Relative affordability and convenience in El Paso’s Ranchland West
Ranchland West is a neighborhood in El Paso, Texas, between Interstate 10 and the United States-Mexico border. The area lives up to its name, as ranch-style homes are the most common style built midcentury. A low price point contributes to a fast-moving market, with a mix of move-in-ready properties and those needing investment. “People are revamping things here, but the homes stay at an affordable price point for first-time home buyers,” says Tracy Musshorn, a Realtor with Majestic Realtors. The area is close to parks and aquatic centers, shopping along the interstate, and authentic Mexican food. “There are Mexican restaurants everywhere,” Musshorn says. “And they’re all really good.”
Just North of the Mexican Boarder, Ranchland West is an affordable residential community.
As one might assume, ranch-style homes are the most common housing in Ranchland West.

Ranch-style homes from the midcentury in a fast-moving market
The median year built here is 1958. On average, homes here sell within 15 days on the market, which is more than three times faster than the national average. Ranch-style homes are the predominant style. Prices range from $145,000 to $255,000 for most homes. Outliers may include homes needing rehab work, which can cost about $110,000, or investment properties like front/back duplexes, which can cost around $270,000. Homes allow off-street parking in attached garages or carports. Low stone walls run alongside sidewalks and wide, open streets. “We’re known for our rock wall landscaping here,” Musshorn says. Shrubs and small trees dot small yards, some grassy, others gravel or concrete. On clear days, some streets have views of the Franklin Mountains. “The mountains are really beautiful,” she says.
Many Ranchland West yards often feature custom built masonry work.
Some lucky Ranchland West residents enjoy private backyard pools to beat the heat of summer.
