Western Albuquerque neighborhood big on community
West Mesa is a mostly residential neighborhood near the west bank of the Rio Grande. It’s home to two neighborhood schools, several local restaurants on busy commercial streets and a community center. “Everyone is close-knit,” says Raquel Cordova, the recreation center supervisor for West Mesa Community Center. “We have our regulars who come in. We have community garage sales, and we have a lot of neighborhood associations and homeowners associations that come around too. They kind of all know each other, and they come out for all the big events.”
West Mesa welcomes families to its friendly neighborhood.
The West Mesa Community Center is in the middle of the West Mesa neighborhood.

Affordable childcare at West Mesa Community Center
The West Mesa Community Center is in the middle of the neighborhood, with open pickleball and basketball courts, a variety of classes and childcare. “It’s really affordable, so parents utilize us a lot,” Cordova says. “It’s only $10 for childcare for the whole school year, and we transport kids to and from school with our city vehicles.” Staff accompany children to both Lavaland Elementary and John Adams Middle, though childcare programming is open to families across the city.
A network of paved trails that run beside the interstate leads from the neighborhood to the west bank of the Rio Grande. Nearby Pat Hurley Park consists of two smaller green spaces connected by a walking path that weaves through both, adding up to more than a mile. Both areas have playgrounds, and the more elevated of the two offers views of Albuquerque’s skyline in front of the rugged Sandia Mountains. The park is also home to two playgrounds, four pickleball and two tennis courts.
The West Mesa Community Center has before and after school childcare, sports programs, and various classes for all ages.
West Mesa residents can enjoy the many trails and paths located nearby.

These homes come with private backyards—often with paved, shaded patios—though some properties in this price range may need upgrades or renovations.

Breakfast options are available at long-time West Mesa diners
Local restaurants line both Central Avenue and Coors Boulevard. Mac’s La Sierra Family Restaurant sits along the former, marked by a sign topped with a plastic, pot-bellied cow. The restaurant has been a neighborhood fixture since 1952, and its extensive menu includes steak and chops, breakfast dishes and Mexican cuisine. “I really love Weck’s, which is right around the corner from the community center," Cordova says. Its breakfast menu, which is served until 2 p.m. and comes in light and gluten-free versions, consists of “full belly” omelets, hash browns doused with red or green chile, pancakes, waffles, eggs Benedict and breakfast burritos. A Walmart Supercenter is immediately north of the neighborhood, while El Super, another grocery store, is to the east.

West Mesa is between two commercial corridors and Interstate 40
West Mesa is located near several important western Albuquerque thoroughfares. Interstate 40 connects the neighborhood to downtown, which is about 5 miles away, and crosses the state from east to west. Central Avenue also leads to downtown, while Coors Boulevard travels throughout the city’s western suburbs. Both are major commercial corridors for the neighborhood. ABQ RIDE buses stop along both roads, taking passengers to other western Albuquerque neighborhoods and across the river to downtown.
West Mesa residents can commute via the ABQ Ride buses.
