Vista Montebella in Rio Rancho, NM

Vista Montebella is a single-family subdivision in southern Rio Rancho, in the 87124 ZIP code, sitting northeast of Seville and of Ventana Ranch. Local streets are reached from Unser Boulevard by way of McMahon Boulevard, Black Arroyo Boulevard and Isabel Road. Richmond American Homes opened the community with a mix of ranch and two-story plans, and Westway Homes has built here as well, under the Oeste and Enclave names that show up on local property records. Construction is recent and still underway. A homeowners association covers common areas and road maintenance.

Getting in and out runs through Unser Boulevard, the main north-south artery on this side of the metro; drivers pick up I-25 at Paseo del Norte. Builder materials put downtown Albuquerque at roughly twenty-five minutes.

The name covers more than one plat. Vista Montebella Oeste and The Enclave at Vista Montebella are recorded separately but sit inside the same neighborhood and the same ZIP code, which is why homes there can be marketed under either name.
