About the host
Your host
I'm an Albuquerque native and Planetary Scientist with a passion for exploring worlds both far away and right here at home. When I'm not studying the cosmos, you’ll likely find me cycling or running through the Bosque trails or the foothills of the Sandia Mountains—two of my favorite places to recharge and reconnect with nature.
Why they chose this property
I’ve always loved Albuquerque for its unique blend of culture, history, and natural beauty—it’s a place where the sky feels bigger, the sunsets more vibrant, and the community deeply rooted. The Barelas neighborhood, in particular, captured my heart with its rich heritage, walkable streets, and strong sense of identity. There's something special about being close to the Rio Grande, just minutes from downtown, yet still feeling a connection to the past and future of the city. Buying a home here felt like coming full circle—a chance to invest not just in property, but in a place that truly feels like home.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property truly special is its rare blend of historic charm and modern sustainability. Nearly 100 years old and beautifully remodeled, the home retains its original character while offering top-tier energy efficiency—with solar panels, a metal roof, a heat pump HVAC system, and a heat pump water heater. Inside and out, it's designed for low-impact, comfortable living.
Location is everything, and this home couldn’t be better situated—just one block from the Rio Grande and Bosque trails for walking, running, or cycling, and two blocks from the Albuquerque Zoo. It’s within walking distance to downtown’s vibrant nightlife and dining scene, and only minutes from UNM, two major freeways, and the international airport. Whether you’re drawn to the lifestyle, the location, or the efficiency, this property is truly one of a kind in the heart of Albuquerque.
