Broadway Central Corridor House for Sale

From its 1890s Victorians to its 1920s bungalows, Broadway Central Corridor is loaded with history. Much of this Albuquerque neighborhood falls within the Huning Highlands Historic District, which was the city’s first subdivision and is on the National Register of Historic Districts. The classic homes here are a magnet for new residents. “Especially people that are coming in from the east because they’re houses that were built to look like houses from the east," says local Realtor Barbara Maddox, a New Mexico native with Albuquerque-based Maddox & Co. Realtors. “And from the West Coast," she adds. "We’ve got a lot of California bungalows. The historicalness is a draw.” Homes line walkable blocks, giving residents quick access to Central Avenue restaurants and to the popular Highland Park. Every street around Broadway Central Corridor features a slightly different flavor, and no two neighboring homes are exactly the same. The district dates back to the 1880s, when the railroad arrived. Bungalows and Victorian-style houses are common, but the layouts and colors vary, creating a kaleidoscope of historic character. “They’re not building the way they did back then,” says Maddox, who
