Summit Park is close to UNM's North Campus and Nob Hill

Summit Park, which has a community park by the same name, is an Albuquerque neighborhood close to the University of New Mexico's North Campus, which includes the UNM Hospital. It's less than a mile to the trendy retail district Nob Hill, which is off Central Avenue. "Nob Hill tends to be more urban because it's near a busy street. If you extend north and south, it's all considered the 'UNM Area,'" says Kim Kiegel, an associate broker with eXp Realty.

Homes in Summit Park date to the 1940s through the 1970s

Most of Summit Park's homes were built from the 1940s to the '70s. "They have character. The architecture tends to be Pueblo style or sometimes Territorial style," says Kiegel. Pueblo-style homes have stucco walls, flat roofs and timbering. Territorial-style homes have similar exteriors and roofing, but may include Greek Revival features like square columns, pillars and the use of brick. There are also bungalows, split levels and ramblers in the neighborhood. Prices range from the $300,000s to $700,000s. Townhouses off Indian School Road Northeast have hovered in the $200,000s.
