National park and golf course surround Ladera West
The residential streets of Ladera West are tucked between the sprawling Ladera Golf Course to the east and the National Park Service-maintained Petroglyph National Monument to the west, where symbols and designs carved by Indigenous Peoples and Spanish settlers are preserved in volcanic rock. “When the weather is good, there are a lot of people out there,” says Alex Cordova, the team lead for eXp Realty, referring to the national park. “Whether they are considering or moving to Albuquerque, people always ask where the good hiking trails are.”
Mountains flank the flat greens of Ladera Golf Course
Ladera West is close to several trails that lead into the Petroglyph National Monument, though the neighborhood has several green spaces of its own as well. Rinconada Point Park has a pickleball court, a basketball court, workout equipment and a sandy playground. The Ouray Dog Park features an obstacle course and separate spaces for small and larger breeds. Water is available for hotter New Mexico days when pups can be found cooling off in small inflatable pools.
The Ladera Golf Course makes up a large portion of Ladera West, the longest playing yardage course in the city. Spanning 27 fairways, including a 9-hole executive course, the grounds juxtapose the rocky Albuquerque Volcanoes to the west and the towering Sandia Mountains to the east. “It’s a driving factor given how popular golf is,” Cordova says. “It’s a pretty desired sport across the city.” The public course also has a 19-hole disc golf course and hosts events like Thirsty Thursday, with live music, food and drinks.
Pueblo-style townhouses and stucco bungalows
New traditional bungalows from the 1990s and 2000s were often built in red brick or sandy shades of stucco. These homes range between $270,000 and $450,000, and many come with patios shaded from the New Mexico sun. Two-story new traditional homes with tuck-under garages and Pueblo influences—mostly constructed in the early to mid-2000s—fetch between $330,000 and $430,000. Many of these larger homes are clustered on the western side of the neighborhood, and some have room for outdoor amenities like pools, swing sets and fire pits. Three-bedroom townhouses in flat, Pueblo-style buildings cost between $260,000 and $300,000.
