Situated about 8 miles from downtown Las Cruces, Hacienda Acres is a peaceful suburb with large lots and views of the Organ Mountains. “The homes are a little older, but it’s a desirable area,” says Manny Patino, a Realtor with Patino Real Estate who’s sold homes in Las Cruces for 12 years. “It’s less busy, with less traffic.” Highway 70 provides convenient access to Las Cruces, and grocery stores and restaurants are just outside of the neighborhood. The East Mesa Bataan Memorial Pool keeps locals cool in the summer, and Sage Café offers activities for area seniors.

Ranch-style homes on half-acre lots
Built between 1970 and the late ‘90s, Hacienda Acres’ ranch-style homes sit along narrow, sidewalk-less streets with views of the Organ Mountains. Half-acre lots allow for backyard workshops and kids’ playsets, and landscaping consists mainly of low-maintenance, desert-hardy plants. Houses typically have brick or stucco exteriors, and many are surrounded by low stone walls or chain-link fences. Paved driveways often lead to attached one-car garages, and there are gravel shoulders for on-street parking. Homes here rarely hit the market, but three sold in 2024; prices ranged from around $225,000 to $315,000, depending on size, which ranged from roughly 1,400 to 1,800 square feet. Low-rise apartments are found near Highway 70.
