West Bluff hovers above the Rio Grande
West Bluff is an Albuquerque neighborhood located in the pocket created by Interstate 40 and the commercial corridor of Coors Boulevard, perched above the west bank of the Rio Grande. “You get full views of the Rio Grande on top of east-facing Albuquerque and the Sandia Mountains,” says Alex Cordova, a team lead with eXp Realty. “The Sandia Mountains draw people’s attention.” Neighborhood parks offer stunning views of mountainous terrain with the famous red river snaking in front, a short drive from a number of casual restaurants and stores. Homes come in a range of prices and varieties, from riverfront builds to townhouses.
Old Town is close by to explore and for dining and shopping.
West Bluff Park has an overlook of the Rio Grande.

Pueblo-inspired estates with mountain and river views
Flat, ranch-style homes with Pueblo-inspired architecture often range from $200,000 to $325,000. Built throughout the 1970s, many of these homes are upgraded with extra insulation and advanced cooling systems to address the region’s drastic temperature changes. Sprawling Pueblo-style homes and haciendas on about half an acre are suspended on a cliff over the Rio Grande, fetching between $500,000 and $600,000. Townhouses with two to three bedrooms cost between $200,000 and $300,000. “It had different developers building different things, so it went in different directions,” Cordova says, regarding the wide range of pricing in the neighborhood.
West Bluff has many townhomes with a nod to Pueblo style.

Neighborhood parks with views of the Sandia Mountains
A playground and a shaded picnic area mark the entrance to West Bluff Park, though the main attraction of the green space may be its views of the Sandia Mountain range with the city and the Rio Grande in the forefront. A path meanders through the rectangular park, leading to a viewing area and a gridded barrier on which visitors hang locks. The four baseball diamonds of Redlands Park make a clover shape immediately north of the neighborhood. A playground with an apt baseball theme is nearby, and the towering Sandia Mountains loom in the background.
Baseball practice and games take place at Redlands Park.
