3516 Clifton Ave

The triangle-shaped Pershing-Government Hill neighborhood sits about three miles northeast of downtown El Paso, not far from the U.S.-Mexico border. The neighborhood was originally planned as a residential subdivision of the city in 1906 when city planners sought to make use of the large area of vacant land between downtown and the U.S. Army post Fort Bliss.

Route 54 lies just to the east of the neighborhood, connecting to Interstate 10 to the south which allows for quick commutes to downtown and various destinations throughout the city. Memorial Park lies in the northwest, providing residents with walking trails, softball fields, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and playground.

Residents looking for a break from Tex-Mex cuisine venture to the Italian Kitchen for generous portions of pasta. For a bit of nightlife, locals appreciate the cozy, popular Love Buzz and its wide selection of cocktails and craft beer.
