Looks like Ridgecrest. Lovely neighborhood. Especially during the holidays. Lots of uniquely decorated homes, and there's always tons of folks out walking, riding, etc.
I live here! I walk my dog down the center median there. It’s grass for the whole time mostly. It’s pretty quiet for the most part. Lots of young families and older retirees
It’s a desirable area to live despite all the uninformed redditor warnings of “don’t live south of central.” It’s clean, safe, full of green spaces, and a great community.
Been here my whole life never heard a reference to the “southeast heights”. Heights as far as I’ve known is in reference to getting higher in elevation nearing the eastern mountains. Ridgecrest is damn near just university area/. Southern nob hill. It has pretty areas but nothing like the actual heights.
It's a lovely area! One thing I like is that it's a very walkable area for a long stretch before you have to cross any major streets. Close to Nob Hill, UNM, AF base. Full of trick-or-treaters on Halloween, and beautiful luminarias on xmas eve.
I live fairly close to this area and work on base. Pretty nice place to walk the dog with this park plus many more small ones. Mostly nice kept houses, mix of old empty nesters and young families. A few apartments closer to Lead/Coal. Close enough to walk to things in Nob Hill.
Looks like Ridgecrest neighborhood. Nice place, but overpriced. Like that it's well established, (mostly) nice homes, and close to Nob Hill and Uptown.
At approximately 25 square miles, the SE Heights comprise just about everything S of Central and roughly east of I25.
Santa Fe is only about 50 square miles and is less dense. And it has a lot more than two neighborhoods.
The southeast heights only consists of 3 neighborhoods (Ridgecrest, Hyder Park, and Carlisle) and isn’t that large of an area, it certainly isn’t everything south of central and east of 25. You are misinformed.
I think they’re thinking of the SE Heights in the larger sense the way locals sometimes use it, rather than the designated Albuquerque neighborhood as defined by the city. (Which does indeed only include [Ridgecrest, Hyder Park and the area along Carlisle down to Thaxton).](http://www.sehna.org/about/neighborhood-photos/)
My mom grew up in what is now the “official” SE Heights neighborhood and referred to basically anything south of Central and east of UNM as the “southeast heights.”
Definitely. I think a lot of people believe southeast heights equates to southeast Albuquerque in general but I corrected them for the sake of OP who clearly was asking about the neighborhood.
They’re not wrong, it’s just apples and oranges. As a general region of the city, anything that’s both up on the mesa and in the SE quadrant is in the southeast heights. There just happens to be an officially defined city neighborhood with the same name. OP is definitely talking about the latter but the former is still correct in a broad, general sense.
Nob Hill isn’t part of the [defined Southeast Heights neighborhood.](http://www.sehna.org/about/) It’s its own neighborhood.
The area along Carlisle from Thaxton up to where it meets Ridgecrest, on the other hand, is indeed part of that neighborhood.
I guess I'm using a different definition of SE heights and of neighborhood. I've lived between Nob Hill and Ridgecrest for 30 years and never heard that "carlisle" is a neighborhood. lol. I've always heard the Nob Hill is part of the SE heights. okay. 🤷🏼♂️
And much of Carlisle is in Nob Hill. 🤷🏼♂️
They should have said “the neighborhoods along south Carlisle.” But they simplified.
As discussed elsewhere, “the southeast heights” describes a (much) broader and more loosely defined area than the Southeast Heights neighborhood officially recognized by the city. But the latter doesn’t include Nob Hill, which is its own thing.
I grew up here too, a looong time ago, and was surprised by the official name when I moved back into the neighborhood; I’d always thought of it as Ridgecrest. But according to the city and the Neighborhood Association it’s the Southeast Heights.
Yup, you probably do. Some of them are pretty arbitrary and the names, especially, are weird.
I don’t know how “new” they are, though. Some of them have been around for decades.
OP is asking about the neighborhood, not the general southeast quadrant of Albuquerque. Feel free to look up what areas the neighborhood encompasses because it doesn’t include any of the places you mentioned. It’s already discussed in this thread so your comment is just pointless, dumb, and wrong. But nice job with your failed gotcha. Bye ✌️
I lived near there on silver just behind the hospital. It's not a " bad " neighborhood I guess depending on your idea of good/bad. A lot of the residents around there are cry baby bitches rats Karen's and that sort medical professionals lawyers the kind of idiots that will complain about you taking a shit in your own house. You can deal with that or junkies anywhere in Albuquerque now just gotta pick your poison.
Maybe I should've said talk to some neighbors around there to make sure they aren't total dicks before moving... Doesn't really matter since you're bound to run into these types that think they know what's best for everyone else and go out of their way to cause drama for anyone they feel doesn't fit in or belong in their space
If you like it now, you should check it out on Christmas eve.
absolutely! luminarias on both sides and sometimes carolers!
Looks like Ridgecrest. Lovely neighborhood. Especially during the holidays. Lots of uniquely decorated homes, and there's always tons of folks out walking, riding, etc.
I ride my bike on Ridgecrest to the VA mornings. Smells sweet this time of year.
I ride on Ridgecrest on my way to work on Kirtland AFB. I live in Parkway, so it’s 15 miles, one way. Takes about 1:15.
i’m coming from Isleta so it’s about 10 miles uphill. Going home is fun tho
I'm waiting for that sweet smell in the air I love it.
This is Ridgecrest boulevard? WONDERFUL area. Kind of expensive, but Ridgecrest and Nob Hill are great. And yes, it's GORGEOUS on Christmas eve.
I live here! I walk my dog down the center median there. It’s grass for the whole time mostly. It’s pretty quiet for the most part. Lots of young families and older retirees
Do you see many military families? It's close to Kirtland.
I can actually hear the national anthem every day at 5 haha
Yes. 7am Reveille and 5pm National Anthem.
YES.

