Suburban neighborhood with nearby conveniences and mountain views
Set about 7 miles east of downtown Albuquerque, the suburban Fairgrounds neighborhood offers easy access to shopping, dining and the University of New Mexico with Sandia Mountain views. Home to over 16,000 people, “the neighborhood’s a mix of singles, families and older crowds, who like being near malls with quick access to major companies like Amazon and Facebook,” says Michael McCracken, an experienced Associate Broker with Keller Williams Riverside. “The movie and TV industries are getting big here now because of the tax incentives; Breaking Bad was filmed not too far from here.” Residents can walk or take short drives to family-owned restaurants, or hit up nearby parks; family-friendly events happen year-round.

Chicken pot pies, coffee and peppers
To the northwest, country-themed signs adorn the walls of family-owned Christy Mae’s Restaurant, serving “Albuquerque turkey, chicken pot pies with corn bread and chicken salad since 1982,” says owner Larry Ashby, who’s been in the restaurant business for 45 years. “We can feed a family of 4 for about $40 since we only charge $2.99 for kids under 12; we try to help folks out here as best we can.” Further west, residents can refuel with an espresso from Humble Coffee Company, then peruse Nordstrom Rack at the Winrock Town Center shopping mall 2 miles north, before reaching Smith’s for groceries. Across from Smith’s is Sichler Farms, an outdoor market kiosk featuring hot roasted green chiles and hanging clusters of spicy peppers, open from August through October.
