The Mesilla Valley
The Mesilla Valley lies along the Rio Grande with convenient access from interstates 10 and 25. The Valley is primarily agricultural, dotted with villages with the feel of Old Mexico.
Dominating our Valley are the beautiful, rugged Organ Mountains, with hiking trails, mountain meadows, and cactus-covered foothills.
Las Cruces
Although the origin of the name of the City of Las Cruces (The Crosses) is lost to time, the town is at the crossroads of I–10, I–25 and Highway 70.
Las Cruces has a thriving business district and a historic downtown with a pedestrian mall that features twice weekly Farmer’s Markets. Las Cruces provides ample businesses to meet the needs of production companies.
Las Cruces has a diverse feel. There are Old Mexico neighborhoods, older suburban neighborhoods, as well as new development and lush golf courses. With the Organ Mountains always in view, the city has much to offer with its diverse cultures.

Mesilla
This quaint town features old adobe buildings around an historic plaza with an authentic Mexican feel.

A popular location for film and locals, the plaza hosts many events year round, including a weekly Farmer’s Market. Mesilla offers an abundance of restaurants, boutiques and galleries.
