Situated on a bluff overlooking the Rio Grande River to the east and the Sandia Peak ski area beyond, this 220-apartment retirement community is designed, equipped, and managed to meet the long-term residential needs of senior citizens. Developed in two phases in 1996 and 1999, the community is located on a 9-acre site in the eastern portion of Rio Rancho, adjacent to Corrales, in an area known as Rancho West.

The building is a three-story, wood frame construction, with a central core devoted to common areas and surrounded by residential wings. Residents enjoy dining and housekeeping services, 24-hour staffing, social and recreational programs, and scheduled transportation to the local Rio Rancho and Albuquerque areas.
