aaron Ramirez, a Lower Valley resident and Realtor with Irma C. Valenzuela Realty.
El Paso Lower Valley is very close to the US and Mexico border.

Midcentury homes that are ready for renovation
Spanish Revival and ranch-style homes sit on smaller lots in this densely developed neighborhood, most of them built in the 1950s and '60s and may need some TLC. Prices start around $130,000 for fixer-uppers and can go up to $215,000 for the neighborhood's largest homes. Residents are able to water lawns on certain days. Landscaping also consists of the paver tiles, decorative stones and mulch that are typical of El Paso. Irrigation may increase the risk of flooding, Ramirez says.

K-12 schools within walking distance
Students at every grade level can walk to school. The new Riverside Elementary School opened its doors here in 2022, and doesn't yet have a grade from Niche. The neighborhood is also home to Riverside Middle School, which gets a B-minus, and Riverside High School, which gets a B. The high school offers a two-year architectural design program, teaching the tasks and skills students may need in the industry. Postsecondary opportunities are also close by. El Paso Community College's Valle Verde campus is just east and offers Associate of Applied Science, Associate of Science, and Associate of Arts degrees.

Cooling off with pools and splash pads
There are ample opportunities to enjoy the lush landscape. The neighborhood is next to Ascarate Park, El Paso County's largest public-use park at over 400 acres. It's anchored by a 48-acre fishing lake with a boardwalk, a golf course and an aquatic center. Hidden Valley Park is the neighborhood's own centrally located park. The open, grassy landscape features a splash pad and covered playground to beat the hot El Paso weather.
