Discover just how wonder-full life can be

You’re an expert at curating a life filled with memorable experiences and finding fun in the moment, no matter what the moment may be. In Spanish, La Vida Llena means “the full life,” which is exactly what you’ll experience here. 

On campus, there are plenty of ways to keep your mind full, like contributing to the ever-evolving model train room or taking part in a lively discussion at one of several book club groups. Off campus, fill your schedule with the unique experiences that Albuquerque has to offer. Window-shop in retro Nob Hill, or let your worries slip away as you hike through the Sandia Mountains.

Calling La Vida Llena home isn’t just choosing a place to live. You’re picking out a home that’s just right for you, perfectly suited to your needs and budget. You’re placing yourself in the middle of a town full of vibrant culture. You’re ensuring that you’ll end every day with a full heart after spending time with a spirited bunch of like-minded companions. And you’re taking all the guesswork out of any future care you might need. It’s a decision that feels right for your mind, body, and heart. Now that’s living life to the fullest.

Live from the scene of La Vida Llena

Good evening—I’m coming to you live from La Vida Llena’s very own Channel 77 news station. I’ve just received reports that a resident successfully made her own coffee mug in the community’s ceramics studio. She made the decision to try her hand at ceramics just this morning, since the mug she was drinking her coffee out of was “too boring.” Today’s events occurred after she perfected her first-time poker skills and then gave poetry a shot at the Resident Open Mic yesterday. Now, that’s what I call … mug-nificent.
