The Land of Enchantment

Welcome to Albuquerque, New Mexico!

Ventured here 4 years ago, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Since then the landscape has changed immensely. With the lion-share of baby boomers retiring in 2010, Albuquerque is no longer the 'sleeper' state. People are moving out here in droves. It's a sea of roof-tops in Phoenix, Arizona, so New Mexico and specifically, Albuquerque has become the last frontier.

The West Mesa (west of the Rio Grande River) has expanded 10 fold in the last 4 years alone. Although the real estate market put on the skids this last fall, homes are still selling. Builders are feeling the crunch, but it can't be that bad, as new neighborhoods are still springing up over-night.

Now would be the perfect time to purchase that retirement nest or transfer here to grab something up while the prices are right. If you're planning a vacation soon, come to Albuquerque and experience the sky Georgia O'Keeffe discovered, witness the awe-inspiring sunsets for yourself, and become entranced at the mountains spread before you.
