Village of Los Lunas

luna-mansionThe Luna Mansion.Located just 20 minutes south of Albuquerque in Valencia County, the Village of Los Lunas combines the advantages of small-town living with the convenience of a big city.  Residents of Los Lunas enjoy a high quality of life that includes:

  • Access to, and views of, the spectacular Manzano mountains and the Rio Grande
  • Single family homes priced well below the national average
  • A laid-back, semi-rural lifestyle with the convenience of nearby urban amenities
  • Easy commuting within the region, thanks to the NM Rail Runner Express commuter train

 

New industry and retailers are attracted to this growing town, which has added new subdivisions and expanded its utilities to accommodate future growth.  Compared to the overall Metro area, Los Lunas and Valencia County offer many business advantages including:

  • Low cost industrial sites
  • An available and talented work force
  • An active build-to-suit program and Industrial Revenue Bonds


In addition, Los Lunas is home to the 500 acre state-of-the-art Los Morros Business Park, a mixed use business park with easy access to Interstate 25, the Albuquerque International Sunport, and the US/Mexico border.
