A quiet urban enclave in Albuquerque
Pueblo Alto is a central Albuquerque neighborhood that is most often referenced in conversation due to its proximity to other, better-known parts of the city. It is located near Nob Hill, for example, a vibrant hotspot that has proved a haven for foodies, and it is west of the International District, famous as the location of the New Mexico State Fair. The southern boundary of the neighborhood is a major surface thruway, lined with popular restaurants and shopping options. However, most of this neighborhood is a surprisingly green urban community that offers residents a quiet reprieve from the bustle of the city and the heat of the New Mexican sun.

Single-story stucco homes and Modern Traditional builds on surprisingly green streets
The grid-ordered residential streets of Pueblo Alto are generally lined with squat mid-century ranch-style homes, with the occasional two-story Modern Traditional sprinkled throughout. The sunbaked sidewalks are often hemmed by patches of drought-resistant greenery and shaded by tall, leafy trees. Nearly all homes have stucco siding, with brick and vinyl few and far between. “Within a quarter mile of the neighborhood, you’ll find million-dollar homes,” says Real Estate Broker Austin Wolff of The Lovely Home Company, who has 10 years of experience in the area. “But in this community, prices typically range between the low-$300,000s and high-$400,000s, so you get the benefit of being near the fancier neighborhoods without the hassle of increased prices.” Depending on the number of bedrooms and the square footage, some homes can rise almost to the $600,000 mark.
