Although the northeast is starting to look like the west side these days. At least is was like that the last time i was in El Paso.... 4 years ago
If you think it's gorgeous now, you should have seen it when it was just a mountain.

I few years ago, I would of said avoid it.. but I was out there recently and it has boomed! lots of new buildings and homes and business, and growth! Heck even new schools.. it also looked clean and quiet.. I would think it would be a great place to live now.

EDIT: Note that East El Paso, is closing in on Horizon pretty quick though, pretty soon you wont be able to tell the difference between the two.

I agree with Muhnay, it is growing really fast. I went there not too long ago and there were some really nice new areas..that just sprouted up recently. I also saw many new businesses popping up in the area.

i lived in horizon for about 2 years before i left. They're building nice houses and shopping there. However, it was way too noisy for me.

When i lived in the inner east side of el paso it was quiet and nice. Horizon for some reason mixes the 200-300k homes with the 70-80k homes, and for that reason you hear damn marriachi music all damn day and night from the lower income homes.

That drove me kinda nuts for the most part. However there were some VERY nice areas there where that wasnt a problem at all. Horizon has some very nice upperclass areas

Well...I will start by saying I am biased when it comes to weather and greenery. I came from a midwest state, and I can tell you it is NOTHING like that. It is a desert, so please listen to those that say it is hot and dry. Not much humidity, but the sun can still cook ya! Gardening is almost non-existant unless you zenoscape or have a ridiculous water bill. The winters are very mild and for the most part nice, but if you are a snow bunny than this is not the place for you. My husband and I are relocating our family soon because I can handle 15 inches of snow over 15 inches of sand any day!

Well I'm also from the Midwest and in my opinion you almost can't beat the weather here. You can garden here, it's just not the same as in the Midwest and you don't have to wait until June to start. The Mesilla Valley in fact is one of the most fertile farmlands there are. For example, in the Midwest you might get two cuttings of hay, here it would be more like six.

Does the sand really blow around like that a lot, or is it seasonal?
