An established community in Northeastern Albuquerque

Holiday Park in northeast Albuquerque stands out among its neighbors for its age and modesty. “If you go a little bit northeast of Holiday Park, you’ll find neighborhoods full of really high-end custom-built homes,” says Realtor John Sheffer with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services New Mexico, who has over 20 years of experience in the area. “If you go a little bit north, you hit golf course communities. Holiday Park is in that area but is older and still affordable. It’s an established neighborhood where comradery between neighbors is still a thing, which you just don’t find a lot of these days.” Flanked on either side by popular restaurants, major thoroughfares and parks, Holiday Park offers residents access to all of Albuquerque from the foothills of the Sandia Mountains.

Single-story homes from the 1970s and Pueblo-style townhouses

Over 1,000 homes line the densely packed streets of Holiday Park, coming in a variety of styles. “It was built primarily in the 1970s, so there’s a lot of brick,” Sheffer says. “Homes there are predominantly single-story, but you’ll find a few split-levels throughout. The big draw is the affordability because it’s one of the only remaining entry neighborhoods on the northeast side of town that’s still achievable for first-time buyers and young families.” Ranch-style houses and Craftsman cottages are common, although stucco-sided Modern Traditional builds and townhouses with Pueblo-inspired features can also be found. Townhouses tend to cost between $305,000 and $400,000, while detached single-family homes can range from about $275,000 to $460,000 depending on square footage, the number of bedrooms and the build year.

John Baker Elementary and Hoover Middle are within walking distance

Tramway Boulevard offers access to major area employers

From Holiday Park, most of Albuquerque is readily accessible via surface streets or highways. “The beautiful thing about Albuquerque is that we’re within a 15- or 20-minute drive of anywhere,” Sheffer says. “We’re kind of spoiled in that sense.” Tramway Boulevard is the closest major thruway, connecting the neighborhood south to Interstate 40 and two major employers. “For folks working at Kirtland Airforce Base or the Sandia National Laboratories, Holiday Park is very convenient,” Sheffer adds.

Breweries, restaurants and shopping on all sides of Holiday Park

The closest grocery store is the Albertsons Market on Juan Tabo Boulevard, but other options include a pair of Walmart Neighborhood Markets, one to the north at El Dorado Square Shopping Center and one to the south at the corner of Menaul Boulevard. The nearest big-box retailer is the Walmart Supercenter on Wyoming Boulevard. There is a Lowe’s in the southwestern corner of Holiday Park for any DIY project needs. “If buyers are looking to put in some sweat equity work on their homes, there are plenty of options within the neighborhood,” Sheffer says. Most nearby restaurants are on the west side, such as Mexican spot Garcia’s Kitchen and the Royal Hyderabad, serving South Indian fare. However, in the southeasternmost corner, residents can grab after-work beers at Boxing Bear Brewing Co. and order food from neighboring eateries like Tako Ten and The Burrow Café.

Trails through the Sandia Mountain foothills and close-to-home community centers

The Sandia Mountains east of the neighborhood inform much of the area’s outdoor recreation. “There is a fair number of parks nearby. It’s at the base of the foothills, where there are lots of trails and open space,” Sheffer says. In addition to the small playground at Holiday Park Neighborhood Park and the McLeod Family Y, residents enjoy access to trailheads like the Piedra Lisa Canyon Loop winding through these foothills. “The Elena Gallegos Open Space is huge and just north of Holiday Park,” he adds. “You could walk there if you’re brave enough.” Options closer to home include the Holiday Park Community Center, which offers a fitness center, basketball gymnasium and a game room.

Hockey, concerts and monster trucks in Albuquerque

Tramway Boulevard, the eastern boundary of the neighborhood, heads straight north to Outpost Ice Arenas, where residents can catch New Mexico Ice Wolves hockey games. They can also make the trip to the Tingley Coliseum for concerts, monster truck rallies and flea markets throughout the year.
