There's a lot within walking distance of Academy Hills Park

The small neighborhood of Academy Hills Park is in Northeast Albuquerque. Within it is a park by the same name and an elementary school, and it's close to several shopping centers. There are hiking trails close by in the foothills. "That's kind of rare to have amenities accessible by walking and biking, which I think is really a huge plus," says Torie Robinson, owner/broker with Re/Max Elevate. Another attribute of the area is its proximity to the Sandia Mountains. "When you wake up, the sun is rising over the Sandias," Robinson says.

Southwestern-style single-family homes and townhouses

Many Academy Hills homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s. Their Southwestern architecture may include Pueblo-style elements like stucco exteriors and flat roofs. Driveways and multicar garages are standard. Some homes have been renovated and include various upgrades. The townhouses have architectural styles similar to single-family homes. Because of the size of the neighborhood, homes on the market may be in short supply. In the 12 months before mid-January 2025, single-family homes typically sold in the low $400,000s to the high $600,000s. Townhouses ranged from about $275,000 to $400,000 over the same period.
