Neighborhood

Indian Acres is a friendly, delightful community that sits about four miles northeast of downtown Albuquerque. The weather is mild to hot and sunny nearly year round, and the surrounding landscape is a mix of urban, suburban, and developed desert. Cars abound, although Indian Acres is very flat, so it's both bikeable and walkable. Local buses are a good alternative for those looking for public transportation.

Downtown Albuquerque is also the main rail and transit hub for all of New Mexico. Homes for rent in Indian Acres are 11 minutes from Greyhound, Amtrak, and local surface lines, such as the Rio Metro Bus Service. The Grower's Market, also situated downtown and running between April and November, is where most locals go for local produce, groceries, live music, yoga, and doses of community spirit. City-sponsored softball is a huge plus for sports fans.

Indian Acres has a distinct family atmosphere but welcomes everyone.
