Ladera Heights Homes For Sale
Ladera Heights is a neighborhood you may want to explore if you are looking for quick and easy access to any part of Albuquerque. Kirtland Air force 
personnel and Sandia Lab employees who are savvy real estate shoppers ask me to look for homes for them in the Ladera Heights section of town, anticipating prices comparatively lower than those close to their offices but only an easy 10 - 20 minutes commute to work by way of I-40 from Coors or Unser Boulevard.
The intersection at I-40 and Coors, one of the two major north south arteries, Unser being the second, is almost squarely at the center of the Ladera community. Ladera Heights is tucked in against the Petroglyph National Monument on the northern border; Coors is on the eastern boundary; and the Southwest Multiple Listing places the westernmost boundary just west of Paseo del Volcan. The southern border is just south of Arenal.
Ladera Heights is a community that is mixed with older (built in the 70's) and newer homes developments. The recent favorable real estate market that, in Albuquerque, lasted through the third quarter of 2007 gave rise to a rapid increase in new home construction and boosted the population in the area. Similarly, commercial ventures have escalated along the Coors corridor with many new openings as many Eastside business owners recognize opportunities for expansion on the Westside. The recently completed I-40 interchange at Coors Boulevard opened up a major artery to the west and vastly improved the Commute time acrosscommute time across the Rio Grande.
Living in Ladera Heights means quick access to nearby trails to the bosque and the Petroglyph National Monument; to golfing at the Ladera Golf Course; to the Open Space Visitor's Center, the Unser Racing Museum on Montano; restaurants, physical fitness clubs, Ladera Heights Little League and an ever increasing number of other businesses and services in the area.
Considering moving to Albuquerque? Consider Ladera Heights for convenience and well-priced homes and great amenities. When you are packing for your move, forget the snow shovel and bring your bike and walking shoes.
