Ask where Northeast stands in El Paso and the answer is nearly always the middle. It comes third of five for home value, third for rent and third for the share of older housing, so no single figure pulls it toward either end of the city. Owners estimate $161,000, 13% below El Paso as a whole, yet the number towers over Central's $133,000 and trails Northwest's $265,000 by a wide gap. East, which touches it as well, comes in at $191,000. Tenants pay $1,100, a few dollars above the El Paso level of $1,073. Ownership matches the city to the decimal at 60.8%, so the sector is no more owner-heavy than El Paso overall, and it lies on the north side of town. The typical dwelling was built in 1983, and 46% of the housing was standing before 1980, a share well above East's 30.5% and well below Central's 78.1%.
