Current Resident: I love it! Wonderful community with wonderful food, events, local music and more. Crime rates in the area are a little concerningly high, but that's pretty across all of Albuquerque, not just exclusive to Nob Hill. Cost of living in houses is much cheaper and more realistic than the many condos and luxury studios in the area.... Read 8 reviews

Current Resident: I love the historic feel of the area. The Old Town Plaza is charming, as well as most of the surrounding neighborhood. The small businesses in and around Old Town make it what it is. Explora and the other museums are wonderful for families, as well as the Biopark. I particularly love being so close to the river. However, being so close to downtown, the foot traffic does not always leave one feeling safe. If I ever forget to lock my car, someone goes through it and things can come up missing, despite how safe my apartments typically seem.... Read 1 review

Current Resident: We've lived in a lot of places and Rio Rancho has been our favorite. We've had great experiences with the school (our kids go to MLK). We've noticed that the police have a presence here in the community which makes it feel much safer than ABQ. Our neighbors are very friendly and welcoming, as well as the community at school. Our kids have been involved in sports and music since we've moved here and they love everything about it. We have tons of parks in a two mile radius, including a dog park. That's another thing, everyone seems to have a dog! I love that. We've also taken advantage of the aquatic center and the library. Those are some great amenities. There seems to be a ton of community pools all over the city. There has been a lot of roadwork and beautification projects. I really believe that they have the resident's best interest at heart....

Current Resident: I was born and raised in Albuquerque and as most people here I am very proud to call myself a Burqueña. The older that I get and the more that I become engaged in my community through rock-climbing or beekeeping the more I notice the profound beauty of everything here. We have everything I need here, just enough sun a month of rain, a river, mountains, desert and forest. It seems that we have everything. However, somethings I can't help but notice. We have a severe issue with homelessness, and it seems like no one is doing anything to help. This will require systematic change and continued support to Albuquerque residents and I hope that if I can't do something to change it that soon someone can.... Read 945 reviews

Some weakness's of Bosque farms are, police officers need to monitor hwy 47 and more often, the library needs to be more accessible to everyone not just for children, librarian needs to be replaced she is very unpleasant and lacks professional development, counselors need to listen to their constituents from the village.

Town in New Mexico
Current Resident: Edgewood is considered "the country" or "the other side of the mountain" to people who live in Albuquerque. It is a relatively small town. In 2016 there were almost 4000 people who lived there. You will almost never see all of these people at once. They typically stay to themselves. There are two grocery stores and a few places to eat. I would say that it is enough to get by. There are two real beauties to living in Edgewood. The first is the actual natural beauty all around. There are some trees, beautiful mountains, and awe inspiring sunsets. The second is its proximity to Albuquerque. You can live in a small town but be in a big city in 20-30 minutes. People may complain about that commute, but it is not a lot of traffic. Compared to living on the westside of Albuquerque and commuting into the heart of the city, the drive from Edgewood is a piece of cake.... Read 28 reviews

Former Resident: I served a Mormon mission in Los Lunas. After completing my missionary work, I went back to Los Lunas and went to school to what is known now as the Central New Mexico Community College (T-V I). I really liked the feel of it being a small town that is close enough to the city if you want to go there because you miss the city atmosphere.

It is between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, without the crime of the first or the snobbery of the second. Warm and welcoming neighbors. Extremely good value in housing. Gorgeous views. It is important that it is just off a major artery so getting anywhere is easy. In these times, also notable that the road into town is not on the way to somewhere else, so no traffic.

We have 3 children at the school who are very different learners, different personalities and different interests. Yet each is thriving at Bullis and the teachers meet each of their needs. We love that school is joyful and fun. Our kids WANT to go to school and have fun learning. They get a great balance of academics, arts, athletics, STEM, etc. It is a nice community of parents and friends who watch out for each other and help each other. And there is a strong value to diversity in race, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, style of learning, etc. It is a very special place!... Read 131 reviews
