Nob Hill Homes for Rent

Nob Hill in Albuquerque, located just east of the University of New Mexico, is celebrated for its Art Deco architecture, neon signs, and colorful murals. The neighborhood, developed from the mid-1920s to the 1950s, features single-story homes in Southwestern adobe, Spanish Eclectic, and Mediterranean styles, often with fruit trees, rock gardens, and Saltillo-tiled driveways. Notable subdivisions like Monte Vista and College View are on the National Register of Historic Places. Central Avenue, once part of U.S. Route 66, is lined with breweries, coffee shops, wine bars, global eateries, record shops, tattoo parlors, and small boutiques. Antique shops are found between Adams and Monroe streets, and the Empire Board Game Library is a local favorite. Annual events such as the Shop n’ Stroll and First Fridays Artscrawl draw residents and visitors alike. Grocery options include La Montañita Food Co-op, Walmart, and several Smith’s markets. The neighborhood is walkable and served by a local bus system. Parks in the area include Highland Pond Park with a soccer field, Wellesley Park with public tennis courts, and the recently updated Morningside Park. Schools in Nob Hill are part of the Albuquerque Public Schools district, including Highland High School and Monte Vista Elementary School. Nob Hill offers a blend of artsy, historic charm and a variety of things to do in New Mexico’s largest city.
