In the tree-studded rolling hills northwest of town are Las Campanas and a host of other developments and neighborhoods of larger, private lots and newer homes, most with city services and utilities. The land here sits between the city and the arroyos that carry rainwater to the Rio Grande, just a few miles west, creating a landscape almost like ocean waves rolling into shore.
