Moving to Corrales, NM
About Corrales
Corrales is a village (population ~8,600) tucked between the Rio Grande and the Sandia foothills, just north of Albuquerque's North Valley. Strict land-use rules preserve its rural character: acequia-irrigated farmland, cottonwood bosque, horse trails, and adobe estates on large lots — yet it's minutes from the city. One of the metro's priciest markets, it draws equestrians, artists, and executives wanting country living with city access.
