Tijeras Real Estate and East Mountain Property

Looking for homes on the East side of the Sandia Mountains is always an adventure! The entire area really makes you forget that you are only 20-45 minutes away from from the heart of Albuquerque. A majority of the homes in this area are surrounded by beautiful pine and piñon trees with several aspen sprinkled throughout. During the fall season these aspen turn bright orange and golden yellow! There is actually an area within the East Mountain named "Firecraker Canyon" due to the one week out of the year that mother natures puts on an amazing show of colors! At times you could swear that you are looking at a painting. If this area were to be filmed (and I am sure it as) it would be easy to believe that special effects were involved.


Locating East mountain homes for sale in Albuquerque can be a challenge but that is a good thing! When people decide to move to this side of the mountain there main objective is to get away and get secluded. The different areas within the mountain include Paako, Sandia Park, Tijeras and Edgewood. If you continue to travel East you will find yourself in the town of Moriarty.

There are several local places to eat and drink within these separate communities. The people you will find here are friendly and very proud to live on the "east side". The different style of homes found vary from (but not limited to) Pueblo, Northern New Mexican and, of course, Log Cabin.

Nob Hill Albuquerque Homes

I love showing Nob Hill homes for sale! It is one of my favorite places in Albuquerque. The homes are great to see mainly because the people of Nob Hill have done so great things to the homes without ruining the "feel" for these older casa's. It is not uncommon to see homes that have updated kitchens, bathrooms and HAVAC systems all without losing the charm of the home. If you're lucky, you may even find a basement, which is pretty rare in ABQ! And many of the front and backyards are amazing with all the lush and mature foliage that comes with an area this seasoned.



Now, the best part of this area, in my opinion is Nob Hill on central. There are several little, quaint, one of a kind shops. From fine jewelry to tattoo and piercing shops, this area has it all ad is very colorful! And the eating and drinking is one of the top in Albuquerque. Whether you are in the mood for fresh, homemade breakfast pastries, wood oven pizza chased down with a handcrafted ale or maybe fish-n-chips with two fingers of high end highland scotch, Nob Hill has you covered!!

Single family homes can range from The $180k's to around $380k. Most homes in the Nob Hill area are flat roof, single story adobe style homes. The most recent home development here is "The Place in Nob Hill". These are newly completed condominiums that can go as high as $500k...

10 for Balloon Fiesta - The Albuquerque Real Estate Group

One of the most fun things about my job when selling Albuquerque homes for sale to out-of-town clients is sharing some of Albuquerque's traditions. One of our biggest is the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. I have complied what i think are the top ten reasons to take advantage of the extraordinary event -





Top 10 reasons to attend the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.



10. Largest hot air balloon festival in the world. Over 600 balloons representing 20 countries. Begins Oct. 1 and ends Oct. 9.

9. This is the 40th Balloon Fiesta held in Albuquerque. This tradition started in 1972 with 13 balloons.

8. Mass Ascension. This begins at 7:00 am although you need to be there much earlier. You can take advantage of the "Park and Rides" which are located all over the city and a bus will drop you off at the site.

7. It is said to be the most photographed event every year. Pictures do not do it justice. However, there are photo contests held every year in several different categories. This year Nikon is giving away special prize packages.

6. Family friendly atmosphere. Bring your lawn chairs, blankets and kids. Outside food is permitted.

5. Balloon rides. Rainbow Ryders offers a unique experience of flight like you have never felt before. All seats are first class!

4. The Balloon Glow. At night the special shapes such as the dairy cow, wagon train, and Darth Vader are illuminated at the same time. Fabulous!!

3. Fireworks!! This happens after the Balloon Glow. Need I say more?

2. Green chile breakfast burritos. They make it easier to get up so early. There are plenty of other food vendors too. Try a huge turkey leg or a fried twinkie.

The Paseo del Norte Corridor - Albuquerque Real Estate

When you buy Albuquerque Real Estate along the Paseo Del Norte Corridor there is no reason to go very far. Just about everything you could possibly need is within walking distance or a very short drive. Whether you are hungry or need a haircut, you do not have to go far.

There are plenty of options when your tummy is rumbly. Dion's, Flying Star, Five Guys Burgers, and Jimmy John's are some of my favorites. I really enjoy meeting friends for happy hour at Jinja Bar and Bistro. Chili's is also an option if you need a cocktail or beer to wash down your meal.

Having both a Smiths and an Albertsons to chose from is nice. Of course no store compares to Trader Joes. If you already shop there, then you know what I mean. If you don't, then you are missing out!

Target, Lowes, and Bed Bath & Beyond are a few of the larger stores in the area. Not to mention specialty stores such as Lilly Barrack Jewelry and Strive which sells clothing and shoes. If you buy a gift a need to ship it, theres a UPS and a FedEx close by.

Need a manicure? Haircut? There are several salons in the area. Get a Great Clips trim or the full treatment at Mark Pardo.
Need a prescription filled fast? Walgreens has a drive thru. I personally enjoy the personal service Pharmica gives me. They compost some medications on site.

There are a dozen or so churches to chose from. The North Domingo Baca Multigeneration Center is a wonderful new addition to our community. Included is a library, computer cafe and fitness room. The huge park attached also has a section for dogs as well as a skateboarding and bike section. With even more additions such as a community pool in the future.

Let's face it, with the price of gas these days it's nice to have most everything you need close by. Did I mention we just got a gas station? It's great because shopping at Smiths earns you free gas here. It just keeps getting better!!
