BELEN, N.M. (KRQE) – Within the next few weeks, a massive dirt lot near I-25’s Belen exit will be turned into 92 new homes.
“It’s been about 20 years since we’ve seen a new housing development in Belen,” said Belen Mayor Jerah Cordova.
Cordova says more people are moving to Belen than they have houses for.
“Belen, right now, is having a housing boom. We are having one of the best real estate markets in Valencia County. Homes aren’t really available [because] there are no homes being built,” said Cordova.
Cordova says the new de la Reina Neighborhood is the answer to this problem.
“They’re going to be incredibly affordable,” said Cordova.
