Mexican roots remain in Lincoln Park
Just 2 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, Lincoln Park was originally settled by Mexican families in the early 1900s. The east El Paso neighborhood was home to a segregated schoolhouse, which eventually shut down in 1970 as Interstate 10 and U.S. Route 54 cut off walking access. Today, a freeway stretches over the building, but it’s now known as the Mexican American Cultural Institute. The surrounding green space, dubbed Lincoln Park, is a hub of Mexican heritage with colorful murals, car shows and other annual events. This vibrant location is what attracts homebuyers. “You’re kind of at the center of everything in Lincoln Park,” says Allison Dillard, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty who is also a lifelong El Paso resident. “Those highways make it super easy to get everywhere. Downtown El Paso is like 10 minutes away, and so is the border.”

Ranch styles are common
Three-to-four-bedroom ranch-style homes built between the 1940s and ‘50s dot Lincoln Park’s sidewalk-lined roads. Some houses have Pueblo or adobe influences. Their modest lots occasionally feature gravel landscaping, shrubs and palm trees. Though half the neighborhood is renters, buying here can cost between $150,000 and $250,000. That range is lower than El Paso’s median price.

Interstate 10 and U.S. Route 54 offer access to the rest of El Paso
Lincoln Park is a car-dependent community. A 4-mile drive west on I-10 reaches downtown El Paso. U.S. Route 54 stretches north-south through the city. The interchange where the two highways meet is locally known as the “Spaghetti Bowl” for its complex and traffic-heavy design. “That’s probably the busiest highway section in the city because it takes people downtown and to the border,” Dillard says. Bridge of the Americas, 2 miles south, crosses the U.S.-Mexican border into Ciudad Juárez. Sun Metro buses in the neighborhood also provide rides downtown. El Paso International Airport and the Fort Bliss Army post are both less than 4 miles northeast. Flight paths from both places go over Lincoln Park, and locals may hear plane noise.

Lincoln Park is sometimes called Chicano Park
Under the Spaghetti Bowl, Lincoln Park memorializes El Paso’s Mexican-American roots. “People call it Chicano Park because of the Mexican murals,” Dillard says. Walking paths weave around freeway pillars decorated with vibrant paintings of matachine dancers, Catholic symbols and people like Frida Kahlo. The green space is also home to the Mexican American Cultural Institute, located in the neighborhood’s original, renovated adobe-style schoolhouse. Visitors can view rotating art exhibits, take dance lessons and enjoy regular Mexican food tastings. Mariachi bands, a lowrider car show and local taco trucks celebrate Lincoln Park Day, which has been held for one day every September since 2019.
