Neighborhood in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Bernalillo County 87112
Mid-century charm meets modern practicality in Mesa Village, an established neighborhood close to shopping, dining and major employers like Sandia Labs and Kirtland Air Force Base. If you’re looking for a well-kept ranch-style home in the desirable Northeast Heights, set your sights here.
Typical of the city’s post-war building boom, the prevailing home styles in Mesa Village are stucco and red brick ranch, built with families in mind. Three-bedroom, two-bath homes up to 1,900 square feet boast appealing updates like open floor plans, gourmet kitchens and walk-in closets. Occasionally, a home by the prolific Northeast Heights builder Fred Mossman will come up for sale. Mossman earned a reputation for quality construction; many buyers still seek out his designs. Lots in Mesa Village are generally a fifth of an acre or smaller. However, wide driveways allow multiple cars, and generous backyards tout covered patios for enjoying mountain views. Many homes accommodate RV parking, which is convenient for weekend getaways. There’s no homeowner’s association dictating what you can do with your property in Mesa Village, so residents express personality and pride of ownership with details like wrought iron and colorful tile. On average, buyers can expect to pay in the low- to mid-$300,000s for a 1950s or 1960s three-bedroom home with at least 1,200 square feet of living space and modern updates. But if you’re looking for something newer, you’re in luck: Town houses built in the early 2000s boast three bedrooms, 1,200 square feet of living space and two-car garages. Expect to pay at least $275,000 or more for one of these properties in turnkey condition.
Residents of Mesa Village live near one of the city’s oldest, most visited multi-use parks. Los Altos Park recently underwent a $15 million renovation to boost regional tourism. Head here to watch a softball tournament, grab your favorite food truck grub or beat the heat at the indoor pool. Bring your pooch for off-leash fun at the dog park, which has separate play areas for small and large dogs. BMX bikers, skateboarders and in-line skaters can challenge their skills on the concrete banks, bowls and stairs at the skate park, the largest in southwest Albuquerque. Nearby, Wade Circle Park offers a triangular-shaped playground and a large grassy area for ball games.
Students in Mesa Village may attend Albuquerque Public Schools, including Bellehaven and Hawthorne elementary schools. Hayes Middle School focuses academics on science, technology, engineering and math. As a dual-language school, it allows students to speak and learn in Spanish and English and work toward a bilingual seal on their high school diploma. Grant Middle School offers traditional athletics and after-school clubs, plus an eSports team that competes against schools in the western U.S. Older students may attend the highly regarded Sandia High School, the only comprehensive high school in New Mexico offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Famous alums include Janet Napolitano, a former US Secretary of Homeland Security and former Arizona governor.
Mesa Village’s Northeast Heights location provides quick access to shopping, restaurants and Interstate 40, making commutes across the city a breeze. Locally, you can support small businesses at The ABQ Collective. This community of artisans includes a coffee shop, a hair salon and multiple independent retailers. Peruse the shops for silver jewelry, vinyl records, bath soaps and other handcrafted goods perfect for gift-giving. Find unique products, food trucks and live music at the Backyard Markets event held multiple times per month and emphasizing vegan fare every fourth Saturday. After a morning of shopping, enjoy lunch at the nearby Basil Leaf Vietnamese Restaurant. Locals rave about the brisket pho and lemongrass tofu banh mi. Head south on Eubank Boulevard for a hearty breakfast at Owl Café, beloved for its kitschy chrome décor and tabletop jukeboxes. Across the parking lot, Sadie’s, known for its house specialty enchiladas and excellent service, will satisfy your craving for Mexican fare. I-40, just south of the neighborhood, opens up the city and beyond.
