Paradise Heights has plenty of amenities in Northwest Albuquerque
Paradise Heights is a residential neighborhood that’s centrally located between several public amenities in Northwest Albuquerque. The first houses started going up in the late 1980s following a major growth spurt, with new arrivals including a golf course, a high school and a hospital. After the Cottonwood Mall opened in 1996, the area experienced a significant surge in commercial development with new businesses, shops and restaurants. “It’s an established neighborhood that borders Rio Rancho, which is the fastest growing city in the state,” says Leigh-Jo Anzures, a local broker and owner of Syan Real Estate. “They’re pretty much adjacent to each other.” With spacious homes, nearby parks and a walkable layout, Paradise Heights is a small suburb in Albuquerque with a lot to offer.
