Locals also value the suburb’s location along Interstate 40 and close to Albuquerque International Sundrop.

Pueblo Revivals and ranch-style homes offer a wide price range
One and two-story Pueblo Revival-style homes with warm-toned stucco exteriors fill Sandia Ridge. Ranch-style homes make up the remainder of the community, with many featuring open floorplans and horizontal frameworks, typical of prairie design. These early to late 20th-century properties have attached garages, pebbled lawns and a combination of old and new-growth trees sparse enough to enjoy views of the distant mountainside. Homebuyers can expect a price range from $215,000 to $500,000. However, larger homes can exceed $600,000 and reach up to $800,000.

Less than a mile from the community, eCADEMY High School provides a virtual curriculum for those needing a more flexible learning structure.
