Explore Los Lunas, New Mexico
Los Lunas is sheltered not only from the winds, but also from urban crawl by natural boundaries. The Isleta Indian Pueblo borders to the northside of Los Lunas. Acting as a buffer against Albuquerques growth. The Rio Grande River and the Bosque that parallels the river, serves as a limiting factor to the east side of town. Ten miles south is Belen, with the small villiage of Los Chavez in the middle. The future growth of Los Lunas will come from lands available to the west, until the Laguna Indian Reservation lands are reached. But that's 16 miles west and many ranches or other privately-held properties to slow the rate.
