Edgewood offers a small-town atmosphere east of Albuquerque

Edgewood is a small, primarily residential town that sits in the high desert just east of Albuquerque. Although development here is relatively new, the young town has quickly built a sense of camaraderie among its residents. “It’s very popular with people who are trying to get out of Albuquerque,” says Jeanette Raver, a qualifying broker with Realty One of New Mexico, who has 39 years of experience in the area. “Albuquerque is just too big to know very many people. Edgewood, although it’s still growing, already has a great sense of community and togetherness. They’re always having community car shows, and they’ve established a Fourth of July event. It’s become an old-fashioned place with modern trappings.”

Suburban homes on spacious rural lots

The residential streets of Edgewood carve through the mesa east of Albuquerque, with single-story homes scattered on flat, open tracts of land. A few drought-resistant trees adorn the lawns here and there, and the Sandia Mountains rise high on the western horizon. “The area is pretty wide open and rural, but the homes are very suburban, with a lot of recent construction,” Raver says. “There aren’t many track homes there, though. You’ll find ranch-style homes and southwestern Pueblo-inspired houses, most on over an acre of land.” Depending on square footage, build year, acreage and number of bedrooms, prices range from around $210,000 to $720,000.

Moriarty High includes a strong performing arts program

Edgewood students begin at South Mountain Elementary School, rated A-minus by Niche. Edgewood Middle also receives an A-minus. “After middle school, kids go to Moriarty High in the next town over,” Raver says. Moriarty High earns a B-minus and offers students access to the Moriarty Performing Arts Center, a facility that houses the school’s music, dance and theater programs and serves as an events venue for the town.

All Roads Cafe offers casual meals within the town limits

Residents do not need to travel beyond the community to stock up on daily necessities. “They have a Walmart, a Walgreens and a Smith’s right there, so that covers basically everything you need on a day-to-day basis,” Raver says. “There aren’t a lot of restaurants there – most people head into Albuquerque for that – but there are a couple of places right along the Interstate 40 corridor.” Locally owned options in Edgewood include All Roads Café, which serves a varied menu featuring sandwiches, salads and pasta.

Wildlife West Nature Park and South Mountain offer outdoor recreation

Venus Park has a multipurpose athletic field and a shaded picnic shelter. The community sits in the shadow of South Mountain, which is a popular destination for outdoor recreation. “South Mountain has hiking trails, and lots of people ride horses up through there,” Raver says. “And there’s the Wildlife West Nature Park, which is really neat. It’s sort of like a zoo, but it features more mountain and desert wildlife, like coyotes and elk.”

Interstate 40 is Edgewood's major thoroughfare

Public transportation options are limited in Edgewood. One bus line leaves from the community center and makes the trip north to Santa Fe in just under two hours. “Interstate 40 is the main commuter lane,” Raver says. “It’s a quick 15 to 20 minutes into Albuquerque, which is a trip most people out there are making.” I-40 is also the most direct route to the Albuquerque International Sunport and to Kindred Hospital.
