I spent over 10 years stationed at Fort Bliss/ El Paso area. Fort Bliss is a modern post with everything you need, from commissary to brand name stores and restaurants. The post is divided into two areas, East Bliss which is where 1AD is and Main Bliss where you will find most of the facilities I mentioned above. However, East Bliss does have three gas stations and shoppettes and nice foodcourt near the main gym/aquatics center, which also has a bank and the USO. El Paso is divided in three main areas West side, North East and East side. If you plan to live off post, I would recommend to look into the North East of town, driving to and from work is much easier. East El Paso has new homes, which is nice, but the traffic can be really bad going to and from post. If you like Mexican food, you will never get tired of trying new places, people are nice and friendly. Finally, if you are out of post in uniform, more often then not people will come to you to thank you for your service. Many times the nice people of El Paso even paid for my meal at restaurants without me even knowing it. Good luck in the Sun City.

If you want don’t want to be bothered but still a short drive to anything I’d look at moving to Mesquite Hills. Its up north close to the TX/NM hoarder but super quite. There is tons of things to do too just got to explore.

Don't know about your duties but there is a lot to do in El Paso and the surrounding states.
