Albuquerque, New Mexico
Known as the capital of New Mexico and one of the towns located along the famous Route 66, Albuquerque is much more than that. It's one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., offers a fabulous lifestyle and is one of the most vibrant cities in the Southwest.Named after a Moorish village in Spain, this city was originally settled as an outpost. It was built in a traditional Spanish village fashion with a central plaza.
Luckily, as the town began to expand, the old section was completely protected and remains today much as it was in its beginning. It is one of the entertainment and cultural focal points in the city.
Early a railroad town and then an important stop on Route 66, Albuquerque is much more than a transportation hub. Its climate made ita center for people recovering from tuberculosis and hospitals and sanitaria were built. Kirtland Air Force Base and Sandia National Laboratory enticed technology and military oriented companies during the 50s. These entities are still important but have been joined by numerous privately held technology companies.
Look to the Sky
Aside from some of the most pleasant scenery in any large city, the lifestyle found here is vibrant and colorful. Start learning about the city by taking a ride on the Sandia Peak Tramway. The 15 minute ride is incredible for its views overlooking the city. The Sandia Mountains off every type of outdoor activity during both winter and summer months. Skiing and snowboarding are extremely popular as winter sports.
There are plenty of cultural indoor activities too. There are a number of venues for the performing arts and museums for the visual arts. The most exciting event of the year is certainly the International Balloon Fiesta. Beginning the first Saturday in October the skies of the city fill will hot air balloons from all over the world. You'll probably be able to see a number of them from your Albuquerque apartment.
Commute by Bike
Albuquerque is spread out over a huge area so consider your commute time or proximity to school or leisure activities. University Heights and the Nob Hill areas are close to the University of New Mexico and are great areas for commuting by bike.
Downtown has some residential areas and is exciting these days. You'll find a number of new complexes east of the downtown area. So, the search for your Albuquerque apartment is full of good choices.
Red or Green?
One of the first things you'll learn about eating out in this city is how to answer the question Ôred or green?'. What that means is which kind of chili based sauce you'd like on your food. Not only the color matters for flavor but also denotes how hot it is.
New Mexican cuisine is excellent and you'll quickly learn which restaurants serve milder or hotter sauce. Try Los Cuates for milder and Perea's if you like it hot. The Rancher's Club is perhaps the best steak in town but if you don't want to spend so much, try the Flying Star Cafe which always ranks as having the best baked goods in town. Try the mom and pop places near your Albuquerque apartment too. You'll find some really good ones.
Going Goth
At night, you can go Goth or Hip Hop sometimes in the same club. Check out Lotus as they do something different every night. Near the university are some great dive type bars where the patrons are friendly and you can find music on weekends. On the north side, go to Stone Face Tavern for friendly people, good beer and even outdoor volley ball.Average Apartment Rent in Albuquerque, New Mexico
