The "Updated vs. Original" Spread

Pricing Here is Tricky.
Tres Lomas is the core of the Tanque Verde market. Currently, we see unrenovated homes listing near $400,000, while updated properties in Tres Lomas East and North are closing between $500,000 and $600,000.

The gap is in the details. Because these homes were built in the 1970s, buyers punish "original condition" severely. We help you decide if you should renovate to hit that $550k+ mark or price aggressively to sell as-is.

Marketing the Freedom Lifestyle

In Tres Lomas, you aren't just selling a house; you are selling the freedom to park an RV and build a workshop.

The Homes

Expect classic 1970s masonry construction—sturdy, brick or slump block homes that keep the heat out. Many feature burnt adobe accents and large covered patios. It is the perfect entry point for families wanting space and the top-rated school district.

Tres Lomas FAQ

Are there really no HOAs in Tres Lomas?
The vast majority of Tres Lomas, Tres Lomas North, and East do not have mandatory HOAs. However, there may be deed restrictions regarding livestock or commercial vehicles. We check the specific title report for every listing to ensure accurate marketing.
Can I have horses in Tres Lomas?
Many lots in Tres Lomas are zoned for horses (typically CR-1 or SR), but the lot size (often 0.8 acres) can be tighter than Bel Air Ranch. It is a popular area for "casual" horse owners or those who board nearby but want trailer parking at home.
