Homes and Lifestyle
Homes for sale in Las Alturas and on the South Mesa are mostly custom-built, on lots that often run from half an acre to several acres. Styles lean Southwestern, Pueblo and territorial, with courtyards, portals and big windows set to catch the view. Because the land rises above the valley, many homes look west over pecan orchards and city lights and east to the Organ Mountains. Buyers will also find vacant lots for building and a few properties set up for horses.
Location and Daily Life
Las Alturas Drive runs along the east side of I-10 and links to University Avenue and the I-10 and I-25 interchange in a few minutes. NMSU, the NMSU Golf Course and the shops on University Avenue are close, and Tortugas Mountain, known locally as "A" Mountain, has popular hiking and biking trails. I-10 makes the drive south to El Paso and Santa Teresa direct.
Nearby Neighborhoods
Buyers looking here often compare Telshor & the Foothills and Soledad Canyon & Talavera for east-side views, Picacho Hills for hillside homes across the valley, and the University District for a location nearer campus.
