Map & Owner's Profile
Sandia Heights -- Unobstructed View of Tram and Mountains
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Albuquerque
When this very unique property came up for sale, we jumped on opportunity. It is an end-unit, surrounded by natural and mature landscaping on 3 sides. Purchased from original owners who maintained and updated property well. We have enjoyed customizing it with original and hand-made Southwest furniture and artwork.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Sandia Heights epitomizes all the benefits of living in New Mexico. High altitude with pure air, stargazing, city views and mountain views, High Desert natural landscaping (everygreens and cacti). And extraodinary views of Sandia Mountain and The Tram from the large picture window inside. And panoramic views outside from the cozy, but unobstructed courtyard, that extends into extensive "open space" and park areas.
Owner's Map of Albuquerque
We live in a larger, multi-level home in Sandia Heights North. It is like coming home to a "Resort" every night. We love this area so much, that we wanted to secure property for the future---a one-level, smaller and cozier home; but still wanted the great views.
