Where North Hills sits in El Paso

Loading map of North Hills…

North Hills sits in far Northeast El Paso's 79934, between a flood-control levee on its west edge and the newer Sandstone Ranch area to the east, where Martin Luther King Boulevard ends at US 54. It built out mainly through the 1990s and early 2000s, so the streets are settled and the landscaping has had time to grow in. Nearly every street name starts with Loma, Spanish for hill, and the name fits: the terrain rises through the neighborhood toward wide views of the Franklin Mountains across the highway. Chuck Heinrich Park anchors the southwest corner, Painted Dunes Desert Golf Course is a few minutes up McCombs, and US 54 runs straight down to the Fort Bliss gates, which has made North Hills a commuter pick for soldiers for decades; part of the neighborhood has even served as Army-leased family housing.

Why people choose North Hills

Settled 1990s streets

North Hills built out mainly in the 1990s and early 2000s, so it is an established neighborhood rather than a construction zone. Homes are detached single-family, most between about 1,300 and 2,500 square feet (MLS, August 2026).

The Lomas

Nearly every street name starts with Loma, Spanish for hill (Loma Clara, Loma Roja, Loma Franklin), and the name fits. The terrain rises through the neighborhood, and the higher streets pick up wide Franklin Mountains views.

27 holes of golf up the street

Painted Dunes Desert Golf Course, a 27-hole public course with recognition from Golf Digest, Texas Golfer, and the USGA, sits a few minutes up McCombs.

Chuck Heinrich Park inside the neighborhood

The city's Chuck Heinrich Park anchors the southwest corner of North Hills, and it is home to the memorial honoring El Paso's fallen law-enforcement officers.

The US 54 commute

North Hills sits where Martin Luther King Boulevard meets US 54, a straight run to Fort Bliss, the airport, and downtown. It has been a commuter neighborhood for the post for decades, and part of it has served as Army-leased family housing.

An established-home checklist

Because most homes here date to the 1990s and early 2000s, it is worth checking the age of the roof, HVAC, and water heater the way you would in any established neighborhood. Plenty of homes have been updated; the inspection tells you which.
