Hacienda Acres Home for Rent

Hacienda Acres in Las Cruces features ranch-style homes built between 1970 and the late ‘90s, characterized by brick or stucco exteriors and low-maintenance, desert-hardy landscaping. These homes, often on half-acre lots, provide ample space for backyard workshops and playsets, with many properties surrounded by low stone walls or chain-link fences. The neighborhood’s narrow, sidewalk-less streets offer views of the Organ Mountains, and paved driveways typically lead to attached one-car garages. Low-rise apartments are situated near Highway 70. Local highlights include the East Mesa Bataan Memorial Pool/Mini Park, open seasonally with a waterslide and swimming pool, and the East Mesa Recreation Center, which features a public park, outdoor gym, and basketball court. Dining options include Los Mariachis for Mexican cuisine and Pizza Palazzo for Chicago-style pizzas, with grocery needs met by Chavira’s, which also has a taqueria. Big-box stores like Sam’s Club and Lowe’s Home Improvement are about 6 miles away. Downtown Las Cruces, 8 miles from the neighborhood, hosts the Farmers and Crafts Market every Saturday and the Las Cruces Chile Drop on New Year’s Eve. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, with Roadrunner bus stops and bike lanes on Bataan Memorial Road providing convenient transportation. Local schools include the highly rated Sonoma Elementary and Camino Real Middle, while Organ Mountain High offers unique programs like a planetarium.
