The subdivision of Rio Del Oro (RDO) provides a great opportunity to own investment property just 25 miles south of Albuquerque, in scenic central New Mexico. Already a suburb of Albuquerque, this subdivision has explosive growth and development potential.

RDO is professionally managed by the Valley Improvement Association (wonderful people who believe in this development). They have put together Strategic Development Plan. Please click here to review the document. (Adobe Reader Required). This document is very informative.

A few years ago developers purchased over 600 acres in what was then units 46, 55 & 57 of RDO, consolidated and re-plated the lots and successfully completed two subdivisions; Las Maravillas and Pasitos del Cielo. proving market demand. This auction is for a lot in unit . Due to this demand, an additional subdivision is currently being developed in Unit 19. For details regarding these subdivisions please click here. Homes sell for approximately $115,000 in these areas.

We believe this lot provides an excellent short to long-term investment in an area that has all of the conveniences of an urban development but located in a private and rural like setting.

The open countryside, with its native grasses, wildflowers and the nearby Manzano Mountains towering over 10,000 feet, provide a picturesque backdrop to the property. Located in the Cibola National Forest, the Manzano Mountain Wilderness covers nearly 37,000 acres, encompasses most of the mountain with incredible hiking, cross country skiing and an abundance of wildlife.

A short distance from the subdivision, you’ll find a golf course and just off the interstate is the entrance to the Senator Willie M. Chavez State Park. Nearby conveniences include a Wal-Mart (and a Wal-Mart distribution Center), Senior Center, shopping centers, churches, hospital, library, gas stations, grocery stores the Tierra Del Sol Country Club and Golf Course, the University of New Mexico Valencia Campus, and the Resort and Casino in Isleta located about 25 miles from the property. For a list of area employers please click here.

With an elevation of 5,060 feet, the climate couldn’t be better. The winters and summers are mild with summer temperatures in the 70’s and 80’s and mild winter highs in the 40’s and 50’s. Clear skies and lots of sunshine make this an attractive investment property. There are about 350 sunny days annually which lends itself well for future development.

Rio Del Oro is a very large under-developed community. The main population of the area is along the I-25 corridor and the Rio Grande River. The Rio Communities lie to the east of this main corridor (see maps below). There are scattered subdivisions throughout this area and there are other areas of no development. There are many nice homes in the already developed areas.

This area is rapidly growing in value and popularity. Valencia County's population has grown an unbelievable 46% in the last 10 years alone, with many new homes in the area. The City of Belen has a population of 6,900 and the "Rio Communities" have another 5,800. For Belen facts please click Here.For the Chamber of Commerce Brochure please click Here.
