Big changes may be coming to the backyards of many homes in Rio Rancho. This is happening nearly ten years after the old golf course closed. A neighbor who lives near the area said, “I care a lot because my house backs up to it. If it will be open space, plant some nice plants, cut down the dead trees, and fix it up.”
A new plan for the 280-acre land has started getting reactions from people who live nearby. The old country club and golf course closed in 2016. A few years later, developers from Mesa Del Sol bought the land. They want to bring new life to the area.
Now, the developers are asking the city for permission to make big changes. They want to turn the old golf course into homes, apartments, stores, and a business park. The north part of the land would stay as open space but will also be cleaned up and improved.
Some neighbors are worried. They fear there will be more traffic and that the area might not be well cared for. One neighbor said, “People will be walking around. But someone needs to rake the ground and pick up trash. People might not clean up after their pets. Who will do that?”
