Hints of El Paso’s history blend with progress in Mission Valley
With railroad tracks on one side and a four-lane highway on the other, Pleasant Valley offers a glimpse of El Paso’s past and evidence of its progress. This central section of Mission Valley was built on old farmland, and some residential areas still have a rural vibe. But commercial activity has grown to a steady hum on thoroughfares like North Loop Drive, which borders one edge of the neighborhood. “It’s quite a bit of a mix,” says Charlie Clark, broker and owner of Century 21 Clark Brothers. “Those were some of the earlier settlements in El Paso, but some high-end developments have been made in the last 50 years. On the major streets, you’re going to have restaurants, retail, some mom-and-pop shops.”

Brick ranch-style homes from the 1970s
Most properties in Pleasant Valley are brick ranch-style and mobile homes, with a few multiunit builds in the mix. Buyers can expect close neighbors, but some houses include several acres — a nod to the neighborhood’s agricultural past. “It’s going to be at the low end of the spectrum in the market,” Clark says. “These would be houses predominantly from the ’70s.” Prices do trend low by El Paso standards, averaging $125,000 to $275,000 for a single-family home and $350,000 to $600,000 for duplexes and other multiunit investment properties. This might be why houses typically sell within 30 days, as opposed to the national average of 44. However, while prices might be lower than the national average and below the average range for the city, they’re on par with nearby Mission Valley neighborhoods like Pendale and Colonia del Valle.

Things to consider
According to the American Lung Association, El Paso’s air quality ranks among the worst in the United States. This is particularly true in neighborhoods closest to the border, where long lines of idling traffic form at checkpoints regularly, contributing to the area’s ozone pollution.
