Sandia Ridge encompasses a welcoming community with amenities on all sides
“Albuquerque is the state’s biggest city, but it still has a small-town vibe,” says Sonya Avila, a local Realtor with eXp Realty and east Albuquerque native. This sentiment defines Sandia Ridge, where residents can get involved through the neighborhood association, which hosts regular events and works to maintain the community. Well-ranked schools and several surrounding parks also serve the quiet neighborhood alongside Uptown, the hub for shopping on the city’s eastern side. Locals also value the suburb’s location along Interstate 40 and close to Albuquerque International Sundrop.
Sandia Ridge offers beautiful Pueblo style homes, showcasing Southwestern flair and distinctive design.

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.

Albuquerque High School prioritizes bilingual education
Albuquerque Public Schools serves the community and earns a B-plus on Niche. Avila mentions that many move to the area for its schools. Students attend Zia Elementary School, Jefferson Middle School and Albuquerque High School, all of which score an A-minus. However, School Choice allows enrollment to other schools across the district. The home of the Bulldogs is a bilingual institution, offering Honors and AP courses taught in complete Spanish. Less than a mile from the community, eCADEMY High School provides a virtual curriculum for those needing a more flexible learning structure.
Jefferson Middle School is located in Albuquerque near the University of New Mexico.
