Real Estate in Las Cruces, NM
Las Cruces is home. We live here, and it is the center of our work. Las Cruces is the county seat of Doña Ana County and the second-largest city in New Mexico, set in the Mesilla Valley on the Rio Grande floodplain with the Organ Mountains rising about 10 miles to the east.
About Las Cruces
The city sits at about 3,900 feet. The Organ, Doña Ana, and Robledo Mountains and Picacho Peak frame the valley, so views of the mountains are part of daily life here.
New Mexico State University, the state’s only land-grant university, was founded here in 1888, and Doña Ana Community College is here too. White Sands Missile Range and White Sands Test Facility are nearby federal employers, and Virgin Galactic has its headquarters in the city, with Spaceport America’s corporate offices.
Things to do
Downtown has a Main Street pedestrian mall, the Branigan Cultural Center, the Las Cruces Museum of Art, the Museum of Natural History, and the Railroad Museum. The New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum sits on 47 acres east of the university, and the city maintains about 87 parks. A downtown farmers’ market runs Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
The calendar includes Cowboy Days in early March, the Southern New Mexico Wine Festival on Memorial Day weekend, the Southern New Mexico State Fair in early October, and the Las Cruces Chile Drop on New Year’s Eve. Mesilla’s Cinco de Mayo and Christmas Eve plaza luminarias are close by.
Getting around the region

How to get started
The first step is a conversation. Tell us what you are hoping to do and when, and we will suggest a plan.
