My young and energetic family will be moving to Albuquerque in September and we are looking for an artsy family friendly neighborhood with people who are likely to share our views. Well, they don't have to share them, but any area where people are tolerant and somewhat progressive should work.
A little background on us- We're a 20-ish/early 30s African American family with a 2 year old. My hubby is an artist/entreprenuer and I work in international health. I'll be doing some short term work with the New Mexico Department of Health and we'd like to find out where the clean hippies,film critics,wine drinking, family oriented young folks live and hang out. We love outdoors and nature but we'd like a small piece of city life if possible in NM.
I'll be working around this area and am open to a 20-25 minute commute...
Awesome thanks...I've looked on the alibi- the alternative liberal magazine and it seems like we'll be able to find something that will create an artsy vibe without living in Taos or SF...
Ridgecrest is a beautiful area (grew up there). I haven't been around there in a while but I remember the demographics being more older people. Maybe it's changed. The schools are not great, so plan on home schooling or private/charter schools.
You can search various neighborhoods/zip codes here (by clicking on the names of various neighborhoods) and check out the demographics, crime, etc...
I don't know...ABQ is in the desert...lots of dust in the air...lots of only partially-clean hippies!!
An occasional bit of dust is fine
It looks like we'll be looking at Ridgecrest and nob hill..
How is Albuquerque in terms of up and coming neighborhoods? Any other places that we should look at?
