Sandoval County's effective property tax rate (~0.71%) is slightly lower than Bernalillo County's 0.84% — a modest but real advantage. Homes are single-story, 59K–55K, with amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, bocce, and fire pits. The community has a lifestyle director and organized activities calendar. Alegria is fully built-out with resale and occasional new inventory. The name means 'joy' in Spanish, fitting for a community designed around the New Mexico high desert aesthetic.

NM Income Tax Reminder: New Mexico taxes pension, IRA, and 401(k) withdrawals at graduated rates up to 5.9%. Social Security is exempt only if MAGI is under $100,000 (single) or $150,000 (married). This applies to all NM communities including this one. Factor it into your retirement income plan before committing to New Mexico.
NM One-Third Assessment Rule: New Mexico taxes residential property on one-third of appraised value. A $400,000 home is taxed on approximately $133,000 of assessed value. At Sandoval County rates, this produces one of the lower effective property tax rates in the Sun Belt.
