Visiting Las Cruces in a Few Weeks (Rincon: house, neighborhood)

[Afterburn]

We've always admired Las Cruces the few times we've visited and are now considering looking at homes there. Based upon house listings we've liked on the internet, we seem to have picked several primarily in the area east of the I-25 and north of the I-70. I have no idea what that area is called. Can someone give me some insight into that particular area? And what is the shopping like there? We are retirees, but young at heart.

Thanks!

You may be talking about the East Mesa... if not you, are talking about someplace in NE Denver.

How about "Northeast Mesa" - which is made up of many newer neighborhood developments.

There is essentially no shopping N of 70 and E of 25, but there's plenty along and south of 70

Depends on how far north.
If around Sonoma Ranch Blvd., the area could be Sonoma Ranch (east side of 70) or Las Colinas (west side of 70).
Not much by way of shopping north of there.
Lots of shopping a little further south though, where 70 turns into Main St.

There’s a big Walmart off of 70, on Rinconada, and a neighborhood Walmart on Sonoma Ranch Blvd. off of Lohman.

Other shopping as well, along/off of Lohman between El Paseo and Sonoma Ranch
There’s Marshall’s, Ross, Sprouts, Natural Grocers, Walgreens… along that stretch.

And Target, Albertsons and others along Telshor, which runs just east of, and parallel to I-25, including the mall, that has a Barnes and Noble.
