I wish there was some control over where RVs, boats, and big rigs are parked. Some folks with smaller lots tend to wedge an RV in front of the house blocking most of their road frontage. It's a bit obnoxious.
In 2008 the Rio Rancho City Council voted unanimously to adopt an amended ordinance that allows truckers to park their rigs behind their houses if there is room, build walls or use landscaping to hide their trucks. Privately owned vehicles were not affected.
Here is an article which gives some good background:
News : Truck parking ordinance stalled again - Rio Rancho Observer (http://www.observer-online.com/articles/2007/11/30/news/news1.txt - broken link)
I have to admit, in my neighborhood, the bulk of the offending vehicles are RVs and travel trailers (which never seem to get any use). The few truckers in the area seem to abide by the ordinance for the most part.

I do not have either but have been considering buying one or both for 20+ years. I would never really get full use, and I have borrowed from the family in the past.
I used to think I would never enjoy living in a HOA community, however have now changed how I feel based on where I live (Loma Colorado subdivsion). The HOA is quite lengthy in rules, but after reviewing them thoroughly prior to signing a contract (as I would expect anyone to do, so I don't get people who complain about their HOA rules, if they read them and didn't like them then don't move there), I didn't see anything that would affect the way I want to live and keep my property. And never having to worry about a neighbor parking a 30ft RV next to my house is a good thing.
Hello! I'm new to this forum but I read everything I can find about RR since I consider moving my family with 2 school age kids there next year. This post is a bit old but I'd like to get some feedback on music programs in pre-schools / elementary schools. I live in NJ and I teach my own music enrichment program on pull-out basis in couple of local pre-schools. I would love to have such an opportunity in RR but have no idea if there would be any interest among school directors / parents. Can anyone here address my concerns? Thank you for any information. Monika

Monica, Welcome to City-Data!
We have lived in Rio Rancho for about eleven years. We have had children and grand children attend all the grades and one in college in Rio Rancho, but I really do not have a specific answer to your question.
The Rio Rancho Public Library’s has a variety of children programs such as:
Quote:
Jiggle and Jam Mondays, 10:30 a.m.
March 7 - March 28 Loma Colorado Main Library A music and movement program for kids up to age 5 and their parents and caregivers. Use simple instruments, play with a parachute, and shake those sillies out!
To be fair, the dust and dirt issue on windy days is worse in the newer or developing areas of the Westside. The reason being there is a lot of bare and freshly moved ground that can be disturbed by the wind. You're right in that parts of Albuquerque have to deal with this too. I have firsthand experience with sand storms in the Central and 98th St. area, for instance. I've also seen stories about people in the northwest part of Albuquerque complaining about developers not doing more to keep the wind from blowing away the top soil off newly graded subdivision lots. Therefore, don't you think this is less of an issue in the more established areas of Albuquerque, and even some parts of Rio Rancho, especially those where you'll see more grass and hedges than bare dirt?
