Los Lunas is bedroom community of Albuquerque just 25 miles south of there.
The town has grown in leaps and bounds due to lower real estate costs and easy commuting to the big city.
Can't help you with crime or schools stats without doing my own research.
Great riding to Sandia Crest, high road to Taos or Jemez, never mind a couple of race tracks in the state.
Its a possibility. Working with a group that gives homes to disabled veterans and 1 of them on the list is there. Schools it shows are good and no real crime. But a real person near there is better than online reviews. How is the Albuquerque area?
