Mariposa
Premier New Community in Rio Rancho

Nestled north of Albuquerque, Mariposa stands out as a master-planned community that blends modern living with the natural beauty of the New Mexico high desert. Spanning thousands of acres and anchored by a vision of thoughtfully designed neighborhoods, this community offers both open space and connection. On clear days you'll enjoy sweeping views, and yet the location remains just close enough to urban amenities to make everyday life convenient.

Within Mariposa you'll find an exceptional range of amenities crafted to enhance the lifestyle of its residents. From a large, LEED-certified community center and indoor/outdoor swimming pools to fitness facilities, expansive parks, and miles of walking and biking trails, the design supports active living, outdoor enjoyment, and neighborly gathering. These thoughtfully integrated features give it a resort-like quality, without leaving home.

Homes in Mariposa are built to meet modern standards of comfort, efficiency, and style. Builders offer a variety of floor plans and lot sizes — from more modest homesites to larger estate lots. The architecture takes cues from the landscape: clean lines, expansive windows, interior-outdoor flow, and finishes that capture the warmth of the desert setting. Whether you're looking for a ready-to-move-in residence or building custom, Mariposa provides the backdrop for a home life tuned to today's preferences.

Beyond the homes and amenities, Mariposa fosters a sense of community and long-term value. The presence of parks, preserved open space, and planned neighborhood infrastructure creates a stable environment where homeowners feel rooted and supported. With top-rated local schools nearby, shopping and services within reach, and nature's beauty just outside the door, the setting invites both families and individuals to live well — and stay well — over time.
