There's some architectural variety in Enchanted Hills
Enchanted Hills has flat-roofed Pueblo-style architecture and contemporaries, seen with shingled roofing and stonework or brick. Some homes incorporate Mediterranean elements, like columned archways and clay tile roofs. Homes sell in the mid $200,000s to $500,000s, with square footage and age typically accounting for the range. Various homebuilders have added to Enchanted Hills, bringing homeowners associations with them. "Enchanted Hills is a little bit more confined than some other developments; you'd probably end up with a few more covenants and restrictions now that it's nearly fully developed," Altheide says. "It's been bought up by almost every developer. They have a few lots left, but you're sandwiched in between the HOAs."Front yards have drought-tolerant plants and hardscaping beside tidy sidewalks. Though Enchanted Hills is not a gated community, many streets are short, curved or have cul-de-sacs, reducing traffic. Additionally, the CAP Index Crime Score in Enchanted Hills is 2 out of 10; the national average is 4.

Mountain View Park and Enchanted Hills Park both have playgrounds and walking paths. Enchanted Hills Path is a dog-friendly trail that runs through Mountain View Park. On the other side of U.S. 550, there's the Santa Ana Golf Club, affiliated with the Santa Ana Pueblo, a tribal community about 6 miles from Enchanted Hills. The club has bookable tee times and hosts the Native American Open. Dining options at the club include the Wind Dancer Bar & Grill and the Prairie Star Restaurant, housed in a 100-plus-year-old adobe structure. Santa Ana's sister establishment, Twin Warriors Golf Club, is nearby.Altheide says hot-air ballooning is a pastime many people in Rio Rancho participate in. Rainbow Park, a balloon-launching site, is about 13 miles southwest of Enchanted Hills.The Turquoise Desert Taproom and THE BLOCK
A commercial center to the southeast around Enchanted Hills Boulevard Northeast and SR-528 has an Albertson's Market and assorted businesses. One of these, the Turquoise Desert Taproom, has a sports bar vibe and a from-scratch menu. The Plaza at Enchanted Hills features THE BLOCK, a venue known for outdoor dining and events. "There's really nice, fresh food there in the open-air food market," Altheide says. THE BLOCK's calendar includes trivia, comedy shows, live music and pop-up markets. The HUB community center at the plaza has a library, pickleball courts, fitness classes and a variety of programs.Rio Rancho Events like the Mayor's Sunday Funday
In August, the Mayor's Sunday Funday is a big event held at Haynes Park, about 11 miles away. Family friendly entertainment, food and activities are part of the fun.
