It’s not a base! It’s a Post!!

I live in San Antonio now 20 years but, I grew up in El Paso. I love my home here in SA, military city USA. That being said, EP is a safe, friendly city. That is how I remember it. I brought my young family to SA for opportunity, more universities, etc. My oldest graduated from UT Austin in 2008, my second graduated from Incarnate Word. I'm very proud. The border is not an issue, it's just part of life there. I will say, the food and the women are exceptional. I am married to a woman I met in El Paso and she is out of my league. If you're stationed there as a single guy, you will see what I'm saying. The sunsets there are unrivaled, regardless of which side of the Franklin mountains you live. I would go back if we didn't have our extended family here in SA Thank you guys and keep it up.

Rent in the northeast has gone up more than 40% while the wages here are often as low as $10/hr. El Paso needs a Vacancy Tax and more STR Regulations. And definitely less 'investors' buying up our housing for quick profit.

IN SHORT TLDR: Life here is pretty good, but since there “isn’t much to do”, it’s only as good as the “family” you make here. As someone who grew up here, moved to several Major Cities & came back, the Honest reason people don’t like it here is because of the “nothing to do” feeling. By that I mean, there aren’t any major league teams, routinely Major concerts/events (avrg every 2-4years) , world renowned USA attractions for at least 4-6 hours driving in almost any direction depending on what side of the city you live on. There are things like malls, a small night club scene, verity of food, outdoor related activities, seasonal events that feel more fitting for a small town then a city of this size. However the “small town” mentality is true in how most people are friendly or courteous, almost in a way that would remind you of a Mexican American Hallmark movie, Family and loved ones are super important and it’s strange to go more then 2-3 weeks without speeding time with them. Time kinda has this weird way of standing still around here. Most of the year is somewhere between 74-98. A good majority of people will either never leave, leave then come back, or settle within a few hours of here. Honestly it’s been a good life.

Are there any HOAs there? I would hope not.

Great video. It seems like the locals are the ones that don’t seem to like El Paso, but outsiders can appreciate a true gem when they see it.

WWII 5 Star General Omar Bradly retired at Fort Bliss

Wonderful information, Thank You Michael!

How would I bring in evidence to correct square footage?

El Paso is horrible. Downtown may be clean, with all the illegal migrants that's here I doubt it's still clean. The roadsides are full of trash. Trash stuck in bushes along the roads. Even some trash near homes, I'd think residents would have pride and clean it up. Good luck getting a job if you do not speak Spanish. I like Ft Bliss. The mountains are OK. But it's not as green as the video makes it seem. There is one lake and no ponds, the one lake is dirty looking. I hear many people complain El Paso residents do not like the military.

The HOA Covenants and Restrictions WILL NOT allow you to make any improvements to your home, yards (front and back) without HOA approval. Basically, your paying your mortgage but the HOA is in COMPLETE CONTROL of what your home will look like...NO THANKS.....NOT FOR ME!!!!

HOA=NO WAY

Construction is ruining the desert spaces. Greed will ruin El Paso.

Good job Brother, and Thank you for Serving...

I might be headed there =)

Nope. El Paso sucks . I was born & raised. I worked on bliss . Took off to San Antonio.

I loved my years at Fort Bliss! El Paso was great in the 90s!

Good and helpful !, thanks guys 👍

Super helpful! Thanks guys!

Used to live there Most overall texmex: Julios Best texmex dish: machaca at kiwis Best overall: desert oaks bbq Best game store: game vault hands down, not even close.

hello I hope you are well. I researched your channel and found that your channel has some problems. You need to customize your channel to increase views, subscribers and even monetization. If your channel is a little optimized and if the videos are SEO then your channel will rank very fast and your channel will grow. Your channel SEO is very low(22.8/100). Do you want to customize? As soon as you upload the video, if SEO is not done, your video will never go viral and will never reach new viewers. I am waiting for your response. Have a nice day. Thanks & regards Aysha

I just moved away. Glad I left

Kern Place, Sunset Heights and Manhattan Heights are my favorite neighborhoods of El Paso.

