Getting to Know Truth Or Consequences 

This area is still somewhat of a good kept secret, but that is changing very quickly.  If you were to drive by the area, you would see the unattractive, unsightly, and unkempt manufactured homes from the freeway and possibly drive right on by.  What you would miss is the new golf resort and community being developed that is just out of sight.  You would also miss the new developments that are in the works that will help transform Truth or Consequences from what it is, to what it will soon become.

 

Recently a major developer who is now building the largest community in this area described to my colleague the reason that they moved out here and decided to take part in building in New Mexico.  Coming from Breckenridge, Colorado where they made a name for themselves as an upscale developer often associated with golf course communities, the company wanted to expand their operations into a second state.  They envisioned that Arizona would be that place based on their beautiful golf courses in gorgeous desert settings.  While driving over to Arizona to explore the state for possible future development, they passed through New Mexico.  They were so taken with the little bit of New Mexico that they saw, they felt let down when the reached Arizona.  “Arizona just didn’t fit what we thought it would be.  We found New Mexico had that unique setting that we were looking for”.   


This developer is now building a beautiful 1,200 home golf course community at Turtleback Mountain Resort in the heart of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.  If you haven’t heard of it yet, you will hear of it more in the future.  It is described by this builder and others as truly a diamond in the rough. 


The phrase above is used skillfully by those who say it, because if you know when diamonds are discovered in the rough, they are not very shiny, and need some polishing and cleaning up.  Truth or Consequences is going through that and will one day be breathtakingly beautiful and unfortunately also be a very expensive place to live.  The reason real estate is so reasonable here still is because there is still a lot of old development that has not yet been made what it could be.  But because of its history, fantastic climate, and its location next to the major recreational lake in the state, this town will one day reach its potential and will be a gleaming polished diamond that attracts visitors from everywhere.
