Santa Teresa

Santa Teresa is in the far south of Doña Ana County, beside the Texas line and a short drive from west El Paso. This page also takes in the neighboring city of Sunland Park. The area has grown with the Santa Teresa port of entry, the rail yard and the industrial parks around them.

Housing here is mostly new. Much of what is for sale at any time has just been built or is under construction, in planned subdivisions such as Rancho Santa Teresa and the Valencia neighborhoods. Homes are typically three or four bedrooms, between 1,600 and 2,000 square feet, on lots of about an eighth of an acre.

Prices are generally lower than in Las Cruces, and few homes here reach $500,000. Those that do are larger homes in the older part of Santa Teresa, some on bigger lots.

Most subdivisions have no homeowner association, though some do.

West El Paso’s shopping and employers are minutes away, and El Paso International Airport is closer from here than from Las Cruces. Las Cruces is about forty miles north.
