Custom Homes in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque
A village of its own in Albuquerque’s North Valley, with green fields, old cottonwoods and lavender, and the rest of the city close by.
Building in Los Ranchos
Los Ranchos de Albuquerque is its own village, with its own zoning, in the middle of the North Valley. Lots here tend to be larger and greener than in the city, and many sit near the irrigation ditches that have watered the valley for generations.
That is a lovely place to build, and a place where details matter. We check the village rules, the access and the water on your lot before you commit, as part of a lot evaluation.
Before You Buy or Build
What to Know Before You Build in Los Ranchos
Village Zoning
Los Ranchos sets its own zoning, separate from the City of Albuquerque. We read the village rules against your lot and your plans before design starts.
Ditches and Easements
Many valley lots sit along irrigation ditches. Ditch access and easements can shape where a home, a drive or a wall can go, so Scott checks the site plan early.
Close to Everything
