About Picacho Hills
Picacho Hills is the established luxury enclave on the west side of Las Cruces. Larger lots, custom and semi-custom builds, mountain views, and a noticeably different buyer profile (executives, retirees, professionals) make it the highest price point new construction in the city. New construction here is almost entirely custom or pre-construction with a builder, not spec inventory. The community is built around the Picacho Hills Country Club golf course.
