Thriving master-planned community in western Los Lunas
About 24 miles south of downtown Albuquerque, the master-planned community of West Los Lunas has “really taken off with new development in the last 20 years,” says Samantha Sais, marketing director with Jubilee Homes. “People move here from Colorado for the weather and from L.A. because traffic is easier.” Many of the neighborhood’s nearly 5,000 residents work for Facebook’s data center or Kirtland Air Force Base; single-family homes harmonize with the area’s natural landscape, and nearby trails offer an escape from a busy workday.
West Los Lunas sprawls a vast section of land with lots of scenic beauty.

Hiking trails and pickleball
“Residents are always commenting on how quiet and peaceful it is here. You have all these beautiful hiking trails that wind through the El Cerro de Los Lunas Preserve right from the neighborhood. And the views of the Rio Grande River Valley are amazing,” says Sais. With popular Huning Ranch Park sitting just south of Highway 6, it’s easy to walk or bike over for an afternoon pickleball game; folks can also exercise on the playground equipment here.

Blustery spring winds
“Every spring, we have what’s called ‘march madness’ here, which has nothing to do with basketball,” says David Duerksen, associate broker for Simply Real Estate, who grew up in the area. “It’s when the winds ramp up – they can get as high as 60 to 80 miles an hour, and will definitely blow buds right off your flowers. We also have mild winters, so we’ll see snowbirds come and stay.”
West Los Lunas is one of the fastest growing communities in New Mexico.
