Head up North 14 to Cedar Crest, San Antonito and Sandia Park. If you continue up North 14, also known as the Turquiose Trail, through Golden, Madrid and Cerrillos you will end up in Santa Fe. In the North 14 area you will find homes with backyards measured in acres, not feet, and breathtaking views. You can live in a development like Paako, San Piedro Estates, Vallecitos Estates, or Richland Estates or you can live in a home out by yourself without seeing the home of your nearest neighbor. You pick the lifestyle, you pick the price range, you pick the home.
Life is easy in the East Mountains.
You can live your life as you want, get involved with your neighbors or live off by yourself, the choice is yours. On North 14, you can find any of your basic everyday needs. There you'll find a country grocery store, hardware store. With the opening of a public golf course in Paako, you can even play a round of golf on their 36 hole course. I am very familiar with this area as I live in Sandia Park, yet I am within a 15 minute drive of Albuquerque.
