Master-planned Mesa del Sol offers convenience and new construction
Mesa del Sol is a master-planned community in a sunny stretch of desert in southeast Albuquerque. While it’s on the outskirts of the city, it’s still convenient to employment and entertainment. Albuquerque’s major employers, the city’s air force base and its science and technology industry, are all nearby. But perhaps its most well-known employer is just across the street: Netflix Albuquerque Studios, one of the streaming giant’s three filming locations, which includes 12 sound stages and multiple production offices next to the community.
Netflix Studios is located in Mesa del Sol.

Commuting to downtown, major employers and the airport
University Boulevard is the main entrance and exit to the community, and it leads directly to the Albuquerque International Sunport, about 6 miles away. East of the airport, the Kirtland Air Force Base is a major regional employer, about 11 miles from the neighborhood; Sandia National Laboratories and the Sandia Science & Technology Park are even farther east, about 14 miles away.
Proximity to employers can be a major draw for the new community, Henry Padilla, a Realtor and team lead with Real Broker, who has about 7 years of experience, explains. “When it comes to new construction in Albuquerque, there aren’t many options,” he says. “[Mesa del Sol] is the closest to the Labs. The other new constructions are on the opposite side of town.” Additionally, commuters can use nearby Interstate 25 to get to Downtown Albuquerque, a 10-mile trip that can take over 20 minutes during rush hour.
Mesa del Sol residents are only minutes away from Kirtland Air Force Base.
The Albuquerque International Sunport, which is served by several commercial airlines, is only minutes from Mesa del Sol.

Future development and sustainability
Much of the residential community is still under development, and Mesa del Sol is surrounded by open land that developers hope will be home to employment and commercial centers. “It’s hands-down the most up-and-coming neighborhood when it comes to development and infrastructure,” Padilla says. “It’s going to be a little city of its own.” The planning for Mesa del Sol incorporated geodesign, which considers natural resource conservation, the impact of population growth and carbon footprint reduction. Many homes come with eco-friendly features as well, including:
220v EV chargers for electric vehicles
Solar energy systems
Smart home systems, which connect lighting, appliances and thermostats to a smart home hub or an app
ENERGY STAR certifications, which ensure the home meets energy efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency

Outdoor recreation near Mesa del Sol
Just across the street from the residential part of the neighborhood, the Dr. E. A. Swede Scholar Regional Recreation Complex encompasses several athletic fields. The 27-hole golf course at the Isleta Resort & Casino is nearby, and the Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge is across the interstate. Spanning about 570 acres, the wildlife refuge seeks to rehabilitate land that used to be an old farm; so far, species like coyotes, big brown bats and yerba mansa, a medicinal plant with white flowers, have made the area home.
The Isleta Amphitheater is adjacent to the Dr. E. A. Swede Scholar Regional Recreation Complex, and it hosts big-name acts, like Motley Crue, The Foo Fighters and Luke Bryan. “It’s our main [venue,]” Padilla says, though he cautions that the amphitheater can cause traffic near the community. “All the big concerts, all the big names, that’s where they go when they go on tour through Albuquerque.” The Albuquerque Dragway is set to open nearby at the beginning of 2026.
