An upscale suburb minutes from downtown

High Range is appropriately named, given its hilly streets and mountain views, near miles of green fairways at the Sonoma Ranch Golf Course. “The Sonoma Ranch area is considered the nicest in Las Cruces,” says Raul Tellez, lifelong Las Cruces resident and Owner/Realtor with Select Realty Las Cruces. “It's luxurious, well-maintained, and only about 5 miles from Downtown Main Street.” The neighborhood's main thoroughfare, Roadrunner Parkway, connects residents to the rest of Las Cruces, while the Organ Mountains provide a scenic backdrop for the neighborhood's late 20th-century and early 21st-century Southwestern architecture.

Southwestern suburb with comparatively affordable homes

Branching off Roadrunner Parkway, winding residential streets are lined with three-to-four-bedroom Mediterranean- and Pueblo Revival-style homes built between the 1980s and 2000s; attached garages are standard, stucco exteriors are painted shades of beige, orange and light brown to blend with the desert landscape, and low-water landscaping includes succulents and gravel. “It’s a great place for first-time homebuyers. The cost of living is low and so is the price per square-foot compared to most cities," says Jamie Edwards, Associate Broker and Realtor with EXIT Realty Horizons in Las Cruces. The neighborhood's two-to-four-bedroom homes range from 2,000 to 4,000 square feet, and prices range from $350,000 to $750,000. "While a lot of the homes here are large, though, folks should make sure to get a thorough home inspection before buying out here. Make sure no corners were cut in order to make the homes more affordable.”

Roadrunner parkway leads to nearby cities

North Roadrunner Parkway connects High Range with the rest of Las Cruces. It merges with Interstate 10, leading west to El Paso, Texas in about 45 miles. The Mesilla Valley Intermodal Transit Terminal is half a mile south of the neighborhood, and RoadRUNNER Transit has 8 bus routes throughout the city.

Arid weather means dust ordinances in place

Las Cruces' dry desert climate and the city's proximity to the Rio Grande and surrounding desert landscapes contribute to the presence of dust in the environment. The City of Las Cruces has put ordinances in place in attempt to control dust measures, such as requiring construction sites to implement dust-reducing practices and enforcing fines for excessive dust emissions.