Great video and very informative. The market has changed quite a bit, and you bring up great points here

Contact me if you have any questions about buying or selling a home!

it's great to hear people that are not sinical comment on a place you are about to live in, thank you for your video and service.

Are you guys under duress or experiencing stockholm syndrome ? FT Bliss is cool and all but El Paso has nothing to do but drink and eat a rotation of different foods with tortillas and cheese cooked several different ways and an airport to escape cause you know it’s horrible . Other than that waking up to blow sand off your porch and thinking tumbleweed’s are enough green any human really needs or almost getting plowed into by someone crossing over three lanes exiting the last minute to the nearest GWalmart is very stressful. No amount of hiking in Mckelligon Canyon , dirt bike riding in red sands or Golfing in the El Paso Country Club while drunk as hell can make me stay! Only real reason Soldiers stay there is because they got an El Paso girl pregnant and she won’t leave because her entire family is there and she refuses to live anywhere Mexican food isn’t “ Authentic” . 😅 FT Hood is obviously trash but if you leave there alive you can move to Georgetown rite outside of Austin which is also a military community and way way nicer than El Paso . You can actually see real water if you still remember what it’s like and fish 😮 and ride on boats /jet skis and drive 20 minutes down to Austin where there are so so many green trees 🌲 and rivers and lakes and tons of different ethnicities and culture’s everywhere not just on base 😅. It’s either live in a place with bad traffic and sandy mountains as scenery or live in a place with bad traffic and everything El Paso wishes they had and scenery on top of that . 😅

Thanks for the video

Hey, I hope you are having a good time! I am a professional Digital Marketer and SEO specialist. I visited your RUclips channel and And watching your videos, your videos are great but I found some issues due to which the video is not reaching the targeted audience. can i chat with you about your channel?

Great content guy! Please discuss /verify if there’s an On Base High School and housing for SGM Academy. Thanks.

"promo sm" 💯

I wouldn’t buy a house, from a realtor who says some far fetched reasons why not to move to El Paso. It’s obvious your not a native El Pasoan .. El Paso has a great diversity of people. You definitely need more experience.

Love it!! Thanks for your support for veterans!

Take a shot every time he says "close to Fort Bliss"

Definitely not a Killeen lol

Great video! How is the 79928 area code?

Can you recommend any builders that build 6 bedroom homes out on the west side?

Another interesting thing is that a portion of El Paso is in TX 23, which is currently represented by a Republican. While our city government is largely progressive, our current mayor and one or two reps that are much more moderate. Perhaps the best thing about El Paso politics is that most El Pasoans do not get inflamed by political differences.

We moved to El Paso last year from a bright red area in rural northeast Texas. It has been a breath of fresh air so far. Here, we're just one of many interracial couples, and not a sideshow for closeted (and not so closeted) racists.

I moved from the North East, to the West Side! I do NOT regret it 🥺😍

I graduated from El Paso High. It’s not haunted.

Only hiking I did was on my horse along the Rio Grande. Left in1997 and miss the Mexican food. I see El Paso has really grown now. People are great in El Paso. Miss that.

Excellent video! You introduced me to some places I wasn't familiar with and now I really want to try them!

Love this part of the city and great video as always. Please cover The Willows and the El Paso Country Club (79922) areas of the city.

Thanks...this was very informative. If I decide to buy, I'll be in touch! 😊

I'm ready! I'm loving it here...arrived in November from NJ. Beautiful scenery here, flowers, cactus. It is hot, but beats humidity any day. That’s what the pool is for...like being on vacation every daytime! The winter was wonderful.

My friends,,, El Paso Tx??? No ofende But ni can do. Way to hot, and l mean extremely hot, short comment not much to do. Sorry not for me.
