McKinley’s primary draw is convenience
Situated between Interstate 25 and Uptown Albuquerque, McKinley is a residential neighborhood close to parks, schools and commercial districts. “The big advantage is location,” says Realtor Susan Storan with Re/Max, who has 13 years of experience selling real estate in the city. “It’s convenient to big employers, like the university, the Coronado Mall, dining and the Air Force base.” In McKinley, homebuyers find the same level of accessibility as neighborhoods like Nob Hill at a more affordable price point.

The neighborhood features single-family homes and condos
Earth-toned Pueblo Revivals and ranch-style homes line McKinley’s residential streets. Many properties have gated or fenced-in yards and driveways, typically large enough for multiple cars. “Homes here are more affordable than in the North Valley,” Storan says. “There are some condo options, though the community developed in the 1950s and 1960s and has mostly single-family homes.” Houses often go for $150,000 to $350,000, and condos sell between $180,000 and $200,000.

Recreation is available at local parks, the river and the mountains
McKinley features several parks within walking distance. Grisham Park has a playground, soccer fields and picnic tables, and Cardwell Park provides a shaded green space and benches off Comanche Road. Open fields, a playground and basketball hoops comprise Villela Park, adjacent to Ken’s Pickleball Courts. Residents can also venture west of the community to the Rio Grande or east into the mountains. “The nice thing about Albuquerque is that you’re five to 10 minutes from the Sandia Mountains, so you can be hiking with your dog in the foothills by morning,” Storan says. Sandía translates to watermelon in Spanish, and when the sun sets and casts a pink and red glow on the mountains, Storan says, “They actually look like watermelons.”
Grisham Park is the perfect place for an afternoon walk in McKinley.
McKinley residents can spend a great afternoon with friends at the nearby Los Altos Golf Course.
