Rural community close to the Rio Grande and Interstate 25
About 30 miles south of downtown Albuquerque, and 5 miles north of the city of Belen, the master-planned community of Los Chavez offers country living not far from major thoroughfares. “Living in Los Chavez, you’re really close to I-25 which is so convenient if you work in Albuquerque. But then you get to come home to a much larger lot. Right in the city, the lots are smaller,” says Crystal Sadowski, Realtor with Realty One of New Mexico. “And folks love living here because they’re right by the Rio Grande.” Many of the neighborhood’s 6,800 residents work at Albuquerque’s Facebook data center, or in Belen’s Historic Arts & Cultural District, home to art studios, bookstores and a museum; locals spend leisure time at nearby parks, line dancing or attending classes at the First Baptist Church of Los Chavez.
Los Chavez is a quaint neighborhood filled with lots of all shapes and sizes.
Located not far from I-25 Los Chavez residents can easily head into Albuquerque.
