The smallish lots are stepped into the bluff, providing tremendous views, Brennan said. The fact that the neighborhood is gated also is a draw. And that's nice. People just want the security these days. The small lots and open floor plans are designed to appeal to move-down buyers tired of big homes and a lot of property, Brennan said, as well as busy career men and women without children.
People are interested in the security and reduction in maintenance.
Brennan got his start putting up large custom homes in Santa Fe before going to work for some other contractors. So, after developing a parcel of land near the Cottonwood Mall, an opportunity in Rio Rancho emerged. But the pull of building was just too strong, he said. I just felt like I could bring quality construction to the project. The master suites, as well as at least one of the secondary bedrooms, have private patios.
