Taking a Tour of El Paso

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Dan Olivas and Associates

We have been working with potential doctors that are being recruited to the brand new  4 year medical school and research center that is due to open in August of this year.

Touring the city has been a great experience for the potential doctors and for me personally too. I think when you live in a city you seem to take it for granted and when you are tyring to show it off to new people it really opens your eyes to the what made you fall in love with El Paso in the first place.

Most of these doctors are coming from humid climates and El Paso has very low humidity levels 99% of the time and that is one of the best things about El Paso.  If you like outdoor activities you can do them almost 365 days out of the year. Today is Feb 16, 2009 and it is about 65 and sunny and I am walking around without a coat and it is not cold at all. You really can't beat that.

Most cities that people come from have a higher crime rate than El Paso and in fact for the last 5 years (more or less) we have been awarded the 2nd or 3rd safest city for cities over 500,000 people. Most people can not believe that for a border city and especially with what is happening in Mexico right now with the drug wars. Our police, DEA, Customs, military and all the other federal agencies make EL Paso a very safe city to live in.

Our home prices have remained steady and have gone up slightly so if you want a home now is the time to buy in El Paso, Tx
