North Albuquerque Acres
North Albuquerque Acres is one of the last areas in
the Albuquerque Real Estate Market combining an excellent location with
phenomenal views.
Located at the base of the Sandia Mountains western
slope North Albuquerque Acres stretches North of San Antonio and South of
Elena, West of Tennyson and East of Ventura and is commonly referred to by the
SWMLS as area 20. The majority of the houses in this area boast amenities
galore and are reserved for those that truly value the home in which they LIVE.
According to the Albuquerque Metropolitan Board of REALTORS the average home
price in the area was over $590K.
The main High School for the area is the very popular
La Cueva High School, which often places as one of the best in New Mexico.
Eisenhower Middle School and Desert Ridge Middle School are the two mid schools
for the area and both are exceptional in student performance. Double Eagle,
Georgia O’Keefe and Huber Humphrey are the elementary school younger children
attend. Also in the vicinity are the prestigious Albuquerque Academy, Hope
Christian and several advanced pre-schools.
North Albuquerque Acres is located close enough to
Albuquerque to utilize the conveniences of city living while still affording
the privacy of quite rural living. One can enjoy shopping at several recently
built supermarkets or head for a hike in one of the many nearby open spaces in
the Sandia Foothills.
In 1934 Albert Simms bought
most of what was left of the Mutual Investment Company's portion of the grant
and left much of it to Albuquerque Academy when he died. Over the years parts
of the academy land holdings have been sold to fund an endowment. Originally
Simms' property extended to the crest of the Sandias. That mountain land was
included in a three-way trade between the academy, the U.S. Forest Service, and
the City of Albuquerque. The trade was important to the preservation of open
space in the Sandia foothills. The final result of the trade added the
mountains to the Cibola National Forest, created a land trust to help fund the
fledgling Albuquerque Open Space Program, and provided revenues to Albuquerque
Academy. Simms Park and the Elena Gallegos Picnic Area located within it are a
showpiece of the city's open space program. The entire open-space tract
occupies approximately 640 acres; 11 acres of which is the picnic area.
Recently several high end
developments and neighborhoods have formed. These include Lee Michael Homes,
D.R. Horton, Homes by Joe Boyden, Nor Este Estates, Heritage East, Bear Homes, Harwell
Custom Homes, Tierra Homes, Homes by Marie, Bealhen Construction and Wallen
Builders just to name a few.
