Magdalena Facts
Mountains

Located in Southwest New Mexico along U.S. Highway 60, Magdalena is 2,000 feet above Socorro and 27 miles to the west. Food, gas, lodging, and many other services are available in Magdalena. The population of the Village is estimated to be about 1,000. With only 12 inches of precipitation annually and at an elevation of 6,548 feet, we would be considered high and dry. The wettest months are usually July and August when afternoon thunderstorms make regular visits. Sunny days abound with mild winter and summer temperatures averaging between 33 and 71 degrees respectively.

Most of the private enterprise in the area is retail trade or ranching. The largest employers are the school systems and other government services. Public education is provided at the state of the art elementary/high school while an excellent higher education is offered at New Mexico Tech in Socorro.

The Village is vibrant and growing steadily. Local businesses offer many services and locally made arts and crafts. Housing and land are affordable. The community is friendly and secure. A variety of churches and civic organizations are available to serve our needs. The local newspaper serves up news and comment on a weekly basis.

Real Estate

 

Some cautions when contracting to purchase any property in New Mexico. Consider before closing:

  1. It can never hurt to get a legal opinion from a qualified attorney on any related subject.
  2. It can never hurt to have a valid survey available if there is any question as to the boundaries.
  3. It can never hurt to have a verified or recorded access path or easement documented.
  4. It can never hurt to know who is responsible for maintaining your roads, ditches, dirt dams, etc., and the costs.
  5. It can never hurt to have your water quality and volume tested.
  6. It can never hurt to verify the amount of property taxes your purchase will generate in the future.
  7. It can never hurt to verify that electric, phone, and other services will be available and at what price. The phone numbers for these services are listed.
  8. It can never hurt to READ all documents to ensure correctness. Title insurance information doesn't correct incorrect information.

Each of the brokers listed here will be glad to discuss these items. We all wish the purchase of your new home to be the best possible experience.
