Albuquerque, the return visit
Writing by Rich on April 20, 2007
We made a return trip to Albuquerque for a couple of days before heading north to Colorado, giving us a chance to explore a little more, check out some neighborhoods, learn about traffic patterns, etc.
A few interesting things we learned about real estate:
- We have a real aversion to the west side. A rush hour, gridlocked drive into Rio Rancho, a soul-less place with no discernable downtown, cured us of any interest in that area. They are considering building a dowwntown, which we’ve seen pulled off somewhat sucessfully in Windsor, California, though Windsor is significantly smaller than Rio Rancho. And even if they build a downtown, traffic will still be an issue.
- Albuquerque has a commuter light rail service.
- We found a great website with lots of advice from folks about the best places to live in Albuquerque.
We also found a wonderful international grocery story, the Talin Market, which uses the tagline World Food Fare — rightfully so, I might add. It was enough to bump Albuquerque into strong contention with Silver City for our best place to live.
Next stop, Colorado.
