Corona rewards residents with wide horizons, quiet nights, and a pace that lets you breathe. Set at the crossroads of US‑54 and NM‑247 in Lincoln County, it offers straightforward access to regional hubs like Carrizozo and Roswell. History buffs will recognize the area’s tie to the 1947 UFO saga; a day trip to Roswell’s International UFO Museum & Research Center adds color to local lore and makes for a fun outing with visitors.
Outdoors, the landscape is big and inviting. Explore the dramatic lava fields at the Bureau of Land Management’s Valley of Fires Recreation Area, or watch migrating birds and mirror‑calm wetlands at the Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Hunters and anglers appreciate straightforward licensing and seasonal opportunities through the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. On clear evenings—most of them—you’ll find skywatching that rivals designated dark‑sky parks.
Families in Corona value small‑community living while connecting with regional education options. Students often attend schools in neighboring districts such as Carrizozo or Vaughn, and extracurriculars, athletics, and career‑tech programs are within reach thanks to manageable drives across open roads. With acreage, ranch properties, and modest in‑town homes, buyers can choose space that fits their lifestyle, and sellers benefit from interest in rural living, recreation access, and the area’s distinctive history.
