El Paso... well... has been in an economic boom since NAFTA, and is showing the effects.
There is a split between rich and poor parts of the city which are more definitive than any other city I've seen (I've been to pretty much every City between CA-TX, TX-Canada). The poor parts of the city you can not distinguish between the Mexican side. The rich parts are beautiful.
It gets humid for being in the desert, but you will get used to it. Cost of living is rediculously low, and you're right on the border so visiting Mexico for whatever reason doesnt even require all day (though dont take your car past the border). Spanish speaking is not a "must," but making friends with those that do is.
If you have any other questions just let me know.
