A cited Zillow-linked average for the 88046 zip ran approximately $367,780, while a separate, lower January 2026-dated citation put the figure at approximately $253,000 -- this record discloses both (base record).
Mesilla Park is a separate, distinct place
Mesilla Park is a real, separate, nearby unincorporated community with its own Census designation, not the same as the town of Mesilla -- this record does not conflate the two.
A genuinely low property tax offset
Mesilla's 0.81% effective property tax rate (Ownwell) offsets some of the uncertainty in its own home-value figures, running below both the national and New Mexico statewide median (base record).
