Paradise Hills

Paradise Hills Homes For sale

Paradise Hills is a great Westside Albuquerque community in which to settle? Not quite Albuquerque, not quite Rio Rancho. Paradise Hills offers a delightful mixture of vintage homes (built about 40 years ago) with mature gardens, and larger lots in the County of Bernalillo. It is a community that was developed around a golf course; and apart from Executive Estates on the south side of Paradise Hills Boulevard, was for the better part of the last forty years, an almost isolated Albuquerque community. Now, new communities extend in every direction around the golf course to fill out the original boundaries from the AMAFCA Las Ventanas Dam to the Calabacillas Arroyo, Paseo del Norte, and Coors Boulevard. It is a community that is aging like fine wine while always renewing itself.

The golf course, in its latest reincarnation as Desert Greens, continues to provide recreation and an oasis of green open space. Other attractions, apart from a variety of comfortable homes (older and newer) include expanding shopping, recreational resources (Paradise Hills Little League) and great restaurants. The Cottonwood Mall one of Albuquerque's upscale malls is on the edge of Paradise Hills. Apart from its own shops and restaurants, and movie theatres, the mall serves as a hub for a widening circle of restaurants and other businesses.

Paradise Hills borders the Petroglyph National Monument with accessible trails to explore paths and the mystery of the glyphs carved on ancient rocks. Paradise Hills is also an area the offers magnificent views of Northeast Albuquerque, the Sandia, Manzano, and even the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez Mountains as well as the sleeping sisters (extinct volcanic cones) on the edge of the western high mesa. Depending on where your home is located in Paradise Hills, you may even have the equivalent of a ringside seat for the International Balloon Fiesta each year.
