Terrace Hills in northeast El Paso offers a quieter city setting

Terrace Hills is a small neighborhood of attractively priced midcentury homes in northeast El Paso that offers a tranquil, yet convenient setting. It is bordered by canyons that separate it from the Franklin Mountains. “Often times, people who are moving to that area want to be in a quieter part of the city,” says Debbie Figueroa of The Real Estate Power Houses, who recently sold a home in the neighborhood. The slow-paced residential community does offer the convenience of proximity to Woodrow Bean Transmountain Road, which provides nearby commerce and access throughout the city.

Larger midcentury homes sit on larger lots on larger streets

A collection of midcentury-moderns and ranch-style homes offers ample yard space. “Larger lots with larger homes on larger streets,” Figueroa says. “There are different pockets in the city with midcentury homes, but this is one of the older, established neighborhoods.” The non-HOA homes, built from the late 1950s through the early 1970s, feature driveways and a mix of carports and attached garages. Several homes have been renovated. Prices range from the mid-$100,000s to the high $200,000s for the largest renovations. “There’s affordability within the entire city of El Paso,” Figueroa says. “It depends on the buyer, not the home.” The residential streets on the neighborhood’s southern edge are separated from Woodrow Bean Transmountain Road by a frontage road and a sound-reducing wall. The arid climate of El Paso means homeowners experience hot, dry summers and mild winters in which temperatures can drop below freezing at night.
