Captivating views on Scenic Drive
Set 5 miles southwest of the Fort Bliss U.S. Army base, Highland Park is a neighborhood characterized by historic homes, views of the city and convenient access to downtown El Paso. While many residents here are military personnel who chose the neighborhood for its relative affordability and proximity to the Army base, some are long-standing El Paso residents who enjoy the quieter, hillside atmosphere. “You can see the entire city from Scenic Drive,” says Brenda Chavez, El Paso Realtor with Home Pros Real Estate Group. “Residents are right in the mix. The zoo is about 10 minutes away, there’s great food on North Piedras Street, and downtown is less than 3 miles away.” In addition to being close to commercial amenities, the neighborhood is set against El Paso's towering Franklin Mountains, giving Highland Park residents easy access to scenic hiking trails.
