An established community in Northeastern Albuquerque
Holiday Park in northeast Albuquerque stands out among its neighbors for its age and modesty. “If you go a little bit northeast of Holiday Park, you’ll find neighborhoods full of really high-end custom-built homes,” says Realtor John Sheffer with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services New Mexico, who has over 20 years of experience in the area. “If you go a little bit north, you hit golf course communities. Holiday Park is in that area but is older and still affordable. It’s an established neighborhood where comradery between neighbors is still a thing, which you just don’t find a lot of these days.” Flanked on either side by popular restaurants, major thoroughfares and parks, Holiday Park offers residents access to all of Albuquerque from the foothills of the Sandia Mountains.
