Small suburb beside Franklin Mountain
Tucked between the base of the Franklin Mountains and Route 54 is the small El Paso suburb Sunrise Acres. Home to many of the city’s military workers, Sunrise Acres is only 4 miles from Fort Bliss and 9 miles from downtown, keeping residents close to the workplace and the city attractions. “People really want to be here for the views of the Franklin Mountains, though,” says Brittany Bidwell, a Realtor with RE/MAX who has sold several homes in the area. “The drive going to Sunrise Acres from downtown is so beautiful, with Alabama Street running along the foothills of the mountains.”
Sunrise Acres residents can enjoy the mountain views.

Franklin Mountains and Sunrise Park
“The first thing I ask clients interested in Sunrise Acres is if they are outdoor hikers,” says Bidwell. Tucked 11 miles away in the neighboring mountains, Franklin Mountains State Park’s six walking loops are lined with Southwestern barrel cacti that bloom in the spring; the loops range from 6 miles to 16 miles in length, making the park an inviting place for both new and experienced hikers. Roadrunners, golden eagles and over 100 other bird species can be seen flying in the desert sky here, making the Franklin Mountains a popular birdwatching destination. Within the neighborhood, the 8-acre Sunrise Park is lined with sidewalks and offers mountain views, making it a great spot for a run or walk; most of the park consists of flat, unshaded land, but it also has an inviting playground, hard tennis courts and full-sized basketball courts.

Midcentury stucco ranch-styles and Spanish Revivals
“It feels like I’m in 1953 when I walk into a lot of the homes here,” says Bidwell. Midcentury brick and stucco ranch-style houses make up the bulk of properties in Sunrise Acres; these range from $170,000 for a three-bed to $350,000 for a four-bed. “This area wasn’t built lot-after-lot like other subdivisions in El Paso,” says Bidwell. “One home would be built at a time with the spaces next to them being filled later, so you end up getting a lot of variety.” Scattered throughout the community, Spanish Revival homes from the 2010s average $375,000 for a three-bed. Most properties have fenced back yards large enough to house a pool, and front yards with gravel or stone landscaping; the roads these houses stand on are lined with broad sidewalks that lead to local schools and parks.
The Sunrise neighborhood is adorned with homes from the 1970s.

Enjoy your evenings at McKelligon Canyon Amphitheater near Sunrise Acres.
Cool Canyon Nights and Pop Goes the Fort
On Thursday summer evenings, locals can attend the free Cool Canyon Nights concert series at the McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre. “It’s something I always look forward to,” says Bidwell. “Checking the upcoming bands, eating at the food trucks, being surrounded by the mountains — it’s such a great time.” Fort Bliss’s free Fourth of July event, Pop Goes the Fort, is the biggest in all of El Paso. Hosted in the Biggs Park section of the fort, the event begins with the El Paso Symphony Orchestra playing Boston Pops songs before a firework spectacular kicks off later in the night. Restaurants and caterers offer food trucks, but attendees can also bring their own food for an outdoor picnic underneath the firework-lit sky.
Family-owned New Clock and nearby Walmarts
Clocks hang on the walls of family-owned restaurant New Clock, which has served a mixture of Mexican cuisine and American diner food since the 1960s; locals can enjoy sunny side up eggs with grits in the morning and steak tampiqueña in the evening. Afterward, they can get dessert at the local chain Aurora Rolling Ice Cream across the street, where they serve matcha ice cream cups, Hong Kong bubble waffles and more. For groceries, locals have two Walmart locations to choose from: the Walmart Neighborhood Market immediately east of the neighborhood, and the much larger Walmart Supermarket, just 2 miles south.
