The Best Communities to Buy a Home in Albuquerque

by Sandi Pressley

Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a city of vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes, and a growing real estate market. For those looking to buy a home in this enchanting city, the choices are as diverse as the city itself. From the charm of historic districts to the allure of modern developments, Albuquerque offers a neighborhood for every preference and lifestyle.

One of the most sought-after neighborhoods is Nob Hill, known for its wonderful community, eclectic food scene, local music, and events. Nob Hill presents a more affordable cost of living compared to other areas, especially when it comes to purchasing houses over condos and luxury studios.

For those who appreciate diversity, the Eastside neighborhood is an excellent choice. Its proximity to the Sandia Mountains provides a picturesque setting, and the area boasts a mix of urban and natural environments. With a strong sense of community, good public schools, and a population that includes families, young professionals, and retirees, Eastside is a well-rounded option for many homebuyers.

The Downtown area of Albuquerque is another great option for those who prefer a quieter environment predominantly occupied by families and older residents. The crime rates here are relatively low, and the area offers a peaceful living experience with the convenience of being close to the city's core.

Heritage East and Peppertree-Royal Oak stand out as some of the best neighborhoods in Albuquerque for 2024. These areas are recognized for their safety, quality of life, and community amenities. Heritage East, in particular, is noted for its excellent schools and safe parks, making it ideal for families.

For young professionals, the Bear Canyon neighborhood is a hub of activity with a low unemployment rate and a variety of restaurants and bars. It's a place where one can enjoy a vibrant social life while also benefiting from the economic stability of the area.

Budget-conscious buyers might consider North Albuquerque Acres, where homes are more affordable without compromising on quality or access to city amenities.

In conclusion, Albuquerque's neighborhoods offer a rich tapestry of options for potential homeowners. Whether you're looking for a family-friendly environment, a bustling professional community, or a budget-friendly option, Albuquerque has a neighborhood that can meet your needs and exceed your expectations. With its unique blend of cultures, natural beauty, and growing economy, Albuquerque is not just a place to buy a house—it's a place to call home.

Relive the History of Albuquerque at These Sites

by Sandi Pressley

Here's a fun fact: Albuquerque is one of the oldest cities in America. Even though it was founded in 1706, the Native Americans called this place home for thousands of years. How do we know? Because the Albuquerque area is filled with amazing carvings and relics of the past, such as the ancient rock carvings at Petroglyph National Monument.

Yet it's not only the distant past that makes Albuquerque so interesting. You can see the more recent past as well displayed in the vintage neon signs along Route 66, or the historic Old Town Plaza.

How can explore the rich history of Albuquerque for yourself? There are plenty of ways to discover the distant and recent past of the area through the landmarks and historic sites of the area. Here's a few of the best historic sites in Albuquerque to take you on your own personal journey back in time.

New Mexico Steam Locomotive and Railroad Historical Society

This is a working restoration operation staffed with skilled volunteer welders, pipe-fitters, mechanics and many other trades. Free tours are available to visitors on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Petroglyph National Monument

Petroglyph National Monument stretches 17 miles (27 km) along Albuquerque, New Mexico's West Mesa, a volcanic basalt escarpment that dominates the city's western horizon. Authorized June 27, 1990, the 7,236 acre (29.28 km2) monument is cooperatively managed by the National Park Service and the City of Albuquerque. The western boundary of the monument features a chain of dormant fissure volcanoes. Beginning in the northwest corner, Butte volcano is followed to its south by Bond, Vulcan, Black and JA volcanoes.

Albuquerque Old Town

Old Town is the historic original town site of Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the provincial kingdom of Santa Fe de Nuevo México, established in 1706 by New Mexico governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdés. It is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties as the Old Albuquerque Historic District, and is protected by a special historic zoning designation by the city. The present-day district contains about ten blocks of historic adobe buildings surrounding Old Town Plaza. On the plaza's north side stands San Felipe de Neri Church, a Spanish colonial church constructed in 1793.

Trinity Site

The exact spot where the first atomic bomb was detonated. Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon. It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. The test was conducted in the Jornada del Muerto desert about 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, on what was then the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, now part of White Sands Missile Range.

Gutierrez Hubbell House

The Gutierrez-Hubbell House is a cultural and agricultural learning center developed to document, research and preserve history, maintain open spaces, protect wildlife and teach agricultural heritage.

Wrap Up Summer in Albuquerque With These Fun Festivals

by Sandi Pressley

Get ready to wrap up summer this month in Albuquerque with these fun festivals and market. There's something to do for the whole family this weekend!

New Mexico Shakespeare Festival 2022

Aug 5 – Sep 3
New Mexico Veterans Memorial
1100 Louisiana Blvd SE #5009, Albuquerque, NM

We are delighted to announce that our exciting 2022 season will run August 5th - September 3.

King Lear will be directed by Debi Kierst

The play is about families—about fathers and daughters, fathers and sons, sisters and their husbands and lovers, brothers natural and unnatural. Ordinary jealousies, demands for love, sibling rivalries, desire for money and power, and petty cruelties are all taken to the extreme. It has been considered by many to be Shakespeare's crowning artistic achievement.

As You Like It will be directed by Julia Thudium

The play is being set in in its own time, Arden time. In this version, the mythical forest of Arden is where magic reigns and impossible things happen every day. This show will be filled with music and movement, laughter and most especially joy, joy for the audience and joy for the players.

Both shows promise to be terrific nights in the theatre, under the fabulous New Mexico sky.

2022 Harvest Wine Festival in Albuquerque
