An established neighborhood close to shopping and the Sandias
Eldorado Heights is a neighborhood in Northeast Albuquerque. "It's an established neighborhood in a favorable school district. All of the infrastructure that you would want is there, with shopping close, parks close, gyms, restaurants and brewhouses," says Shane Dolinski, an associate broker and team lead with Realty One of New Mexico. Another benefit of living in Eldorado Heights is its proximity to the Sandia Mountain Range. Dolinski, also on the board of directors for the Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors (GAR), says many people take advantage of the hundreds of miles of foothills' trails for walking, hiking and cycling.
