Headed to ABQ for the Balloon Fiesta? This is your property! Why?

Property Located Directly in the Balloon Corridor:
Because of the unique local wind patterns known as the "Albuquerque Box," hot air balloons frequently drift straight south down the Rio Grande valley. If you stay here, you can step out onto your patio at dawn with a cup of coffee and watch dozens of balloons fly directly over the cottonwood trees before you even leave for the park.

The Rural Oasis Vibe:
Unlike the busy commercial areas, this area features tree lined streets, historic adobe homes, quiet lanes, lavender fields & the peaceful Los Poblanos & Rio Grande Bosque trails.

The Backroads Traffic Advantage:
Because you are already situated northwest of the main city center, you can use local back roads (like Rio Grande Boulevard or Chavez Road) to approach Balloon Fiesta Park. This allows you to completely bypass the brutal bumper-to-bumper gridlock on Interstate 25.
