A welcoming community with access to major employers and restaurant districts
The Southeast Heights of Albuquerque is a suburban neighborhood just southeast of downtown. It sits just removed from Historic U.S. Route 66 and from the University of New Mexico, drawing prospective residents from among the student population. Others move here for its proximity to major regional employers like Kirtland Air Force Base and Netflix. It is a friendly neighborhood, as is usual for inhabitants of the high desert. “This is a very warm and welcoming place,” says Giulia Urquhart, associate broker with Coldwell Banker Legacy, who has 16 years of experience in the area. “I showed a house with gorgeous entertaining space to a client last year, and she asked me, ‘Who will we entertain? We don’t have any friends here.’ I told her, ‘You will.’ She called me recently to say that I was right. New Mexicans throughout the city are invariably kind and open to new residents.”
Southeast Heights is a friendly neighborhood, with beautiful homes in the high desert.
Southeast Heights locals go to nearby Manzano Mesa Park, which offers pickleball courts among other amenities.
The Southeast Heights neighborhood is bordered by U.S. Route 66, also called Central Avenue.

Suburban homes with ample outdoor living space
The suburban streets of Southeast Heights are lined with single- and two-story stucco-sided homes, many featuring Pueblo-inspired architectural features. Flat roofs are common, although many midcentury cottages and ranch-style homes have low-gabled roofs. Modern Traditional builds occasionally feature Spanish tile roofs. Many front lawns have been xeriscaped, foregoing traditional grass in favor of stones, sand and shrubs that thrive in the high desert atmosphere. Backyards are frequently large enough to accommodate in-ground pools or sprawling patios. “We average 310 days of sunshine per year, which makes life very comfortable,” Urquhart says. “We live outside three seasons of the year, so outdoor living space is important.” Prices typically range from around $240,000 to almost $850,000 depending on lot size, build year and the status of any renovations. However, some larger properties that incorporate more midcentury modern flair can cost over $1 million.

Convenient transit options include trams and the interstates
Central Avenue and Gibson Boulevard are the two closest thoroughfares, connecting the neighborhood to popular shopping districts, the restaurants and museums downtown and Kirtland Airforce Base, a major area employer. While limited, public transportation is available nearby. “We do have the ART tram system, which runs east and west along the commercial area of Central Avenue, or the old U.S. Route 66,” Urquhart says. “For private driving, traffic is typically a non-issue except at rush hours.” Backups are generally concentrated on Interstate 40, the main east-west throughway, and Interstate 25, which is the most direct route north to Santa Fe.
Southeast Heights roads are linked to Interstate 25, which is the quickest way for locals to get to Santa Fe.
