Albuquerque is proud to be a part of old route 66 that brought people and business to this 6,000 foot high desert town, now a metropolis of over 500,000 people and still growing. We boast about our gorgeous sunsets, friendly people, wonderful climate that makes year round sports possible for everyone, scenic mountain vistas, and diverse cultures combining Native American and Hispanic heritages with an Old West spirit.

Originally settled by Spanish colonialists, they carved out a small town with a central community meeting place or "plaza", surrounded by small homes, farms, official buildings, military outpost, and church. As Albuquerque grew, this original town became "Old Town", a bustling tourist spot with restaurants and shops offering diversity in flavor, culture, and art that reflect our Native American and Hispanic cultures.

Our architecture has a rich heritage from classic mud brick adobes to the finest luxury homes. Enjoy impeccable mountain views or scenic views from the Rio Grande River. Mountain and bike trails abound, Sandia Peak Tramway, the Rio Grande Zoological Park, the Botanical Gardens and Aquarium, Petroglyph National Monument, Albuquerque Little Theater, Southwest Ballet, Popejoy Hall, and The New Mexico Symphony orchestra offer something for everyone.

Intel, Sandia Labs, Kirtland Air Force Base, University of New Mexico, General Mills, the aviation industry, Hewlett Packard, the film industry, city and state government, Albuquerque Public and private schools all offer employment opportunities.

Many respected magazines always list Albuquerque in the top 10 for places to live and for career opportunities.

Come and try us on for size! We think you'll like what you see and we hope someday you'll call it "Home!"
