When the early settlers first arrived in the 1700's, they were looking for a unique opportunity, a once in a lifetime chance to discover an undiscovered place to call home. Although originally a farming community and military outpost, Albququerque quickly became a tidy southwestern town and by 1900, it had all the modern day amenities for its time, including an electric street railway. Now fast forward to today and we still have a thriving city that is considered one of the fastest growing cities in the entire nation! Constant movie productions, big businesses are breaking ground, an international balloon fiesta and much more and it is all expected to grow and continue in this opportune direction.

With incredible growth, however, comes less land for development, limited open spaces and ultimately less privacy. At present and in the future, when it comes to settling down and finding a place to live in the middle Rio Grande area, the option for enjoying certain urban amenities like paved roads, community water, and even sidewalks have been restricted to those living inside the city. Those living outside the city are all too accustomed to un-maintained dirt roads, individual water wells, and no streets/sidewalks ect. But now a one-of-a-kind development that is a first in its class while pioneering a future lifestyle in the mountains has emerged. It is called Las Leyendas, an exciting new masterplanned community in the mountains with a rolling meadowland where homes are nestled in wooded cul-de-sacs with paved streets, curbs and sidewalks. While it seems very city-like, it is all the while in the midst of miles of equestrian trails surrounding it borders by day and a big starry skies overcoming the heavens as far as the eye can see at night!

Upon arriving in Las Leyendas, you are greeted by a beautifully landscaped entrance with medians and a grand well-lit monument sign proudly bearing the Las Leyendas name and community crest. You quickly discover this is a unique place where views of the Sandias, the Sangre De Cristos, and the Jemez mountains are commonplace in every direction. Imagine living in a home just 20 minutes outside of Albuquerque that is the culmination of a master planned development that offers all city amenities such as paved streets, maintained water utilities, curbs, underground utilities and much, much more! This is all in addition to providing perhaps the biggest exclusive benefit that only Las Leyendas offers which is the serenity, the privacy ,and the peacefulness of a home huddled in the mountains with city-like infrastructure. It's rural but urban, yet quiet with no traffic. Calm. Peaceful.
