5 Benefits to Living in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights

There are many benefits to living in the Northeast Heights, but here are our top 5.

1. The Northeast Heights is central to the whole city.

Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights is placed north of I-40 and east of I-25, making the entire city accessible. Not only is the Northeast Heights just west of the Sandia Mountains, but it is also nearby city attractions, including Balloon Fiesta Park, ABQ Uptown, Winrock Town Center and more. Because the Northeast Heights is on the north end of Albuquerque, travel to Bernalillo and Santa Fe is convenient, quick, and easy.

2. Homes in the Northeast Heights retain their value.

Homes in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights have high value initially and retain that value over time. Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights are landlocked because of the Sandia Mountains and Sandia Pueblo, meaning there is limited inventory of homes for sale. The demand for homes in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights, due to school districts, accessibility, and recreation, combined with the limited availability, makes properties extremely valuable. This value increases over time, and families are able to retain value during an economic downturn.

Although space in the Northeast Heights is limited, Stillbrooke Homes is currently developing four new communities within Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights, including Sevano, Luna Vita, Horizon Village and Estates at Santa Monica Phase II.

3. The Northeast Heights is an incredible school district.

The Northeast Heights is home to some of the best school districts in the state, including La Cueva High School, Eldorado High School, Sandia High School, and elementary and middle schools that feed into them like Desert Ridge,  Dennis Chavez, and EG Ross. Because of this, the Northeast Heights is a very close knit community with many involved families. These school districts also open up many opportunities for children to get involved in athletics and other extracurricular activities.

Stillbrooke Homes’ newest development, Luna Vita – is in the coveted North Star Elementary and La Cueva High School district ensuring students in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights receive high-quality education from elementary through high school. Sevano, Stillbrooke’s newest gated community, will also be in the La Cueva High School district. The Northeast Heights is also home to award winning private schools like Hope Christian and Albuquerque Academy, both only a short drive away.

For newer families, the Northeast Heights also has many high-quality childcare programs. Noah’s Ark Children’s Academy and Covenant Schools are two excellent childcare providers within the Northeast Heights. Noah’s Ark Children’s Academy has three locations within Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights. Covenant Schools has one location off of Wyoming.

4. There are many opportunities for fun in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights.

Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights is the best community for fun with family and friends. Because of the Northeast Heights’ proximity to the Sandia Mountains, there are endless opportunities for outdoor adventure, including trails and parks. There are also several movie theaters, escape rooms, trampoline parks, and entertainment centers, all perfect for weekend fun. The Northeast Heights is also a premier destination for shopping and dining, with quick access to shopping malls and some of the city’s best dining options.

5. The Northeast Heights is a developing community.

Although the community is established, it is constantly evolving and developing. Tin Can Alley is a new project that will include a new Stone Age Climbing Gym and several new restaurants. Another new development in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights is Topgolf, an entertainment center with golfing, dining, drinks, and music.

Stillbrooke is developing four communities within Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights. These communities will include move-in ready “Homes in a Hurry” and open lots for customized homes using Stillbrooke’s Signature Series. Stillbrooke’s Signature Series allows home builders to customize exterior details, including garages, front doors, and architectural accents as well as interior details, like tile entries and arches, kitchen and bathroom details, and energy saving and security features.

Stillbrooke’s Estates at Santa Monica features Signature Series homes for buyers looking to build. These lots are perfect for new home buyers looking for a house that’s a perfect fit not just for their needs, but for their wants too. Santa Monica periodically has “Homes in a Hurry” for move-in ready buyers.

Stillbrooke’s Luna Vita is a newly-developed 10-home community off Louisiana and Wilshire, down the street from La Cueva High School. These lots are customizable using Stillbrooke’s Signature Series and are in a highly-desired location, in one of the best school districts in the city. Luna Vita features six different floor plans and 12 different modification options. Sales began in November 2019. 

Stillbrooke’s Horizon Village is coming soon to Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights. Horizon Village will feature 2-4 bedroom townhomes, located not too far from Balloon Fiesta Park, still in La Cueva school district, and on a nice tree-lined private street. These homes will include a transitional design and range from 1,700 to 2,000 square feet with a 2-car garage. Horizon Village allows families to move into a desired community without the traditional prices of the Northeast Heights. Starting in the low $300’s and backed by Stillbrooke’s insured 10-year warranty

Stillbrooke’s Sevano is a long-anticipated and prestigious 41-home gated community scheduled to begin soon in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights. Sevano will be located at the corner of Louisiana and Alameda in the La Cueva High School district. This community will include a private green space for residents and Stillbrooke’s Signature Series homes with up to 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a 2-car garage.
