This fast-growing area enjoys easy access to major outdoor attractions like the expansive Franklin Mountain State Park, the largest urban park in the country, providing a host of recreation opportunities. This part of town also lays claim to some of the greenest territory in the city. Residents generally commute to jobs outside the area, but they appreciate the easy access to several restaurants and local shops. Upper Mesa Hills sits about seven miles northwest of Downtown El Paso, making it easy for residents to get to the city for work or leisure.
