One such loved activity includes the ‘night hikes’– walks lit up along the trail leading one mile up the Los Lunas Hill overlooking the village below. Adding to the mix the opportunity for local fishing derbies, ATV paths, beekeeping, and facilities in place to accommodate soccer and baseball for its residents, Los Lunas does not disappoint. Los Lunas’s star is clearly on the rise, expanding in so many ways from ongoing commercial investments, infrastructure upgrades including water and sewage expansion to all areas of the village, retail expansion, and transportation upgrading. When asked what the next few years would ideally look like for the town of Los Lunas, Gamboa shares, “I think that a healthcare facility, whether that is a micro-hospital or urgent care, is something that is desperately needed. Also, adding more retail to the western side of Los Lunas with help foster that high quality of life our residents are accustom too. A natural foods grocery store, a steakhouse, local restaurants alongside a Chick- fil-A, Costco, or Sam’s would check multiple boxes off our residents’ lists.” Top of the list remains the need to hold on to and embrace the local heartbeat of Los Lunas, while looking outward to larger urban centers on its doorstep. Gamboa emphasizes, “We are able to grow and yet still feel like we are part of the metro while still keeping our roots.”
