Robust shopping centers sit nearby
Residents can pick up a pastry from within the neighborhood at Little Bear Coffee on Pennsylvania Street Northeast. Sonya Avila, a Realtor with eXp Realty and an east Albuquerque native, notes the café as a popular spot among locals alongside Los Cuates on Menaul Boulevard. “They serve New Mexican food, which is a staple of the area,” Avila says. A Walmart Supercenter is nearby on Wyoming Boulevard Northeast. Still, most shop a mile southwest where Coronado Center, the state’s largest mall, ABQ Uptown and Winrock Town Center are clustered. “They just opened an outdoor space at Winrock with a park and food vendors,” Avila says. “They have markets where people sell produce and host live music. It’s one of the newer things coming to Albuquerque.” Trader Joe’s is also in this commercial corridor for grocery hauls.
