Ventana Ranch: one of New Mexico’s largest master-planned communities
Ventana Ranch is a thoughtfully designed suburb in the northwest outskirts of Albuquerque, otherwise surrounded by a flat expanse of New Mexico desert. “It’s one of the largest master-planned communities in the state,” says Leigh-Jo Anzures, a real estate broker with Syan Real Estate, which specializes in the Ventana Ranch communities. “It’s really uniquely designed. It’s not a square box. The streets curve and rotate around,” he says, referring to the four-leaf clover-like shape residential streets form around the community center. Residents gather at the center and its pool during the warmer months, while various homeowners associations (HOAs) maintain the neighborhood’s smaller green spaces.
Ventana Ranch welcomes families to its friendly neighborhood.
The Ventana Ranch community center includes a pool, tennis court, and more in Ventana Ranch.

New traditional stucco homes belong to the Ventana Ranch HOA
Most properties belong to HOAs with $75 quarterly fees that grant residents access to the private Ventana Ranch Community Center and Pool. New traditional homes with tuck-under garages built around the turn of the last century in sandy shades of stucco make up the earth-toned streetscapes of the neighborhood. Homes with brick veneer or blocky, Pueblo-style architecture are sprinkled throughout as well. Most come with paved patios and private, fenced backyards, ranging from $300,000 to $450,000. Rambling estates built after 2000 cover close to an acre of land in southeast Ventana Ranch. These homes feature generous outdoor living spaces and the occasional in-ground pool, fetching between $725,000 and $1 million.
Desert tone stucco homes are a hallmark of Ventana Ranch.
Mediterranean homes can also be found in Ventana Ranch.

Private community pool and public art in Ventana Ranch Park
Members of the Ventana Ranch Homeowners Association can enjoy the basketball court, sand volleyball court, in-ground pool and kiddie pool at the Ventana Ranch Community Center and Pool. A picnic table shaded by a wooden pergola and the grassy open lawn near it lend themselves to outdoor gatherings. “That’s the place to be in the summertime,” Anzures says. Ventana Ranch Park is a public space with an expansive, verdant field bisected by a stark white walking path and an art installation—You Are Here consists of five steel window frames in various shades of blue. The park’s 12 tennis courts are also striped for pickleball, though the green space is slated to receive new, dedicated pickleball courts in 2025. Several other green spaces and playgrounds dot the rest of Ventana Ranch.

Albuquerque Westside Summerfest in Ventana Ranch Park
Ventana Ranch Park is also the setting for Westside Summerfest, the neighborhood’s rendition of a city-wide concert series that celebrates the end of summer. Local bands take center stage, while kid-friendly activities, food trucks, a microbrew beer garden and an artisan market provide the rest of the entertainment.
Fast food options, Little Anita’s New Mexican and colorful paletas
Shopping centers in southeast Ventana Ranch provide residents with several dining options. Blake’s Lotaburger, Dion’s Pizza and Dutch Bros Coffee offer quick, casual meals, while the Ventana Square shopping center is home to a few local spots. Little Anita’s New Mexican Foods is a locally owned chain, and its menu hasn’t changed in the last four decades. It serves the staples of New Mexican cuisine, including breakfast burritos, which its website claims it introduced to Albuquerque in the 1970s. Next door, a colorful array of paletas—or Mexican popsicle bars—and a variety of toppings are neatly lined up in a glass case at The Paleta Bar. A Smith’s grocery store is less than 5 miles from the neighborhood.

Neighborhood bike trails and proximity to major local thoroughfares
Ventana Ranch is etched with trails that pass between houses and connect to the community’s several green spaces. “They’re pretty wide and they weave throughout the community,” Anzures says. “It’s pretty common to see people walking their pets on them, jogging or cycling.” Paseo Del Norte Boulevard runs along the southern side of the neighborhood, connecting it to the eastern side of the city. Rainbow and Universe boulevards are two more major thoroughfares in the neighborhood, and they both connect to Unser Boulevard south of Ventana Ranch. Unser Boulevard intersects with Interstate 40, which commuters can use to reach downtown, about 13 miles away.
Ventana Ranch features miles of paved walkways and path for residents.
Downtown Albuquerque is 13 miles away from Ventana Ranch.
