Amenities
A green courtyard at the center, modern homes all around.
The comfort here starts with the construction itself: tight, efficient, LEED Platinum homes built new in 2016, arranged around a courtyard of lawns and young trees instead of a parking lot.

100% new construction, 2016
Playa Escondida is the newest community in our family, designed and built from the ground up in 2016. Modern floor plans, modern materials, and modern efficiency, with nothing carried over from an older era.

LEED for Homes Platinum
Platinum is the highest rating the U.S. Green Building Council awards a home. Here it means tight, well-insulated construction that keeps the summer heat out, the winter warmth in, and utility bills down.
-
Passive solar orientation
The buildings are set to work with the Lea County sun instead of fighting it: shaded in the hottest hours, warmed by the low winter light. Comfort that is built in, not bolted on.
-
Permeable parking surfaces
The community takes its name from the playas, the shallow desert basins of Lea County that catch the rain. Its permeable parking areas work the same way, letting stormwater soak into the ground where it falls instead of running off.
Playa Escondida is the newest member of a New Mexico family of green-built affordable communities reaching from Taos to Hobbs, with certifications from Enterprise Green Communities to LEED Platinum.
