Thank you, and safe travels.

20 years ago we chose this neighborhood for its peace and quiet, but more importantly, the stunning landscape views and abundant wildlife. There's no dangerous wildlife, just plenty of squirrels, quails, hawks, turkey vultures, and coyotes. Plus the area is very close to restaurants and shopping , but still feels urban.

Every morning we step out our back door and see the Sandia mountains and vast distances of the non-active volcanos along with hot air balloons skipping along the sunrise horizon as thought putting on a performance just for us. Truly inspiring.
