Picacho Hills sits on a hillside west of the Rio Grande, about 6 to 7 miles from downtown Las Cruces, rising above the older Picacho community and the Mesilla Valley. From here the views run across the valley floor to the Organ Mountains, and city lights stretch out below at night. It's a planned community and census-designated place built around the Picacho Hills Country Club, with a population of just under 1,900 at the 2020 census.
Homes and Lifestyle
Homes in Picacho Hills tend toward custom and semi-custom builds with Southwestern, Pueblo and Territorial styling, larger lots and outdoor living spaces designed around the view. Golf course frontage and view lots are the most sought after. The country club offers golf and a clubhouse, and the community's quiet streets and open desert make it popular with retirees, professionals and buyers who want space without going fully rural. Some sections are gated.
Location and Daily Life
Picacho Hills has a Las Cruces 88007 address and is served by Las Cruces Public Schools. Getting into town is straightforward via US-70 / Picacho Avenue, with I-10 nearby for trips to El Paso.
