I pay $1000 for a 3 bed 2 bath with a garage and small yard! Originally paid $925 but it has increased over 2 years. The place isn’t bad, but just a bit old
Curious but how did you find it? I'm paying more than that for a two bedroom apartment that is not in the best condition. They raised my rent a lot in the last three years.
I found it on the century21 website! I was looking for months for somewhere to live because my place before was roach infested. I think it just happened to be luck! I needed somewhere with a yard for my dog so I focused on searching up duplexes which led to townhomes/condos.
I’ve lived in El Paso for most of my life, I remember my first apartment being roughly 750 to 800 with all utilities included. It was on the East side. “Yarbrough n Montwood”. Many years later, I still live in the general area, but I roughly pay 1,000 a month. Two bedroom, one bath, allocated water, and I have to pay the electricity. Roughly 1200 square feet. The place I have lived here for about five years, it has increased about maybe 250, over the course of five years. The overall cost of living in ELP seems to be fair at least on the east side
I was curious to see this question about El Paso prices. I’m living in Denver (suburbs) now and I pay $2430 for two bed/2.5 bath townhome with a one car garage….
Damn. I may be renting out my 5 year old 3 bed 2 bath home with 2 car garage on the west side and here I thought charging $1700 to cover the mortgage was bad. lol
898 base rent before utilities at album park by yarbrough, single bedroom and they keep raising the rents. they gotta be colluding on these rents right?
Don’t be fooled, we moved from Houston last year where we paid $2300 for a 4 bedroom 2 bath house and we now pay $2100 for a 3/2 house here with similar amenities. And groceries are way more expensive here. BUT we don’t have to worry about hurricane season so I guess that’s nice.
I guess it's just financially tough every where, groceries can be cheap if you know how to shop between Aldis, Food Club, Fiesta etc...over here in Houston
915, 60 water, free internet for 2 bedroom 1 bath. $100 electric with refrigerated air. Paid 1200 for a 2 bedroom 2 bath plus $80 water, 100 electric, $50 wifi. Both on the Westside and not as bad as other apartments, normal annoyances.
I paid $90,000 for a three bedroom, one bathroom, two level house in early 2020. It's 100+ years but was in great shape with a medium sized fenced in yard. I've spent about $20,000 working on it to make it glorious and add a second bathroom. With equity from my last house and savings from my house we paid it off in a few months. It's in Central so not the best, but not too bad.
Currently renting a 3 bed 2 bath in the northeast for 1350. Been in the house for 4 years and rent has gone up 1 time a year ago from 1250 and is going up in January to 1500. House is older but in great shape
1450 for owning my place in the west side. Utilities not included tho but at least I don’t deal with nasty landlords here in ep. Too many headaches for them to fix a simple fridge and too many issues to even keep renting
West side, 2bd/2bth apartment no hookups 1100/mo, water allocated, internet included. Location is great and it’s pretty quiet but just way too expensive.
As a young adult who has just purchased a home a year ago in El Paso here is what I can tell you…. Try and buy a new house if you can afford it and get LOTS of concessions from the builder with a FHA you can get them to contribute up to 6% and then only have to pay the downpayment (3.5%). Example on a 250k house that’s only $8.75k. You also get a warranty and some other new home stuff. Also buying right now while interest rates are high means you don’t have to compete with so many other people like during Covid historically low rates. That drove the prices of houses up. If you can afford to buy now do it. You can always refinance later when rates drop.
Super tip- but when your income is relatively low, because with seller concessions and govt downpayment assistance grants and programs you can literally move in with almost $0 down. I made the mistake of waiting until I thought I could “afford” a house and I didn’t qualify for any assistance. Which sucks.
The bad of buying- prop taxes out here are criminally high. I bought a house for $311k and my monthly mortgage with prop taxes is 2700/month principal is $1800 and roughly $900 goes towards taxes 😢
So for some people if you don’t plan to stay in El Paso- which I recommend unless you’re retiring. Renting is better. It will save you in the long run. Just for me the roughly $9k I pay in taxes is offset by the savings I get for not paying state income tax haha. You just have to look at the entire picture. Because in some situations a $800 apartment makes soo much more sense thank a mortgage 2-3x more
