El Paso neighborhood guide · 79912
Franklin Hills is an established, high-end neighborhood in west El Paso's 79912, set in the foothills of the Franklin Mountains with wide views of the Rio Grande Valley and the city. It is known for larger, mostly 2000s-built homes on mature streets, close to the mountains and to everyday amenities, and it is served by El Paso ISD schools including Franklin High. Active listings currently range from about $355,000 to $1.6 million (as of September 2026), with a median asking price around $635,000. It is an essentially finished neighborhood, so buyers looking for brand-new construction on the west side look to Cimarron Canyon or Enchanted Hills instead.

Franklin Hills sits in the Franklin Mountains foothills of west El Paso’s 79912, south of Transmountain. It is the high-end, established side of the west side: an essentially finished neighborhood of larger, mostly 2000s-built homes on mature streets, with higher-elevation lots that open up wide valley and city views. The land follows the Hunt model, with Hunt developing and selling finished lots to the builders who build there, and Franklin Hills itself has no HOA. The nearby gated Tuscany Ridge is its own separate community, not part of Franklin Hills. Buyers choose Franklin Hills for the setting, the space, and the established address rather than for new construction, which is why its median price runs above the newer Cimarron Canyon and Enchanted Hills.
Franklin Hills is an essentially finished neighborhood of larger, mostly 2000s-built homes on mature streets. It is deliberately a different lane from the new-construction hubs to the north, and its higher median price reflects the space and the established address.
Trails on the edges of the neighborhood lead straight into the Franklin Mountains, with the Lost Dog Trail trailhead, Linda Daw Hudson Park, and the Resler trails close by. Everyday shopping is a short drive rather than a walk: about five minutes to Whole Foods, the Kinective gym, coffee, and restaurants.
Franklin-named homes run roughly 2,100 to 4,100 square feet, larger than the typical home in the newer westside neighborhoods, most of them built between about 2003 and 2014 (MLS, July 2026).
The land follows the Hunt model, with builders buying finished lots, and Franklin Hills itself has no HOA. The gated Tuscany Ridge nearby is a separate community, not part of Franklin Hills.
The neighborhood's elevation in the foothills gives wide views of the Rio Grande Valley and the city, and especially good sunsets. The most sought-after lots are the ones with no back neighbors, which tend to carry a premium.
Because most homes were built in the 2000s, it is worth checking the age of major components like the roof and HVAC, the way you would in any established neighborhood. There are also some nicer, newer homes mixed in.
