Tyrone, NM

Located just a short drive southwest of Silver City, Tyrone is a quiet residential community sitting among the rolling, piñon-covered hills of southwestern New Mexico. Built to replace an earlier historic townsite claimed by open-pit mining, today’s neighborhood offers a calm, suburban feel surrounded by wide-open high desert. It gives residents a peaceful home base with expansive views and plenty of space to breathe.
