Amenities
A community built into a mountain hillside.
Ladera keeps the promise simple: a full kitchen in every home, a community building at the center, and a green-built design shaped by the hillside and the path of the sun.

03 · Green-built
A community that works with the high-plains sun.
Long before it was fashionable, Ladera was built green, and you feel it every month: steadier temperatures, quieter rooms, and lower utility bills.
-
Buildings aligned with the sun
The buildings at Ladera are set to the path of the sun, aligned with the solstices and the equinoxes. It is a quiet piece of design that welcomes low winter light and shrugs off the high summer heat.
-
Recycled building materials
Recycled and responsibly chosen materials went into the community from the start, part of the same green-building approach used across our sister communities.
-
Built with the hillside, not against it
Instead of flattening the site, the buildings and walkways step with the natural slope. The pines stay, the views stay, and every home sits a little differently on the mountain.
Ladera shares its green-building roots with sister communities across New Mexico, several of which carry Enterprise Green Communities certification and U.S. Green Building Council LEED ratings up to Platinum.
