Just north of Carlsbad in Eddy County, this small community offers wide skies, spacious lots, and a pace that keeps you minutes from groceries and local dining. Weekend plans write themselves: hike the chambers of Carlsbad Caverns National Park, meet desert wildlife at Living Desert Zoo & Gardens State Park, or cast a line and launch a kayak at Brantley Lake State Park. The Pecos River corridor and Carlsbad’s riverwalk add scenic jogs and sunset picnics to the mix.
Families appreciate straightforward school options through Carlsbad Municipal Schools, with programs ranging from strong arts to competitive athletics. Commuters find easy routes to jobs in energy and potash, with nearby hubs like Artesia and Loving within a manageable drive.
Housing in La Huerta spans established homes on larger parcels to newer builds, and the area’s agricultural roots show in trees, irrigated yards, and productive soils.
