Residential streets in El Paso’s Lower Valley
On the western edge of El Paso’s Lower Valley, the residential streets of Shawver Park gather in rows along the U.S.-Mexico border, separated from Ciudad Juárez by the Rio Grande and the Cesar E. Chavez Border Highway. The area dates to the late 17th century, when several Spanish missions were established along the river. “Most of the land in that area was farmland, and then farmers decided that their land is worth more being used for residential and commercial development, so they’ve been selling it off,” says Charlie Clark, broker and owner of Century 21 Clark Brothers, Inc. “I’ve been here 60 years now, and I’ve seen that kind of growth.” Ten miles separate the neighborhood from downtown El Paso, but access to major highways makes it easy to get around. Glimpses of the neighborhood’s agricultural roots are still visible in J.P. Shawver Park, the green space that occupies a large band of land near the Mexican border.
Shawver Park is located right along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Shawver Park sits in the heart of El Paso's Lower Valley.
