North Valley Neighborhoods

The North Valley is one of the more distinctively New Mexican parts of the city. The interesting juxtaposition of rural neighborhoods, open space, luxury homes, older affordable neighborhoods and newer, gated subdivisions is unique. Close to downtown and Old Town and positioned in the center of the city, it's also a very convenient area to live in.

Each of the three north valley areas is briefly described below. You'll find more information on each area when you click on the title of each area.