Think of them like freebies the seller gives to entice uou to purchase their house/product. Usually they’ll give you a 5k check to buy a fridge or some laundry machines. Sometimes it’s a $10k landscaping credit to fix your yard etc
$1,700 in Juarez for a beautiful gated private community with 24/7 security and a nice park in front of my house.
Two private parking spaces. It's a two-story home that comes with a small front yard and backyard with a grill it has four rooms and two bathrooms and a home gym. My house is brand new and I'm the first person to rent it.
If I was living in El Paso or Santa Teresa this place would cost me an arm and a leg it's also a 5-minute drive from the bridge so I cross over back and forth every day fairly quickly.
west side 1 bed 1 bath about $600 (if I'm remembering correctly) but that's because the apartments are older, the newer apartments for 1 bed 1 bath (albeit more sqft.) is about $900
People were saying the same thing three years ago. It's never a bad time to buy especially if you're looking long-term. Of course it's not ideal to buy with such a high interest rate but neither of us had a crystal ball so prices could keep going up over the next 5 years.
People were saying it in 2010 also at the bottom bottom..... I remember I was trying to figure out how to buy as many houses as I could and Warren Buffett was also. I only managed to buy one lol. Real smart kid I was on Craigslist trying to find investors with the article from Warren Buffett as my pitch. Looking back I should have went to the country club and just rubbed elbows with the right people but hindsight's 20/20.
Yes. I mean the point of what you and are saying is that it always seems like a bad time to buy. But you can’t time the market. Just buy if you’re ready and able to. And that’s about it.
I agree with you. My family is pressuring me to buy a house. I've been on my own before but at one point I couldn't afford it anymore so I moved back in with my mom. Now I'm more financially stable. I could probably buy a house if I wanted to put in the work but I'm just ready to move out.
To put this into context, I was living in Austin in 2015 and people told me I was fucking crazy for buying a 4 bed, 2 bath (1500 sq ft) for about 240K. It sucked for the first two years (house poor) and taxes and constant home maintenance will always find a way to screw you, but look at what happened in the time since. Of course I never predicted a global pandemic or an asshat like Joe Rogan moving there would make everyone want to move there but here we are. It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you’re ready and feel like you’re financially stable enough to do so, then it’s ok to buy. As I said above, you can’t time the market, and if I had waiting until 2020 (5 years time as the person I’m responding to suggested), then I would’ve been completely cooked. I just offer my anecdotal experience but ymmv.
1,300 for Duplex 3 Bd 2 full baths. But houses are old now. Built in the 70s. Been looking to buy asap, & our neighbor became a very bitter person over the years so i gtg
basically nothing
1st apartment - 2 bed room by Yarbrough in a super nice area, perfect neighbors in the literal definition peace, only left because I wanted a bigger place $825 (plus an additional $30-50 for sewage + water)
2nd apartment - 2 bed room in Ysleta in a super shit area, crack heads everywhere, uncivilized place, not even worthy to shit in district of el paso, we could lose that entire portion of the lower valley(area not the people except like 45% of them) and it would make the city a better place. I have never witnessed so much crime in my life than my time living there from car theft to murder, it was a literal GTA server $880 (plus an additional $30-50 for sewage + water)
1st house rental - 3 bed room 2 bath in a super perfect area in Clint super nice house, newer build, and my neighbors are normal, nice community with lots of events throughout the year, I could see myself buying land and building house here if my house buying hunt doesn't show me what I want. I could really not say enough good about Clint, the Clint and Horizon area is without a doubt the best part of El Paso. $950 flat
I pay $1000 for a 3 bed 2 bath with a garage and small yard! Originally paid $925 but it has increased over 2 years. The place isn’t bad, but just a bit old
Whhhat wow! 3 bed to bath for 1,000 that’s awesome. New Orleans is 2,000 or more for a 3 bedroom. I wish I could move back to EP
Yeah same here, it’s $925 with a $25 online fee to pay on the website. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a decent sized yard. Home is just older
Is it in Central?
Nooo it’s off Montana and Yarbrough
Where? I need this deal lol
The townhomes/condos around frisco burger
What are they called?
Also would like to know what they're called
Curious but how did you find it? I'm paying more than that for a two bedroom apartment that is not in the best condition. They raised my rent a lot in the last three years.

