Where to Find One-Story Homes
Single-level homes are available across every quadrant of El Paso. These areas have the highest concentration and best selection.
Westside
The Westside has one of the highest concentrations of single-story homes in El Paso. Ranch-style properties from the 1970s through 2000s dominate neighborhoods like Coronado Hills, Mesa Hills, and the Redd Road corridor. Many feature open floor plans, large backyards, and attached two-car garages. Proximity to I-10 and the medical district makes this area popular with retirees and healthcare professionals.
Northeast / Fort Bliss
The Northeast corridor offers a strong selection of one-story homes, especially in established neighborhoods along Diana Drive, Dyer Street, and the McCombs area. Many were built for military families who prefer single-level living. Price points are competitive, and proximity to Fort Bliss and William Beaumont Army Medical Center adds convenience for active-duty and retired military.
Far East (79936/79938)
Newer master-planned communities in the Far East are building single-story options to meet growing demand. Builders like Hakes Brothers and Pacifica Homes offer ranch-style floor plans with modern open-concept layouts, energy-efficient features, and ADA-friendly designs. Eastlake and Pebble Hills both have single-story inventory.
Central El Paso
Central El Paso is rich with classic single-story homes, many built in the 1950s-1970s with solid brick or adobe construction. Neighborhoods around Cielo Vista, Bassett, and the Airport area offer some of the most affordable one-story options in the city. These homes often sit on larger lots and are ideal for buyers who want character, space, and a central location.
Why One-Story
Benefits of Single-Level Living
One-story homes offer practical advantages that translate to lower costs, easier living, and stronger resale value.
Accessibility & Aging in Place
One-story homes eliminate stairs entirely, making them ideal for seniors, individuals with mobility challenges, and families planning to age in place. No stairs means easier movement throughout the home, safer navigation, and simpler modifications like grab bars and wider doorways if needed in the future.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Single-story homes are easier and cheaper to maintain. Exterior painting, gutter cleaning, roof repairs, and window washing all cost less when there is no second story to scaffold. HVAC systems run more efficiently in single-level layouts because heat and cool air distribute more evenly across one floor.
Larger Lot Footprints
To achieve the same square footage as a two-story home, a one-story home requires a larger lot. This often means bigger backyards, more outdoor living space, and room for additions. In El Paso, where outdoor living is a lifestyle, that extra yard space is a significant advantage.
Strong Resale Demand
One-story homes consistently sell faster than multi-story homes in El Paso. The buyer pool is wider because they appeal to retirees, families with young children, VA buyers, and anyone who prefers single-level living. This broad demand translates to stronger resale value and shorter days on market.
