Rio Rancho/Albuquerque Cookie Cutter?

[andersongirls5]

After owning a home in an older non cookie cutter neighborhood for the past 8 years I'm looking forward to living in a cookie cutter neighborhood.

Eventually urbanites that want to escape the big city and move
to Albuquerque will want what they had in these cities, cool modern
new homes. It is very difficult to find, but there are pockets-
downtown, Rio Grande and Indian School (Mananitas) Altura park,
UNM, Los Ranchos (Rincones) but they don't advertise, so you
need to drive around and see what is going on. Albuquerque has always
been behind the rest of the nation-about 10years behind. Some people
LIKE track homes or "cookie" cutter, and LOTS of tuscan style homes
especially in the far NE that eventually people will not want any longer.
These neighborhoods have infrastructure, but no "edge"

Sure they do, get the Albuquerque Journal on Saturday (or is it Sunday), when they are all advertisiting, or find a good Real Estate agent/broker. Or just search the above in google.com.

The Rincones division in Los Ranchos only built 15 homes, the one I saw was $970,000. I can not afford that. So in the 90's I bought two homes in the $130,000 range. Both large developments, one in Rio Rancho and one in Albuqueruqe...


If you want and can afford a $900,000 home, then you can find them. With today's computers and the Internet, what might have taken me a few weeks can be done in a day.

And a reminder, we do not allow listings here...
