I have the opportunity to move to a house off of Washington between Lomas and Central. Can anyone provide information on what this area is like? I have heard a lot about Nob Hill. Is this considered Nob Hill? How much to the houses cost in this area? Any insight is appreciated.

I'm not sure if north of Central is considered Nob Hill. It might be Highland Heights. Regardless, it is very convenient to Nob Hill. The houses in this area are mostly around 50 - 70 years old with Pueblo and related architectural styles. Very similar in character to Nob Hill proper. There are some '50s style houses peppered in here and there as well.

Anywhere East of Tramway is also East of San Mateo.
That statement lops off pretty much half of the NE Heights including the 87122 zip code which is about the 2nd most expensive zip code in New Mexico.
Nob Hill is an area that for whatever reason my wife and I wrote off. The more I think about the proximity to UNM and to downtown ABQ (probably where I'll work) perhaps it's worth a look. I thought some of you said it was pricey. Ok, so here is what I need. I need parameters to stay in that has affordable neighborhoods (affordable as in $200k or less) and not sketchy in terms of crime. If you could give me 4 streets that make up a quadrant to try to stay in I'd appreciate it.
If you bothered to read anything I've posted in this forum, you wouldn't have asked that question.
Since you haven't (read), you did (question). Now, you've made me cross.

I also quote here -- from YOU:
"In my opinion anywhere east of San Mateo is still kind of sketchy...."
If you bothered to check the map, the zip code I mentioned is clearly EAST of San Mateo.
You are the one who brought it up, not me.
Hint: East is ANYTHING that is not WEST of something.
Hint: East is the opposite of West.
You said: "east of San Mateo is still kind of sketchy"
That means anything around Eubank "is still kind of sketchy"
Hint: Eubank is East of San Mateo.
There are lots of fine and comfortable neighborhoods between San Mateo and San Pedro North
of Centeral and continuing all the way up to where San Mateo bends West to become Osuna.
Hint: When you are looking East (ie. "east of San Mateo") North is to your left.
Do you even know Albuquerque?
