I recently listed and SOLD a home in NW Albuquerque's Las Marcadas neighborhood. Las Marcadas is a small neighborhood tucked away near the north end of Petroglyph National Monument.
The homes in the neighborhood were built by a variety of home builders including early RayLee homes by Scott Grady, US Homes, Home by Kim Brooks and Opel Jenkins, perhaps NW Albuquerque's best home builder of the era.
I often tell home buyers I meet that the area from Calle Nortena to the south and Paradise Hills Blvd to the north along Golf Course Blvd is the Sweet Spot of NW Albuquerque real estate.
Las Marcadas Subdivision
Las Marcadas subdivision is right in the middle of that area along with other great neighborhoods like Richland Hills, Rancho Sereno and Riverview Estates.
Homes in this area of NW Albuquerque were built in the early to late 1990's when Intel was hiring engineers for their plant in Rio Rancho. Of course Intel is moving out of the area, and it's always a bad thing to lose great paying jobs like that, but the area continues to thrive today because of the quality of homes in the area.
The location of Las Marcadas is great too, just off Paseo del Norte to get across the river and just a quick minute to Coors Blvd to get down to Interstate 40.
There's shopping within walking distance too at Smith's Grocery Store, Neighborhood Wal Mart, Walgreens, Starbucks, Sonic, Sushi Xuan, Ace Hardware and more.
Oh, and there's one more great reason to love Las Marcadas subdivision; there is no homeowners association and there's no PID (Public Inprovement District) either! That means you get more house for your money!
