A convenient and quiet community in North Albuquerque
The community of Northridge, in northern Albuquerque, consists of suburban streets sprawling out from either side of Wyoming Boulevard. “There are actually two halves to Northridge,” says Associate Broker Mike Haley of Coldwell Banker Legacy Realtors, who has 55 years of experience in the area. “They built all the homes on the west side and then jumped across Wyoming to start the other one. The eastern side is almost as large as the one on the western side, where there’s only one through street. Both areas share the same subdivision code. The whole place is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood.” The area appeals to homebuyers with its simple architecture, sizeable city lots and its quick access to multiple urban amenities.
Northridge offers a tranquil and inviting environment for its residents, with a strong sense of community and a relaxed pace of life.

Brick ranch-style homes attract regional transplant homebuyers
Prospective owners tend to favor Northridge due to its architecture and lot sizes. “The area has larger lots than other places around town, so people who want a big yard or a pool like it,” Haley says. “There are a lot of brick ranch-style homes as well, which is a big draw. Stucco is much more common around here, but people relocating from the Midwest really prefer brick. The brick is a lot more durable than stucco siding, as well. The stucco needs to be redone more. The wind and the sun dry it out, so lawnmowers and other things like that take chips out of it. The weather doesn’t bother the brick nearly as much.” Prices range from around $240,000 to $615,000 depending on square footage, the number of bedrooms and the status of any renovations.
Northridge offers a variety of ranch-style properties, perfect for families and individuals seeking single-level living.

The closest area grocery store is the Natural Grocers on Wyoming Boulevard, although residents can also head to the nearby Smiths. For daily household necessities, there is a Target just across Montgomery Boulevard to the south. “It’s very close to some good shopping and amenities, but what’s nice is that none of them are intrusive to the neighborhood,” Haley says.

Interstate 25 and Montgomery Boulevard are commuter options
Albuquerque is largely car-dependent, and residents of Northridge enjoy multiple options when it comes to commuting. “You could take Interstate 25 to get downtown, but a lot of people would probably go straight down Montgomery Boulevard to Second Street if they wanted to avoid the morning traffic,” Haley says. “The nice thing about Albuquerque is that it’s very commuter friendly. You can get just about anywhere in the city in just about 15 minutes.”
Residents of Northridge enjoy the ease of travel with the Albuquerque International Sunport just a short drive away.
