CARLSBAD HOUSING NM FIVE ADDRESS-LEVEL RENTAL LEADS — CARLSBAD. The supplied “subsided-rental-properties” URL is misspelled; the working https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Carlsbad lists FOUR Carlsbad names: Colonial Hillcrest, La Posada, Mission and Villa San Jose. All four recur in the FIVE-entry https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Carlsbad, which additionally lists Kiva at 921 Franklin with NO phone. Deduplicate to FIVE distinct ADDRESS-LEVEL leads, not nine directory rows. La Posada (710 Hueco) and Mission (805 Hueco) have different streets even though https://affordablehousingonline.com/housing-search/New-Mexico/Carlsbad/Mission-La-Posada-Apartments-Rehab/10012015 groups both addresses under a “Mission La Posada” rehab label. Do not add their units as if independent portfolios or erase either directory address. Their phone discrepancy remains unresolved. Housing NM's lists include different managers, not a Carlsbad municipal-authority-owned apartment roster. 1. Colonial Hillcrest Apartments (BOTH directories; one address-level record) — 604 N Fifth St, Carlsbad, NM 88220; contact 575-885-3816. The SAME name, 604 N Fifth St address and 575-885-3816 number occur in BOTH Housing NM directories; this is ONE lead. That number also appears against La Posada in the subsidized directory, so its use for that OTHER site is not independently confirmed. These lists do not give a unit count, current application status, rates or criminal-history policy. Sources https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Carlsbad and https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Carlsbad 2. La Posada Apartments (BOTH directories; one address-level record) — 710 Hueco St, Carlsbad, NM 88220; no verified direct phone. BOTH directories list this same 710 Hueco property, but the subsidized list gives 575-885-3816 (also Colonial Hillcrest's number) and the affordable list gives 575-885-8204 (Mission Apartments' number). Neither is established as La Posada's OWN direct contact; no phone is promoted as verified. The https://affordablehousingonline.com/housing-search/New-Mexico/Carlsbad/Mission-La-Posada-Apartments-Rehab/10012015 third-party profile describes a “Mission La Posada Apartments Rehab” at BOTH 710 and 805 Hueco, but does not establish whether the two names have separate management, program rules, waitlists or additive unit totals. Ask management which number handles applications for 710 Hueco. Do not infer a vacancy or duplicate units. Sources https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Carlsbad and https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Carlsbad 3. Mission Apartments (Mission La Posada) (BOTH directories; one address-level record) — 805 Hueco St, Carlsbad, NM 88220; contact 575-885-8204. BOTH Housing NM directories call the SAME 805 Hueco address “Mission Apartments” and list 575-885-8204. The https://www.monarchnm.com/property/mission-la-posada operator page calls the site “Mission La Posada,” confirms that address/number, and describes affordable studio-to-two-bedroom floor plans, laundry and controlled access. The https://affordablehousingonline.com/housing-search/New-Mexico/Carlsbad/Mission-La-Posada-Apartments-Rehab/10012015 third-party profile groups 805 AND 710 Hueco under a shared rehab name, but no operator document here establishes separate unit totals or intake rules at the two addresses. This is ONE 805 Hueco address-level lead, not an additional site under every alias. Contact the operator to confirm current openings, subsidies and screening. Sources https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Carlsbad and https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Carlsbad; https://www.monarchnm.com/property/mission-la-posada 4. Kiva (affordable directory only) — 921 Franklin St, Carlsbad, NM 88220; no verified direct phone. The affordable directory alone labels this 921 Franklin St address “Kiva” and explicitly says its phone is “None on record.” Generic marketplace ads at that street do not independently establish that the currently offered units are part of the income-restricted Kiva program. Do not use a phone or rent from an unrelated ad; verify the operator, current program, rent, units and address identity before applying. Sources https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Carlsbad 5. Villa San Jose Apartments (BOTH directories; one address-level record) — 415 W Del Rio St, Carlsbad, NM 88220; contact 575-885-1237. The SAME address/phone occurs in BOTH directories and is confirmed by operator https://www.torchousing.org/contact.aspx. Truth or Consequences Housing Authority's https://www.torchousing.org/sites.aspx?site=villasanjose site page explicitly describes 60 Section 8 project-based apartments (58 one-bedroom and two two-bedroom) for people aged 62+ OR people with a qualifying disability, NOT an unrestricted all-ages rental. It describes accessible units, community room, laundry, and a site-specific application link. Its stated eligibility includes income, acceptable rental history, landlord reference, credit and NCIC background checks; tenant rent is 30% of adjusted monthly income. The page says a COMPLETE signed application with required household documents places the applicant on a waiting list, but does NOT establish a vacant apartment or guaranteed admission. This is managed by Truth or Consequences Housing Authority in Carlsbad, not evidence it manages the other four Carlsbad leads. Sources https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Carlsbad and https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Carlsbad; https://www.torchousing.org/sites.aspx?site=villasanjose Authority and applications: https://m.housingnm.org/community_development/regional-housing-authorities identifies Eastern Regional Housing Authority as serving Eddy County from its Roswell office at 106 E Reed St, phone 575-622-0881. Its service area does NOT establish it owns the five Carlsbad leads. In contrast, https://www.torchousing.org/sites.aspx?site=villasanjose explicitly names Villa San Jose at 415 W Del Rio as a Truth or Consequences Housing Authority site; https://www.torchousing.org/contact.aspx confirms the direct Carlsbad contact, 575-885-1237. Do not confuse this cross-city property management with a separate “Carlsbad Housing Authority” that owns the other directory listings. No reliable current property-by-property authority roster or program-wide waitlist status for the other sites was found; confirm with their actual operators. Roswell's authority office is not a Carlsbad residence. Screening, fees and uncertainty: https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/subsidized-rental-properties#Carlsbad describes tenant-paid rent for covered subsidized units and says application/screening FEES are prohibited for properties covered by its guidance; do not transfer that fee claim to every affordable-only rental, especially Kiva. https://survey.housingnm.org/renters/affordable-rental-properties#Carlsbad describes other income-restricted housing with property-specific income and lease criteria. Both warn that household size, credit, rental history and background checks may matter. Villa San Jose's own stated 62-or-disabled and background criteria are SITE-SPECIFIC, not universal rules for Colonial Hillcrest, La Posada, Mission or Kiva. An application link or directory entry does NOT establish a current vacant unit, an open intake for every program or approval for any criminal history. Ask each operator for today's rent, income cap, fees, openings, separate waitlists and written screening. Reviewed September 29, 2026.
