Nearby Communities

Rio Rancho
A planned community less than 30 years old, the city is enjoying explosive growth and phenomenal economic development, mainly rooted in the recent expansion of the Intel Corporation microchip plant there. Rio Rancho's popularity has increased of late, in part to its independent school system, and newly constructed high schools and the city's focus on becoming a wireless community. Rio Rancho is truly forward thinking. Housing of all price ranges is now available, providing opportunities for older homes or new homes. The Rio Rancho Country Club with its golf course and swimming pool has recently undergone a complete renovation.

Placitas
Many properties in Placitas offer with more land, bigger homes, continuity of architectural style (the community embraces Pueblo and Territorial building styles), a bit more distance from the city, and overall higher prices. an almost hour-long ride. Call World Balloon Corporation (505-293-6800), the fiesta's exclusive ride concessionaire. Besides taking an aerial jaunt, people wanting to do more than watch and partake of the food offerings can get involved by joining a balloon chase crew. The fiesta has a committee set up to handle the crews. To sign up, or to get information on the fiesta, call 505-821-1000. It has the convenience of a small commercial area containing an art gallery, a convenience store, a post office, an outstanding restaurant, and little else.

East Mountain Areas
Outside the city, the East Mountain area is gaining popularity with people who seek a more rural, scenic, and secluded alternative to city living. Communities such as Tijeras and Cedar Crest both feature cozy, neighborly atmospheres, easy commuter access to I-40, and green surroundings of tall-trees and soft grasslands.

Bosque Farms/Las Lunas
Two smaller towns just minutes away from Albuquerque off South I-25 which are rapidly gaining popularity as bedroom communities for Albuquerque commuters. For those who want to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and savor a more simple way of life these communities are hard to match.
