Rural living with modern conveniences in North Albuquerque Acres
Set 13 miles northeast of downtown Albuquerque, the suburb of North Albuquerque Acres offers a combination of rural living with nearby conveniences. Home to nearly 7,400 people, the neighborhood “feels relaxed and pleasant,” says resident David Neale, President of the North Albuquerque Acres Community Association. “We have space to walk our dogs or ride our bikes, and we cut down on light pollution to see the stars – some astronomers have small observatories in their backyards here.” Almost half of the population is retired, and the other half commute to downtown Albuquerque, or work from home; families send their kids to highly rated schools nearby. Homes with Sandia Mountain views and Pueblo or Spanish-inspired architecture adorn winding streets, and shopping, dining and outdoor recreation options are short drives away.

Pueblo- and Spanish Revival-style homes at a higher price point
“People are proud of their homes here,” says Neale, adding that they’re very clean and well-maintained. Many of these are up to five-bedroom Pueblo and Spanish Revival-style on at least 1-acre lots, ranging from $730,000 to $2.5 million, with vacant lots of up to an acre starting at $230,000. Common features include earth-toned stucco exteriors, three-car garages and rock-edged foundations with mature piñon or ash trees in the front, and patios in the back; driveways can hold horse trailers or RVs, and stucco walls or metal fences enclose most properties, which helps deter crime. “I’m very proud to say we are isolated from most of the crime in downtown Albuquerque. Every once in a great while we’ll have a vehicle stolen, but for the most part we’re pretty blessed.” The CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
North Albuquerque Acres neighborhood provides a wide array of home styles.

Readers hit up Page 1 Books, a favorite since 1981, 3 miles south, while shoppers head roughly 8 miles southwest to Coronado Mall for department stores like Macy’s.

Spring cleaning and annual speakers
“We organize annual spring-cleaning events through the association,” says Neale, “where the community collects trash along streets and brings it to Ben Greiner Park to dump in our county dumpsters. We also have a tire amnesty program, where we gather used tires and bring them to the county to dispose of. One of our goals is to hold more family-friendly events at Ben Greiner Park, like ice-cream socials or pet parades.” Speakers from local government and law enforcement offices are featured during annual October association meetings.

Residents here are mostly car dependent, connected by Paseo Del Norte Boulevard, the area’s main thoroughfare, linking locals to shops and restaurants. Interstate 25 leads southwest toward downtown Albuquerque, 13 miles away; commute times to the city can be up to 15 minutes. “City buses don’t come through the heart of our neighborhood, so those wanting to take public transportation have to walk a while to get to a bus stop,” says Neale. “And even though we don’t have a lot of sidewalks, people still take their dogs out for a walk, and some commute by bike along a few of our designated lanes.” PRESNow hospital is 4 miles west, and the city’s airport, Albuquerque International Sunport, sits 15 miles southwest.