Thanks!
I rent a studio in a house in central w water and split elec for about $520 it used to be about $$375 when I first moved but that was like 7 years ago
$20 increase roughly every year for the past seven years. That’s honestly not bad.
comments making me realize im being overcharged.
Pics would help though, there’s tons of older neighborhood homes that haven’t updated since the sixties for rent, the numbers are arbitrary.
$1500 for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house with a small backyard.
That’s not bad, the price seems to be good for that size of home

$1125/mo for a 2-bedroom, 2 bath duplex with a washer and dryer, a yard and 2 parking spaces :)
Is it an apartment complex?
Sorry for the late response! But nope, it’s a duplex in a little neighborhood so I have neighbors directly next to me and that’s it ☺️
I was curious to see this question about El Paso prices. I’m living in Denver (suburbs) now and I pay $2430 for two bed/2.5 bath townhome with a one car garage….
Holy cow
Damn. I may be renting out my 5 year old 3 bed 2 bath home with 2 car garage on the west side and here I thought charging $1700 to cover the mortgage was bad. lol
In El Paso at that price you may have to cover utilities…Good luck!…

Not bad
WHETE

Damn. It must be nice.
It’s overpriced I’d say, for the same amount I was living on the river walk in downtown San Antonio. Almost out of here lol
I pay about $1200 for a one bed apartment, not including utilities on the west side. It would be a tid bit cheaper if I didn't also have two dogs.
I have a doggo too to consider
I live at The Pointe Apartments. There are apartments that are a tad bit smaller and cheaper. Plus, a little bit cheaper on the pet rent.
Thanks I'll look into them

I guess it's just financially tough every where, groceries can be cheap if you know how to shop between Aldis, Food Club, Fiesta etc...over here in Houston
I always laugh when people say everything is cheap here lol. My groceries were cheaper in Georgia, Florida, and Kansas than they are here.

I paid $1500 in rent in an apartment on the westside. 3 bedroom 2 baths with living room kitchen and dinning room. Also a laundry room.
$850 for a 2 bed, 1 bath duplex. 1 car garage and private backyard
$1,700 in Juarez for a beautiful gated private community with 24/7 security and a nice park in front of my house. Two private parking spaces.

Oops forgot to include. It's a 1 bed room and 1 bath
Westside : We pay about $1200 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartment with laundry room
Enough… But seriously my old place was 657 and increased about $100 over the last couple of years.
If it is a one bedroom one bathroom apartment, you’re still paying relatively fair price.
Don't buy for another 5 years. Just rent. Wait it out
People were saying the same thing three years ago. It's never a bad time to buy especially if you're looking long-term. Of course it's not ideal to buy with such a high interest rate but neither of us had a crystal ball so prices could keep going up over the next 5 years.
That's true too

Bet
I just don’t understand renting, throwing away that kind of money when it could go towards owning a house. Just me I guess. 🤷🏻♀️
Not everyone has that opportunity.
Not all people qualify and the mortgage payment can be way more than rent. Giving a hefty down payment is not practical for a lot of people too.
$1395 for a 3 bed, 2 bath house off Pebble Hills with a 2 car garage and a decent sized backyard.
The quick math, it's about a $1 per sq ft.

Horizon is blowing up with construction and traffic though 🫠😳😲 🚨🚗
Can you share what rental company you rent from? I'm looking to rent a house in the horizon area, clint would be fine too
I’m renting directly through the home owner he doesn’t use a company. I can ask him if he has other homes for rent if you’d like
Yes please
