This complex has forty-two efficiency apartments, twenty-five 1-bedroom, and three 2-bedroom, unfurnished public housing apartments, 95% of which wheel chairs can enter and navigate, and two of which are wheel chair accessible apartments. All apartments have open beam cathedral ceilings, a gas stove, refrigerator, air conditioning and fenced backyards with storage sheds.
The complex is nicely landscaped with trees, shrubs and grass and has a number of picnic tables and benches for socializing and relaxation. The apartments are grouped around common courtyards with covered areas to retreat from the New Mexico sunshine. There are laundry facilities, a community center and soda machines on the premises. A full-time maintenance staff takes care of the apartments and grounds, maintaining a high standard of excellence.

The park is bordered by the beautiful Rio Grande, back-dropped by the majestic Caballo Mountains. Downtown begins approximately 4 blocks from the apartments; there you will find churches, banks, beauty shops, barbers, restaurants, movie rentals, post office, groceries, drug store, shops, and lawyers and hot mineral bath houses.

Approximately five miles away is Elephant Butte Lake State Park, a great spot for picnicking, camping, fishing, swimming, jet skiing, and boating fun.
