Sunset Heights is a historic area in El Paso, Texas that has existed since the latter part of the 1890s.

An organization, the Sunset Heights Improvement Association, helps neighbors on a fixed income to manage home maintenance and also sponsors an annual tour.

[3] The name, "Sunset Heights," was given to the area in 1901, after the El Paso Herald held a contest for the best name for the neighborhood.

[citation needed] The neighborhood was designated as a historic district in 1984, with the help of John Karr.

[citation needed] Residents are zoned to the El Paso Independent School District.
