About Corrales
A village that kept its quiet.
Corrales traces its roots to a 1710 Spanish land grant and retains a rural, agricultural character unusual for a community so close to a major metropolitan area. The Village of Corrales is a self-governing municipality within the Albuquerque metro, with its own police force, fire department, and community identity.
Life here is built around open space. Many properties are one acre or more, with horse corrals, workshops, and desert landscaping. The Rio Grande Bosque, a cottonwood forest running along the river, provides miles of trails for walking, cycling, and horseback riding. The Walk Score in Corrales ranges from 0 to 18, reflecting a genuinely rural setting where the car is primary but the pace is deliberately slow.
Corrales Elementary School, part of Albuquerque Public Schools, serves the community's K-8 students. The school is known for its small class sizes and community involvement. Sandia View Academy offers a private alternative nearby.
