City Overview
The first thing everyone notices about Albuquerque is the landscape. Crowned by the Sandia mountains and straddling the Rio Grande, Albuquerque is a metropolis on the set of a Western. Of course, there’s more to the Land of Enchantment than just good looks.
Business and Employment
Albuquerque has strong Tech and Defense sectors. Intel and Honeywell Defense and Space Systems operate here. Kirtland air force base provides employment to military personnel as well as civilians in the support infrastructure. In recent years, the city has become a miniature Hollywood. Hits such as The Avengers, Little Miss Sunshine, Brothers, and of course Breaking Bad were all shot in Albuquerque. In 2015, Albuquerque made MovieMaker magazine's "Top Ten Cities To Be A Movie Maker" list. Directors and crew are choosing long-term apartments for rent in Albuquerque due to the city's industry-friendly environment - not to mention that it's more family friendly than Hollywood. Other major employers include General Mills, The University of New Mexico and the Albuquerque public school system.
Climate
Albuquerque weather is amazing. Blue skies and sunshine 278 days a year. Winter is noticeable, but mild, with only a few days of snow. The summers are hot, but not humid.
Cuisine
Albuquerque cuisine is among America’s finest. Chili, Menudo, and posole are local favorites. If you’re feeling adventurous, try “Christmas” – a mix of red and green Chili. For a treat, bite down on some biscochitos cookies (great with cinnamon-dusted coffee). There’s also great dining along Route 66. Stop by the 66 Diner for shakes and burger, with nostalgia on the side. Then, burn off the calories with a trip to the mountains or the forest. Albuquerque cuisine will make sure you always have fuel for adventure.
Demographics
Albuquerque is an isolated desert town, the nearest big city is in 4-hour drive. The city has rich and vibrant Hispanic community. Around 40 % of the city's population is bilingual, fluently speaking both English and Spanish.
Entertainment
There’s tons of family fun to be had in Albuquerque, like the Tingley Coliseum (think “Monster Trucks!”). If you’re in the mood for a movie, check out the KiMo theater, screening classics, and new releases. And don’t forget to visit the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta – the largest hot air balloon festival in the world! Every October, hundreds of balloons take over Albuquerque’s skies. You can even ride one – if you’re brave enough.

Landmarks

Outdoors
The Rio Grande River offers great kayaking rafting, and even a chance to see bald eagles in the wild. The Sandia Mountains are great for hiking and the views are stunning. When you choose an apartment for rent in Sandia heights, you’ll only be minutes away from these beautiful mountains. The Chihuahuan Desert is host to all sorts of New Mexico wildlife.
Transportation
Albuquerque is a commuter’s dream. Traffic is virtually unheard of, barring the occasional festival or event. Weather can be an issue. Because there is so little rain, Albuquerque drivers can lose their cool driving through it, and snow can be a problem for 2WD vehicles. Albuquerque is a bike friendly city, and the sport has really taken off in recent years. The Bicycle Boulevard on Silver Avenue is specially designated for bike traffic, and the Paseo del Bosque offers sixteen miles of paved biking bliss. Luckily for bikers, there are plenty of great apartments for rent here. There are pedestrian friendly areas as well, near Central Avenue. Public transportation is another option. ABQ ride, Albuquerque’s city bus system, runs several routes throughout the city, including the Rapid Ride express line.
