Astante at Cabezon in Rio Rancho, NM

Astanté is a neighborhood inside Cabezon, the master-planned community on the east side of Rio Rancho. It sits east of the Yucatan neighborhood and just north of Cabezon Park, where the city runs a community center and a seasonal pool. D.R. Horton built most of the houses in the mid-2000s, and they read that way: tile roofs, cathedral ceilings, more than one living area. Three parks sit within the neighborhood itself, including Oak Park at the entrance, and trails weave through the streets and tie into the wider Cabezon path network. A homeowners association maintains the common areas.

The neighborhood association is registered in New Mexico as Astante at Cabezon Homeowners Association and keeps its own mailing address, phone line and website. Dues are reported to cover the common areas, road maintenance and pool access.

One name causes recurring confusion. Astanté Villa Townhomes is a separate gated neighborhood within Cabezon, and listing data sometimes borrows the townhome label for Astanté, which is largely detached houses on open streets.
