Zip code 87144 spans Rio Rancho’s newer master‑planned pockets—Mariposa, Enchanted Hills, and Northern Meadows—set in sunny high desert with big Sandia and Jemez views, low humidity, and glowing sunsets. The vibe is quiet and community‑minded, with family‑ and pet‑friendly streets, neighborhood parks, and miles of walking, biking, and trail running in the Mariposa trail network and nearby Rio Grande bosque. Daily needs are close at Enchanted Hills Village (Albertsons Market, The Home Depot, Starbucks), with casual New Mexican eats, coffee spots, and nearby shopping; concerts and festivals land at the Rio Rancho Events Center, while Corrales and Bernalillo add local galleries and eateries a short drive away. Commuters appreciate quick highway access via US‑550, NM‑528, and Paseo del Volcán, and weekend escapes to the Sandias or Jemez are easy. According to Zillow Market Trends in recent months, the median rent is around $1,800, with most rentals ranging roughly from $1,400 to $2,200.
