Albuquerque, New Mexico is one of those cities that often gets overlooked by home-buyers looking to relocate to the southwest.  With low pollution rates, affordable housing and sunny weather, there is no reason Albuquerque should be discounted when deciding where to live.  Here are just a few reasons to make the move to Albuquerque.

Affordable Housing

Perhaps one of the biggest reasons to move to Albuquerque is the affordable housing market. Homes for sale in Albuquerque tend to be significantly cheaper than homes in other southwestern areas, making it a desirable place to live for folks on a budget.  
Gas also tends to be cheaper in Albuquerque, as well as groceries and even education. For people who find themselves living paycheck to paycheck in other parts of the country, Albuquerque can be a financially beneficial move.

The Best of Both Worlds

The cool thing about living in Albuquerque is that you get both a big city AND small town vibe, depending on where you go.  Albuquerque offers many of the same things you would expect from a big city, such as shopping and nightlife, but also has a small town feel in terms of the lack of pollution and noise.  
Albuquerque is also home to some great restaurants, like Frontier, a laid back spot that specializes in traditional New Mexican food, and Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, one of the best seafood restaurants in the area.

Active Lifestyle

Albuquerque ranked as the number 3 most fit city in America according to Men’s Fitness, and for good reason.  Albuquerque has countless parks and outdoor recreational areas, as well as several hiking and running trails.
 Bicycling is a popular form of exercise in Albuquerque, and many locals even bike to work instead of driving.  There are more than 400 miles of combined bike paths and trails in Albuquerque, making it an ideal city for health-conscious individuals.
