context_page_description: Downtown Albuquerque is the central business district of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is where a significant number of the city's highrise buildings are located, and is the center of government and business for the Greater Albuquerque metropolitan region.
  Downtown is roughly defined as the central area bordered by Marble Avenue to the North, Coal Avenue to the South, Sixth Street to the East, and the Amtrak and New Mexico Rail Runner Express railroad tracks to the West. The area on the east side of the railroad tracks is known as East Downtown or EDo. The downtown area can be easily accessed by several freeway exits from Interstate 25.
context_section_description: The southernmost part of downtown, the Casa District includes the area between Gold and Coal Avenue, extending all the way west to Tenth Street. This is a primarily residential district, with a large number of loft apartment buildings. Alvarado Square, the location of the PNM Building and the headquarters of Bernalillo County, is also located in the Casa District.
