Resting beside the Sandia Mountain, High Desert is one of Albuquerque’s most upscale neighborhoods. High Desert is perfect for residents who want to be surrounded by natural beauty at all times, boasting pueblo-style mansions, impressive Mediterranean single-family homes, and luxury apartments for rent amongst hills and mountainous terrain. Naturally, outdoor enthusiasts adore this neighborhood because of its proximity to the mountains. In their free time, you’ll find your new neighbors exploring mountain trails or hitching a ride on the Sandia Peak Tramway for awe-inspiring views of the city and access to ski slopes and cozy eateries. Renters of all ages will fall in love with this beautiful community, but families adore being part of a high-performing school district. High Desert feels secluded but is convenient to several commercial centers and major destinations in the city including Downtown Albuquerque and the University of New Mexico. U.S.

Property Ratings at Altezza High Desert
Don't be fooled by a small deposit. When you leave, you may get hit with replacement of carpet in a room. Best Advice: Find fault with everything in the apartment, carpet, bathroom tile, floor. Because if you leave out anything that is where they will hit you. I am sure they will do the samething with the next resident without replacing the carpet for which they charged me. The worst part is they send your account to collections right after you move out. The water bill is outrageous because you pay for the water used in sprinklers on the whole property.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We strive to provide comfortable apartment homes and transparent communication, and we’re sorry to hear your experience with move-out charges and utilities did not meet expectations. Your comments are taken seriously, and we’ll be sure to keep them in mind as we work to improve the experience for residents.
I lived here for about 3 years. The location is beautiful. The apartment complex itself is old and getting run down, the apartments suffer from leaks, plumbing issues, and rot. The tour apartment is nothing like the actual apartment. I felt very bait and switched with no other options. The move out policy is very restrictive. 60 days plus 2 months rent and they don't tell you that until move in day. They have a lot of crime problems and vandalism problems. This causes most of the amenities listed to be unavailable for the residents for months on end. Parking is a problem and the solution was to park in fire lanes. Rent increases are about 20%.

As long as you understand you are paying to live in the area and not for any costumer service, care, or concern from the office staff. There were a string of car break ins and an apartment break in and the office staff hardly seem concerned about it. In fact, they delete posts regarding these instances from their community forum. They want the complex to appear perfect when really they are cheap and unsafe. The locks are easily picked and they aren't even willing to change the locks. This self serving, money hungry attitude applies to all their business areas. The move in walk through was meager and all my concerns were dismissed with "well that's just old." Also not kid friendly

I have lived at Altezza High Desert for a number of years now. I enjoy the scenic view afforded by this complex, and the great variety in apartments offered. I would also say that the maintenance staff at this complex is second to none in the readiness and ability to fix any apartment problems that have happened over the seven years. The office staff has always been friendly and helpfull to me, no matter what the problem. The general property manager is most accomodating and open to resident suggestions and concerns. Madeline

There were a lot of problems with out apartment on move-in that we discovered over time. A door fell off its hinge within a week. The sliding doors on the closets, as well as the sliding screen door on the porch fell off their tracks often as a result of being old and worn out. One of the locks on the front door was inoperable. The appliances are not modern and we saw spiders inside a few times per week.
