Regions of the City
NW - The Northwest QuadrantThis is the most diversified of the quadrants. It includes the North Valley area where prestigious residential and rural horse ranch properties parallel the east banks of the Rio Grande River. Across the river on the west side you will find two distinct residential areas: The West Bluff area, bordered on the west by Coors Blvd. and on the east by the Rio Grande River, is where you iwll find primarily custom residences overlooking the Rio Grande River and enjoying spectacular views of the Sandia Mountains and City lights. West of Coors Blvd., more traditional subdivision-type neighborhoods can be found. The West side has been host to a major percentage of the city's growth within the past ten years, including the home to New Mexico's second largest shopping mall - Cottonwood Mall; as well as a great deal of new retail development, new restaurants and services. Highly desirable neighborhoods such as Oxbow communities and
Black Farm Estates can be found on the west side. The West side provides the entrance and connection to Rio Rancho and Corrales. Much of the west side is very convenient to downtown and making up the remainder of the metro area. Rio Rancho has grown rapidly since its incorporation in 1981, and today is home to more than 70,000 residents. The City of Albuquerque (population over 523,000) provides a central downtown district, a well-maintained historic area, an international airport and the greatest majority of the industrial, commercial, and residential development in the state.
SW - The Southwest Quadrant
This quadrant is primarily rural and agricultural and often referred to as the South Valley. However, there are areas located within this quadrant with residential subdivisions including the renowned Old County Club neighborhood. Lushly landscaped and quiet, this neighborhood is considered one of the most desirable locations in the city. Much of downtown Albuquerque is also located in the Southwest quadrant, where the revival continues.
NE - The Northeast Quadrant
Most of the expansion in this quadrant has been near the base of the Sandia Mountains. The Far NE area & Sandia Heights area has a high desert setting with spectacular views of the city lights. The northeast area is a mixture of residential bordered by office and retail services in a grid type street system, offering a variety of price ranges. Some of the most affluent subdivisions lie within this area, including Sandia Heights, Tanoan, High Desert and Glenwood Hills. Closer "in", the University of New Mexico area is extremely popular and also offers a variety of middle and upper middle income housing opportunities.
SE - The Southeast Quadrant
In this quadrant you will find Kirtland Air Force Base which includes Sandia National Laboratory and the Albuquerque International Airport. Housing developments include Four Hills which has a desirable country club, the well-established Ridgecrest area and the refreshingly contemporary Willow Wood & Volterra. This quandrant is also home to the newly constructed ABQ Studios within the boundaries of the new masterplanned community, Mesa Del Sol.
