Leading New Mexico homebuilder expands footprint in Rio Rancho and Los Lunas, NM

Albuquerque, NM –  Hakes Brothers, a leading regional home builder, announced the company’s continued expansion in the Albuquerque area with the launch of two new residential communities, Melon Ridge and Cerro Vista.  These new community openings are the latest evidence of Albuquerque’s overall desirability and continued resilience amid the country’s fluctuating housing market.

Located approximately 15 miles north of Albuquerque in Rio Rancho, Melon Ridge provides a rare opportunity for area buyers to purchase a new home under the $400’s price threshold.  Thoughtfully positioned near schools, shopping, and employment, this community is expected to be popular among buyers entering the new home market for the first time.

Serving a market sector 20 miles south of Albuquerque, the Los Lunas community of Cerro Vista gives growing families a variety of new home choices in a picturesque setting. The product offering at Cerro Vista includes open-concept designs and a wide range of included features specially chosen to accommodate today’s busy households.  

“As Albuquerque continues to attract families and individuals seeking a better quality of life, we’re excited to provide housing solutions to meet that demand,” said Chris Hakes, president of Hakes Brothers, Albuquerque Division. “These two communities are designed to address the needs of a wide variety of new home buyers with high-quality product.”
