River’s Edge enjoys a convenient spot by the Rio Grande River
In River’s Edge, modern homes stand on the cusp of a couple of New Mexico’s natural wonders. Located beside the Rio Grande River and in sight of the Sandia Mountains, this Rio Rancho neighborhood combines access to outdoor attractions with commercial convenience. Residents are minutes from trails, water access, restaurants and shopping. “Probably one of the biggest draws is the views of the mountains from some of the homes,” says Audra Dodson, a local Realtor with Kellogg Agency Sales, who has eight years of industry experience. “Some of the homes back up to the [Rio Rancho Bosque Preserve], which has a walking trail that abuts the Rio Grande River." The neighborhood also has easy highway access, which Dodson says is a plus for anyone wanting to live in Rio Rancho but who works in Santa Fe.
River's Edge offers may great amenities for its families.

Many in the area are close enough to walk to Rio Vista Park, a 3-acre green space within River’s Edge II. Rio Vista features a playground, a dog park and a skate park. The 3-acre Trailhead Park has a playground and is accessible via the North Beach Bosque and Bosque trails behind the homes in River’s Edge I. The Rio Rancho Bosque Preserve unfurls between Rio Vista and Trailhead parks. It features trails that take visitors to areas by the Rio Grande River, including Trailhead Beach and Siphon Beach. “There are a lot of cyclists along there, just because the trail does go for quite a few miles,” Dodson says.
