We loved the house, backyard, and the neighborhood location. The house has character, but has also been updated and provides modern amenities like an updated kitchen and a great outdoor patio with a fireplace and pergola. The gated parking in the back is nice for peace of mind, but I should note the neighborhood is very clean and safe. ABQ is really a driving city, but even so many areas like Old Town or the University are very close by. Even a winding drive up to watch the sunset from the top of the Sandias is only 40 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again.
