East Mountain considerations
Homes in and around Tijeras are frequently more rural in character, with laundry areas in garages, utility rooms or outbuildings. Unheated spaces are worth mentioning: a machine that sits cold can behave differently from one in a conditioned room.
Well water is also more common outside the city. Where a property is on a well, sediment and mineral content can affect inlet screens more aggressively than municipal supply does.