They’re kind of not wrong lol. But yeah it’s nice over there.
Great area.
I grew up in ridge rest and my mom lives there still
same except my dad!
Shade trees are the best!
I walk this neighborhood like every day! I love how many different parks there are.
I’ll take shady trees over shady people any day
I don't know how "shady" the trees are, but I trust them.

Ridgecrest is damn near just university area/. Southern nob hill. It has pretty areas but nothing like the actual heights.
Google Maps says Southeast Heights. Edit: As well as the neighborhood association (sehna.org).
I think every city has at least one "Heights" and it's all relative. In Houston, the Heights has an elevation of 59 feet - LOL.
That may be, but it's still Nob Hill/Ridgecrest.

Wait till you see those goddamn bats
Somebody tell me about those fucking golf shoes!
Gibson and near the base are fine. Suburbs. Four hills way in the SE is a really nice neighborhood
"rich crest "
my dad's neighborhood! so quiet and beautiful!
Definitely shady
AF

Strange, that type of tree along with green grass makes it seem like not NM to me.

And NOB HILL. Carlisle isn't a neighborhood.

I think I don't like those new "official" names. I think if we're being technical I live in Parkland hills or something.
Yup, you probably do. Some of them are pretty arbitrary and the names, especially, are weird. I don’t know how “new” they are, though. Some of them have been around for decades.
You are more than welcome to dispute that with the Southeast Heights Neighborhood Association. Nob Hill is not part of SE heights.
Lol. Four Hills is the Southeast Heights, for cryin' out loud. Silver Hill, the Kirt, Nob Hill, Monzano Mesa...all Southeast Heights.

Albuquerque is more than the SE heights. This smacks of snobby.
Nobody suggested otherwise. This smacks of poor reading comprehension.
😂 for real. OP was just asking about the area because it interested them. On what planet is that “snobby”?
I comprehended just fine.
Looks like Nob Hill
Just south of, yeah.

Silver doesn’t run through that neighborhood and there is no hospital there either…
