ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — What is the most expensive zip code in Albuquerque? If you’ve lived here for decades, it may not be where you expected it in the past.
An area that used to be a tire dumping spot is now home to some of the most expensive real estate in the metro. According to Adams, the most expensive zip code is 87122. This is in the far Northeast Heights of Albuquerque, along the Eubank and Paseo Corridor, all the way north to Tramway Boulevard. Neighborhoods include Sandia Heights and North Albuquerque Acres.
“It’s gone through a little bit of a transformation. It once was raw land where people would go and dump tires. Maybe high school kids would go out and have mesa parties,” Adams said. “You can get into a home in this zip code for, I think the top price right now is $3.5 million. But don’t worry, if you don’t have that kind of cash in your back pocket, you can always slide into a fixer-upper for around $700,000.”…
