Suburban neighborhood with nearby businesses and highly rated schools
About 11 miles northeast of downtown Albuquerque, the suburban neighborhood of Albuquerque Acres West “is a bedroom community with retail businesses nearby and excellent schools,” says Sally Machacek, Associate Broker with Keller Williams Realty.
