Eastridge combines a suburban atmosphere with city convenience

Eastridge is a midcentury suburban neighborhood that blends into the cityscape of east Albuquerque. It is notable for its convenience to major area employers like Kirtland Air Force Base and its access to citywide shopping destinations. “It’s one of those areas where there are more renters than owners,” says Realtor Jim Shive with Keller Williams, who has over 12 years of experience in the area. “It’s close to highways and shopping, and the homes are older and reasonably priced. All of that makes it a great neighborhood for first-time buyers and renters, but there are also lots of people who buy there and stay for a long time.”

Eastridge boasts gorgeous mountain views as far as the eye can see.

Midcentury ranch-style homes dominate this southwestern neighborhood

Midcentury homes are predominant and packed together on Eastridge's streets. Many have drought-resistant landscaping and backyards large enough to accommodate in-ground swimming pools. “Lots of homes in Eastridge are older. Many were built in the 1960s and 1970s and are pretty small – 1,700 square feet is the average size,” Shive says. “You’ll mostly find brick ranch-style houses, but there are some with stucco siding and those more traditional southwestern features.” Prices range from $320,000 to $625,000, varying based on square footage, number of bedrooms and status of any renovations.

Residents of Eastridge take pride in their homes with well-manicures lawns.

Summer Hills Park, roughly in the center of the community, has a small playground and a paved walking path shaded at either end by mature, leafy trees. West of Tramway Boulevard, hikers can wander through the foothills of the Sandia Mountains on any of the east side trails.

Tramway Boulevard and I-40 make Eastridge accessible

A major north-south connector for east Albuquerque is less than a mile from Eastridge. “The neighborhood is right by Tramway Boulevard, which is your best connection to Interstate 40,” Shive says. Residents can opt instead to take surface streets when commuting to Kirtland Air Force Base or Albuquerque ER and Hospital. However, I-40 is the most direct route to the University of New Mexico and the Albuquerque International Sunport.

Eastridge denizens can easily travel to Albuquerque and beyond via Interstate 40.
