An education in Montwood
Before the local high school was built in 1989, Montwood was just a patch of undeveloped land in East El Paso. But when the first houses started going up in the 1990s, families began moving in and breathing life into this mixed-use residential community of around 1,000 students, teachers and parents. With large homes, local restaurants and high school sports teams, the neighborhood takes pride in how everybody rallies behind their Montwood Rams. “My kids went to Montwood High School,” says Marysela Flores, a resident and broker for Axiom Realty. “That’s why I moved to the neighborhood.”
Montwood is a family-friendly neighborhood in East El Paso.

A cul-de-sac community around Montwood High
Neighborhood houses surround Montwood High School, and the streets lead into cul-de-sacs lined with trees, bushes and sidewalks. People tend to hold onto their properties here and rarely put them onto market. “They pop up here or there, and when they do, they get sold very quickly,” Flores says. “It tends to be a very popular area.” Architectural styles range from Mission Revival to ranch-style. Many of the brick and stucco houses that list between $250,000 and $400,000 feature pebble lawns, palm trees and tile roofs. A few custom houses in the $400,000 to $600,000 range have up to five bedrooms with amenities such as covered patios and porches, quartz countertops and heated in-ground pools.

Friday night lights in Montwood
Locals support Montwood High sports teams. “A lot of people look for school districts when they’re moving into neighborhoods,” Flores says. “It has a big presence here in the community.” In the spring, baseball is in full swing, and the Rams consistently finish in the top five at the district level. In the fall, it's all about football. In 2024 the school district opened a new 6,500-seat stadium designed by Globe Life Field architect and El Paso native Fred Ortiz. Four basketball courts and eight tennis courts are also open to residents on the east side of the campus.
