Albuquerque residents enjoy a unique quality of life and developing business environment. Nestled between the brilliant Sandia Mountains and the Rio Grande Valley, Albuquerque is rich with culture and heritage and offers breathtaking landscapes.
The University of New Mexico (UNM) and Kirtland Air Force Base as well as Sandia National Laboratories and Petroglyph National Monument all call Albuquerque home. The Sandia Mountains run along the eastern side of Albuquerque and the Rio Grande flows through the city north to south.
Albuquerque offers a brilliant nighttime cityscape. Many building exterior's are illuminated in vibrant colors. The Well's Fargo Building is illuminated green. The Double Tree Hotel and the Compass Bank building are illuminated blue. The rotunda of the county courthous is illuminated yellow, while the tops of the Bank of Albuquerque and the Bank of the West are illuminated reddish-yellow.
Albuquerque is geographically divided into four quadrants which are officially part of the mailing address.
Northeast Quadrant
This quadrant has been experiencing a housing expansion since the late 1950s. It abuts the base of the Sandia Mountains and contains portions of the Sandia Heights neighborhoods, which are situated in or near the foothills and are significantly higher, in elevation and price range, than the rest of the city.
Northwest Quadrant This quadrant contains historic Old Town Albuquerque, which dates back to the 1700s, as well as the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. The area has a mixture of commercial and some of the most expensive homes in the city.
Southeast Quadrant The Nob Hill and East Downtown (EDo) neighborhoods lie along Central Avenue, the border between the Southeast and Northeast quadrants.
Southwest Quadrant Traditionally consisting of agricultural and rural areas, the Southwest quadrant is often referred to as the "South Valley". Although the city limits of Albuquerque do not include all of the area, the South Valley is considered to extend all the way to the Isleta Indian Reservation.
