Sandy Creek in Mission Valley is close to everything
The suburban roads of Sandy Creek lead from 20th-century homes to commercial spaces and busy thoroughfares in El Paso. The community, east of downtown, is a part of the city’s Mission Valley area. “The Lower Valley is how we refer to it,” says Linda Bastraw, an El Paso native who is also the broker and owner of Linda Bastraw Realty, LLC. “That region has lots of families that have been here for many years, some for generations.” According to Bastraw, people also move here for the location. “It’s close to everything. Malls, restaurants, everything, because of the location,” she says. The U.S.-Mexico border is 12 miles away, and much of the community is Spanish-speaking.
Sandy Creek sits in El Paso’s Mission Valley, also called the Lower Valley.
