Hakes Brothers in Sierra Norte Heights, the elevated northeast Las Cruces community with mountain views and a slight luxury tier above Metro Verde. Floor plans 2,000-3,200 sqft, pricing low-$300s to $480s.
Sierra Norte Heights is the elevated northeast Las Cruces community where Hakes Brothers builds slightly larger and slightly more upscale homes than Metro Verde. The lot premiums are higher (7,000-11,000 sqft typical vs 5,000-8,500 in Metro Verde) and the floor plans skew larger. Buyers wanting space and view lots tend to choose Sierra Norte over Metro Verde.
Mountain views are the differentiator. Lots on the elevated portions of the community offer real Organ Mountain visibility from primary suites and outdoor living areas. The trade-off is price; Sierra Norte pricing runs $30-50K higher than equivalent floor plans in Metro Verde for the location and lot premium.
