Historically, the area relied on the fertile soil to sustain orchards and fields, a legacy that remains visible in the surviving acequias that feed the local greenery. While the economy has shifted toward professional services and boutique retail, the commitment to maintaining rural zoning laws preserves the agrarian aesthetic. Residents value this deliberate pace, favoring the cultivation of small vineyards and gardens over dense industrial expansion. The interaction between the legacy of traditional land management and contemporary economic interests provides a steady, grounded rhythm to daily life.
