Northeast Heights brings convenience to the suburbs
Located near the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, Northeast Heights is a suburban Albuquerque neighborhood known for its proximity to everyday necessities. “It’s very well laid out, with good schools and commercial areas conveniently tucked in,” says Re/Max Realtor Jean Chavez, who has sold in the city for 25 years. The neighborhood is ideal for professionals working on the city's outskirts in the Sandia research parks, laboratories or the Kirtland Air Force Base. “One of the biggest reasons those workers may move here is so they don’t have to cross the Rio Grande during rush hour.” While accessibility is a top draw to Northeast Heights, it’s also popular for its parks and quiet residential streets.

Ranch-style homes within walking distance of parks
Buyers will primarily find single-family ranch-style homes with Spanish Mission and Pueblo influences. Many facades have earthy tones, and most were constructed with stucco siding in the mid-20th century. Prices go from $220,000 to $600,000, though outliers fall on both ends of the range. Residential streets typically have sidewalks and driveways to keep parked cars off the road. Most homes sit either right off or within walking distance of a community park.

Education through Albuquerque Public Schools
Many children in Northeast Heights are zoned for Comanche Elementary and Cleveland Middle, both with B-plus ratings by Niche. Others begin at Sombra del Monte Elementary, which earns a B-minus, before heading to Madison Middle, with an A-minus. Students then attend A-rated Sandia High, which has an International Baccalaureate program. Despite their zone, students may apply to any school within the Albuquerque Public Schools district. Private education is available in the neighborhood for prekindergarten through eighth grade at A-rated Christ Lutheran School.

Activities at city parks, athletic facilities and in the mountains
Locals can choose from an array of recreation spaces, from the Sandia Mountains, 10 miles east, to numerous pocket parks. Most residents can step outside their homes and reach a park within one or two blocks. “There are plenty of walking and biking trails throughout the area, tucked into the neighborhoods,” Chavez says. Hoffman Park provides soccer fields, a playground and basketball, tennis and pickleball courts. About 3 miles south, Los Altos Park has a skating plaza, softball diamonds and an indoor pool. Other facilities, like the Betsy Patterson Pool at Sandia High School and the Arroyo del Oso Golf Course, are also open to the public.

Close to shopping and dining east of the river
One of the main draws to Northeast Heights is its proximity to commercial development. Numerous shopping centers operate off Wyoming Boulevard, with big-box options including Walmart, Whole Foods and Smith’s. Residents are also 2 miles from the Coronado Center, a mall with dozens of major retailers. The area is near a variety of dining options, like Scarpas, a popular brick oven pizza spot. “There’s anything from traditional New Mexican and Asian food to some high-end restaurants,” Chavez says.
