A master-planned community growing since the 1990s
The master-planned community of Enchanted Hills is in Rio Rancho, west of the Rio Grande River. To the east, the Sandia Mountains are on display. "The City of Vision," as Rio Rancho is called, has grown over the decades and continues to expand. The development of Enchanted Hills started in the late 1990s, though homes are still being added in the 2020s. "It's mostly filled in, and what's not filled in yet, the developers are looking at," says Dagna Altheide, an associate broker with Realty One of New Mexico. "Many, many of the homes, if they are facing the right direction, have expansive views," Altheide says.
There's some architectural variety in Enchanted Hills
Enchanted Hills has flat-roofed Pueblo-style architecture and contemporaries, seen with shingled roofing and stonework or brick. Some homes incorporate Mediterranean elements, like columned archways and clay tile roofs. Homes sell in the mid $200,000s to $500,000s, with square footage and age typically accounting for the range. Various homebuilders have added to Enchanted Hills, bringing homeowners associations with them. "Enchanted Hills is a little bit more confined than some other developments; you'd probably end up with a few more covenants and restrictions now that it's nearly fully developed," Altheide says. "It's been bought up by almost every developer. They have a few lots left, but you're sandwiched in between the HOAs."Front yards have drought-tolerant plants and hardscaping beside tidy sidewalks. Though Enchanted Hills is not a gated community, many streets are short, curved or have cul-de-sacs, reducing traffic. Additionally, the CAP Index Crime Score in Enchanted Hills is 2 out of 10; the national average is 4.
Homes in Enchanted Hills keep a Southwestern style across the neighborhood.
