When I walked into my house I knew immediately I wanted to live there. It's full of light, with amazing views of the mountains. You hardly need art for the walls! On warm evenings you can sit on the back upper deck with friends or family and watch the sun set over Mount Taylor fading into reds and oranges until the lights come up over the city. Magnificent!

The downstairs floors are tile for easy cleanup, which keep the house nice and cool in the summer. The fireplace is woodburning but is plumbed for a gas insert.

You can walk or bicycle in minutes to great restaurants, two grocery stores, and just about any convenience you might want - banks, pharmacies, gym, dry cleaners, bookstore.

The neighborhood is small and neighbors introduce themselves when you…

Should You Rent Your Home?

A scenario: You find a great job in another state. Do you sell or rent your home? Think about reasons for maintaining ownership. Do you want to keep the home in case you ever move back? Are you looking for a tax break through property depreciation? Do you want the home as a retirement investment? On the other hand, are you prepared to be a long-distance landlord? There are other costs involved as well, often running 30-40% of income before the monthly mortgage cost.

If you decide to rent the home, where do you start? Get the house in shape, including interior and exterior painting and patching, carpet cleaning, appliance tune-up, ensuring adequate insulation, and fixing what needs fixing. A property management company can…

This area is great for families or single people alike. The area has much to offer. There are restaurants, movie theaters and retail stores close by. There are many parks, a public pool and community center within walking distance. Schools are within walking distance as well. We are also close to major road ways to help with getting around town fast. The area is quiet and the neighbors are super friendly. The views of the city and mountains are simply awesome. We wouldn't sell this house if we didn't need more space. With a growing family it will be a shame to leave the area.

Extras include:

  •  Recent Updated Kitchen

  •  Open Floor Plan

  •  Laundry Upstairs with the Bedrooms

2104 ContrerasOPEN HOUSE FEBRUARY 9, 2014 FROM 1-3PM. There is so much of our house that we like it’s hard to know where to start. It’s cozy, comfortable, and complete with custom features throughout and fabulous views of the Sandia Mountains. We love going out to the patio in the morning with a cup of coffee to enjoy the view and quiet – the only sounds we hear are that of the sounds of wild life. We have rabbits, quail and an assortment of birds. Or we can go out to the covered front patio and on occasion watch hot air balloons floating by in the distance. Inside the house, we love the custom Italian tile, radiant floor heat, Kiva wood burning fireplace with gas line to start that wood going. The Master Bedroom is comfortable, spacious with wood flooring and double…

8400 Hawk EyeWhat does quiet sound like??

That is the beautiful sound at our home.

Montecito Estates is such a wonderful place to raise children. Our home is quiet, airy, and spacious! Every part of this house is cozy. The home is very energy efficient keeping super cool in summer and nice and warm in the winter time. The home bills are considerably inexpensive for a home of this size. Our side yard has the perfect space to grow fruits and veggies while still having a place for the little ones to play. The covered patio makes a wonderful dinner area and a great place for morning coffee. The park and pool is about a two minute walk from the house. On any given day, a walk in the neighborhood is amazing!! There are bike trails, running trails, and amazing views of…

7173 Husky DriveThere is so much about our home that we loved. We did so much to it thinking we would never leave. We chose the place mainly because it was between both Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The best part about our house is the back yard. My wife designed the side and the ponds while I built the patio with ideas from Sandia Casino. The fence was built by myself with seeing fences like that in Santa Fe. We would go out at Sunset and look at all of the different colors of the sunset on the Sandia Crest. After that when it got dark we would watch the fish in our pond and some times have neighbors over for a glass of wine.
We also added the Central air and heat along with putting the Synthetic Stucco on our home to help with the cost of cooling and heating. It knocked…

13112 Calle Azul We moved to this location because we love the quiet cul-de-sac location. It has both the feel of living in the country but with all the benefits of city utilities. We added many special touches to the home but our favorite is probably the high-end Pella Windows with blinds in them. We put a membrane on the home that has a life-time warranty that is transferable to a buyer and it has lowered our home owner's insurance. The house has lots of natural light which we love. Our yards are xeri-scaped -- not zero-scaped and require lower water. Both yards have drip systems for watering.
