Del Webb at Mirehaven

Independent Assessment

Four independent source types -- a national retirement-community aggregator (Seniorly), a dedicated active-adult directory (55places.com), a secondary directory (activeadultliving.com), and the community's own developer-branded page (mirehaven.com/55-plus-community) -- all converge on the same 538-home count, the same 2015 opening year, and the same Pulte Homes/Del Webb builder attribution. That level of convergence across independent source types, without a single conflicting figure, is the strongest confirmation pattern found anywhere in this state's tracked inventory. The remaining open question is less about whether Mirehaven is a genuine, legally age-restricted 55+ community -- that is well established -- and more about current pricing and available inventory, which shift with the resale market and should be confirmed directly rather than assumed static from any one source.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Del Webb at Mirehaven suits buyers who want the reassurance of a nationally recognized Del Webb brand, a fully built-out and mature gated community (rather than an active construction zone), and a northwest Albuquerque location with mountain and mesa views. Because the community is fully built out, buyers most interested in customizing a brand-new home from the ground up may find better fit at an actively selling new-construction community elsewhere in the metro, while buyers who want an established HOA, mature landscaping, and a full slate of resident clubs and activities already running will find Mirehaven a strong fit.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Del Webb at Mirehaven comprises 538 single-family homes across 300 acres, developed by Pulte Homes under its Del Webb active-adult brand beginning in 2015. The community is gated and now fully built out. An itemized list of original floor plans or square-footage ranges independently confirmed across sources was not found; buyers should request Pulte/Del Webb's original plan book, where available, or rely on current resale listings for specific home details.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Resale pricing at Del Webb at Mirehaven is reported across a broad range, roughly $400,000 to $700,000 depending on floor plan, lot, view, and finish level, with currently available inventory reported starting from the low $600s -- a subset of that fuller range rather than the community's full pricing floor. As a nationally branded, fully built-out Del Webb community with a strong corroboration record, Mirehaven likely commands a premium over less-established or unbranded active-adult communities elsewhere in the Albuquerque metro; buyers should request current comparable sales from a local agent to confirm where any specific listing falls within the broader range.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Del Webb at Mirehaven is now fully built out following its 2015 opening, and no evidence was found of an active builder sales office continuing to sell new construction; it should be treated as an established, resale-oriented community, with only occasional builder-affiliated spec inventory surfacing rather than a full new-construction program. Buyers should request the specific construction year and any remodel history for any home under consideration.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at Del Webb at Mirehaven are subject to Bernalillo County property tax administration, which carries an effective rate of approximately 0.84% under the state's distinctive one-third assessment rule (residential property is taxed on only one-third of its appraised value) -- the highest effective rate of the three Albuquerque-area counties compared, meaning a comparable home in Sandoval or Valencia County would carry a somewhat lower property tax bill. New Mexico also taxes pension income, IRA withdrawals, and 401(k) distributions at graduated rates of 1.5% to 5.9%, though Social Security is exempt for filers below a MAGI threshold of $100,000 (single) or $150,000 (married); a senior assessed-value freeze is available for homeowners 65 and older below an income threshold of $44,200 (2025, per NMSA Section 7-36-21.3). Buyers should confirm the current effective rate directly with the Bernalillo County Assessor and request current homeowners-insurance quotes, as a confirmed insurance-cost range specific to this community was not found.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Del Webb at Mirehaven's defining lifestyle feature is its maturity as a fully built-out, established gated community rather than an active construction site -- residents move into a neighborhood with settled landscaping, an operating clubhouse, and an existing calendar of resident clubs and activities typical of a nationally branded Del Webb community. Not every specific class, club, or event currently offered has been independently itemized; buyers should request the current activities calendar directly from the HOA or a local agent.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Del Webb at Mirehaven sits in far northwest Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, on a hillside setting reported to offer mountain and mesa views. The exact street address and specific nearby cross streets have not been independently confirmed; buyers should confirm the precise location and current drive times to Albuquerque's medical centers, shopping, and the Sunport (Albuquerque International Sunport) directly with a local agent.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Del Webb at Mirehaven's legally age-restricted 55+ status is independently confirmed across multiple source types: Seniorly, 55places.com, and activeadultliving.com all classify it as a genuine 55+ age-restricted community, and the community's own site maintains a dedicated '55-Plus Community' page (mirehaven.com/55-plus-community) describing the restriction directly. Buyers should nonetheless request the community's current recorded declaration and occupancy-verification practice directly from the HOA, as the recorded covenant document itself was not independently inspected.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Mirehaven is fully built out, buyers should expect a resale-driven purchase process rather than a builder sales-office experience, with only occasional spec or builder-affiliated inventory surfacing rather than a full lineup of floor plans to choose from. The reported price range is wide (roughly $400,000 to $700,000 across the full resale market), and the low-$600s starting point noted for currently available inventory is a snapshot of a subset of listings rather than the full range -- buyers should confirm current listings and comparable sales directly rather than anchoring on either figure alone. A specific current HOA fee figure also remains unconfirmed; buyers should request the community's current fee schedule and reserve study directly.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Del Webb at Mirehaven's home count, opening year, and builder are consistent across the sources consulted. Compared against Albuquerque Meadows, a land-lease manufactured-home community also in Bernalillo County, Mirehaven represents the opposite end of the housing-format spectrum -- conventional fee-simple single-family homeownership in a nationally branded, fully built-out gated community, versus manufactured-home ownership on a leased lot.

Current Listings

A connected local agent can provide current available listings at Del Webb at Mirehaven, confirm the current HOA fee and full coverage list, and clarify where a specific listing falls within the community's broader $400,000-$700,000 resale range.

Is Del Webb at Mirehaven legally age-restricted?

Yes. Its legally age-restricted 55+ status is independently confirmed across Seniorly, 55places.com, activeadultliving.com, and the community's own dedicated '55-Plus Community' page (mirehaven.com/55-plus-community).
