What I like about the city of Rio Rancho in New Mexico, U.S.A.

This is just my biased opinion.

My wife and I have been living here in Rio Rancho since 2008 and we just love this city.

Here are just a few of the thing we like about this place:

Rio Rancho is the third largest city in New Mexico  (after Albuquerque and Las Cruces)  with a population of about 100,000.

But being such a fairly large city, there are no tall buildings here.

The beautiful and majestic Sandia Mountains are always prominently visible to the east.

Rio Rancho is very spacious.  In area size, it’s more than half of the entire area of the city of Albuquerque, with only one-sixth of Albuquerque’s population.

Rio Rancho is not a flat city.  Rio Rancho has a diversity of topography.  It has areas with nice hills as well as areas with great desert atmosphere.   Part of the city even touches the Rio Grande, with pretty riverside beaches.

There is no such a thing here as downtown, unlike other cities.

Rio Rancho is one of the safest places to live in New Mexico, as far as we are concerned.

The civic center and the city hall are located in an open space area, and are never crowded.

There are also plenty of nice, small neighborhood malls with plenty of amenities.

These are just some of the positive things about this city.

I hope you enjoyed my short presentation.

  1. Rio Rancho looks like a beautiful community. You have shared photos from the vantage of your home wherein the snow capped Sandia mountains are you back drop and the views are fantastic. I hope I get to visit the area someday. Believe it or not I still occasionally skate board (something I’ve done for 46+ years) on a “Longboard”, that said, Albuquerque is home of the Indian School Ditch, the longest most pristine (and mostly legal) skate-able drainage canal drawing people from all over the world for the annual “Ditch Slap” event, which can easily be found on YouTube!
