About Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Rio Rancho was developed as Rio Rancho Estates by developer AMREP in the 60’s and 70’s. AMREP developed 91,000+ acres of New Mexico Land northwest of Albuquerque and marketed it as a retirement community to people mainly in the eastern US. Rio Rancho Land is platted into approximately 112,000 home sites and commercial lots. During the 60’s and 70’s AMREP sold more than 75,000 lots in “Rio Rancho Estates” to thousands of individuals throughout the country.

Rio Rancho is now the fastest growing city in New Mexico and is dubbed the "City of Vision". Rio Rancho has a population of over 70,000. The City of Rio Rancho planners made a decision a few years ago to build a new "Downtown" and chose a parcel of Real Estate in the middle of Rio Rancho. The new Rio Rancho “City Centre” will be a modern and dynamic downtown and already has a state of the art Arena (Santa Ana Star Center), the Rio Rancho City Hall, and will soon have the CNM (Community College) and UNM Campus, and a full service UNM Hospital.

The Rio Rancho Real Estate market is dynamic and complex as land is plentiful. Rio Rancho lots can start at $3,000 for a ½ acre, but “buildable” lots close to services will range from $30000 to $150000 depending on location and availability of utilities. Rio Rancho Homes are some of the best values in the metro Albuquerque area. Some of the nicest master planned communities in New Mexico, including Cabazon and Loma Colorado, are in Rio Rancho. With the great amenities to community offers; Rio Rancho is a great place to call home!

With the cooler Indian summer really just around the corner, the thought of roasting green chile filling the air around us practically makes our mouths water and our sinuses dream about the approaching roasting season. The upcoming green chile harvest for 2009 is predicted to be one of the best seasons yet. It’s not quite time for the best chile, although we’ve seen some garden markets already promoting chile roasting. We’re all looking forward to what appears to be an awesome chile season for the state of New Mexico. We want send out a hearty congratulation to our hard working farmers of New Mexico for a job well done. Thank You!
