Downtown Albuquerque - Homes, Real Estate, & Revitalization

    Downtown Albuquerque encompasses the social, cultural, and economic center of the Albuquerque Metro area, with its vibrant mix of retail shops, housing, offices, hotels, grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment.  Since 1998, Downtown Albuquerque has been launched into a pulsating, strategic revitalization movement, with community leaders and planners tackling a multifaceted approach focusing on issues ranging from transportation, housing, parking, retail, entertainment, and office/business development.

You can encounter first-class dining, live-music, cafes, boutiques, entertainment venues, hotels, and professional offices all within walking distance.  Albuquerque's Central Arts District is located here, home to diverse galleries, studios, and arts organizations.  The many attractions and places of entertainment in Downtown Albuquerque include the historic KiMo Theater, Albuquerque's Kiva Auditorium, Little Theater Playhouse, South Broadway Cultural Center, National Hispanic Cultural Center, Albuquerque Rio Grande Zoo, Albuquerque Aquarium, Rio Grande Botanic Garden, Tingley Beach, Albuquerque's Historic Old Town, The Albuquerque Museum, Explora Children's Museum, and Natural History Museum.          

Now you can live and work in the center of New Mexico's largest business center in the state, in walking distance to major corporate headquarters, government agencies, top law firms, first class hotels, and large financial institutions.  Since 2000, over 40 new businesses have been established in Downtown Albuquerque.  On top of this, you can also live in the heart of Albuquerque's social and cultural scene.      

Neighborhoods and communities which make up Albuquerque Downtown include Albuquerque's historic Old Town, Sawmill District, West Park neighborhood, Albuquerque Country Club, Huning Castle, Downtown, East Downtown (EDO), Martineztown, and Huning.  These Downtown Albuquerque residential districts are undergoing an exciting and successful revitalization movement.  Home renovations abound in these neighborhoods, with styles ranging from Victorian to Southwestern to Modern Contemporary.  These communities merge some of the hippest, trendiest movements with the most historic places, synchronizing past, present, and future aesthetics.
 
For example, the Country Club or Huning Castle area is known for its large lots and mature, lush landscapes, as this area was once a farm development.  Many local residents and those working Downtown enjoy long walks, protected by the shade of the many old trees which line the landscaped medians and wide streets.  East Downtown, otherwise known as EDo, is undergoing an exciting revitalization process, as many homeowners and investors are renovating early 1900s Victorian-style homes while the City of Albuquerque is beautifying the urban landscape, creating pedestrian-friendly streets.  A similar revitalization movement has made its way into Albuquerque's Old Town and Sawmill districts, with the renovation of early 20th century adobe homes alongside new construction of affordable housing, which includes the Sawmill Lofts, a live-work space designed for artists.    
 
Albuquerque's Downtown revitalization has also spurred a new Urban Experience, with the development of a number of live-work-play spaces, property zoned for residential and commercial, such as the Silver Lofts and Lofts at Albuquerque High
 
The average price per square foot of a home in Downtown Albuquerque was $179 dollars in May 2006, whereby the average closed sale price between January-March 2006 was $142,596.  During early May 2006 active homes for sale in Albuquerque's Downtown area ranged greatly, between $39,900 dollars, all the way up to $749,000 dollars.
