Rural on purpose.
Corrales is a small, deliberately rural village tucked along the Rio Grande between Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Its zoning welcomes horses and livestock, it still runs on a centuries-old acequia irrigation network, and streetlights are kept to a minimum to protect its dark night skies.
Much of the village has no curbs or sidewalks, just winding roads, cottonwoods, farms and studios. There is a well-established arts community with regular studio tours, and a real sense that neighbors know one another.
Why people choose Corrales.
Horse property
Zoning that welcomes horses and livestock, plus a community built around them.
Acequias
Historic irrigation ditches still water fields and gardens, and ditch rights can be part of a sale.
Village life
Dark skies, local events and an active arts scene, just minutes from the city.
