Located on the west bank of the Rio Grande, just north of Albuquerque is the village of Corrales, known for its centuries-old cottonwoods, artists, agriculture, picturesque adobe homes, and horses galore. Corrales residents love the quiet, peaceful atmosphere, with a single main road through town, with various "horse crossing signs, and one sign warning:"Drive slow, see or village:drive fast, see our judge."
While Corrales has its share of businesses, Corrales mayor Gary Kanin once characterized Corrales as a "town of home occupations" In fact, of 500 business licenses in Corrales, 80% are for home businesses. A majority of the rest are quaint and charming restaurants and small shops, and occasional fresh produce stands and markets, orchards, and nurseries hark back to the village's more agricultural past.
Corrales has a number of new developments of note, including the town's first swimming pool, part of the initial development of a 14 acre property which is being developed by the Parks and Recreation Department into a community park containing a livestock arena, soccer fields, and a community center. A museum of Spanish culture, housed in a home that dates back to the 1600's is also under way.
