Currently being developed near Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine and New Mexico State University, The Flats at Ridgeview is a garden-style community that will consist of one- and two-bedroom apartments with a washer and dryer, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ceramic tiled showers.

It’s providing an experience for each and every one of our residents. We pride ourselves in our dedication to maintaining and operating properties to the highest standard and I am confident that our property management expertise, as well as our exceptional operations team and training programs, will create an environment that exceeds residents’ expectations.”
