About Sandia Heights

Sandia Heights represents the absolute pinnacle of high-desert luxury living in the Albuquerque area. Tucked directly against the western slopes of the magnificent Sandia Mountains, this exclusive, unincorporated community is designed to harmonize completely with its dramatic natural surroundings. Sandia Heights is renowned for its steep, winding roads, massive boulders, native pinon and juniper pines, and an overriding commitment to preserving the natural environment.

Real estate in Sandia Heights is characterized by stunning, architecturally significant custom homes that maximize the incredible setting. Properties here often feature expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, multi-level decks, and luxurious outdoor living spaces that offer 100-mile views of the city lights to the west, and intimate, imposing views of the mountain granite to the east. Homes are situated on large, natural lots, ensuring maximum privacy and a constant connection to the abundant local wildlife, including deer, bobcats, and various bird species.

Living in Sandia Heights is a nature lover's dream. Residents have direct, private access to the Sandia Mountain Wilderness area, offering world-class hiking, mountain biking, and exploring right outside their back doors. Furthermore, the community is located just minutes away from the Sandia Peak Tramway, a major local attraction. Despite its secluded feel, Sandia Heights is surprisingly convenient, located just a short drive from the shopping, dining, and cultural amenities of the Northeast Heights.
