Top neighborhoods in Albuquerque

Westgate Heights
Westgate Heights
What it’s like to live in Westgate Heights
Elevated views define Westgate Heights, where Albuquerque's western mesa neighborhood offers spectacular Sandia Mountain panoramas across the Rio Grande Valley. Most rentals feature more generous space than comparable eastside options, while the developing commercial district continues adding amenities reducing trips to more congested areas. Though requiring longer downtown commutes than central neighborhoods, strategic positioning near I-40 creates reasonable travel times despite geographical distance, while significantly more living space and mountain views typically compensate for increased commuting time increasingly accepted as remote work trends reduce daily office requirements transforming housing priorities beyond purely commute-based considerations which previously dominated location decisions.

What it’s like to live in Paradise Hills Civic
Mountain views reward residents of Paradise Hills Civic, where this northwestern Albuquerque neighborhood sits at higher elevation capturing dramatic Sandia Mountain vistas. Rental homes typically feature desert-adaptive landscaping, mountain panoramas, and more space than similarly priced properties closer to downtown. While the area offers excellent access to both Petroglyph National Monument and Cottonwood Mall shopping, the removed location means longer commutes to downtown employment centers despite the natural beauty. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize mountain proximity over urban accessibility who don't mind additional driving for daily needs.

What it’s like to live in Nob Hill
Nob Hill buzzes with creative energy where this beloved Albuquerque district showcases Route 66 heritage through preserved architecture and distinctive local businesses along Central Avenue. Renters enjoy genuine walkability to independent shops, global dining options, and entertainment venues creating enviable urban convenience rare for typically car-dependent southwestern cities. Property age brings occasional maintenance considerations in older buildings, but urban enthusiasts love both the neighborhood's distinctive mid-century character and strategic positioning between UNM campus and downtown with excellent public transportation options despite occasional parking challenges during popular restaurant hours.

Living in Albuquerque, NM

If you've ever dreamt of hiking two hours up a mountain in the warm sunshine, camping in the wilderness, and then skiing right back down the mountain into your, then it's not virtual reality you're dreaming about, it's Albuquerque! With over 310 days of sunshine a year, and a very mild, dry winter, people of all ages love the place that the locals call “Burque.”
We've got some good news. It's totally easy to find a great place to live in Albuquerque. There are a lot of available apartments, houses, and houses that have been transformed into apartments and the prices are amazingly low. While location is important (more on that later), Albuquerque is small enough that wherever you rent, you'll always be right next to the great outdoors. In fact, if you drive forty minutes out of town from anywhere in the city, you'll be in the middle of the desert. Another plus? When we say 40 minutes, we mean it. Albuquerque traffic is virtually unheard of (commuters rejoice!)

Now we know you've already got your backpack on and you're raring to go camping, but if you ever want to rejoin the rest of us in polite society, you'll need a place to shower after you come back down that mountain and wherever else will you store all your gear? Let's find you that perfect Albuquerque apartment
