A charming locale on the cusp of Downtown ABQ

Convenient Charming Historic Close-Knit Welcoming

Located in Albuquerque's increasingly popular Uptown area, Bel-Air combines quiet residential living with easy access to world-class shopping and entertainment. Rentals in the neighborhood primarily consist of single-family homes in eclectic styles ranging from traditional stucco ranches to Art Deco-inspired buildings. A volunteer neighborhood association helps foster a sense of community with an annual neighborhood party at the lovely Bel Air-Miramontes Park, organized clean-up days, and much more.

This neighborhood lies near the intersection of Interstates 25 and 40 for easy commuter access. A few minutes' drive up Menaul Boulevard leads to Coronado Center and ABQ Uptown, two area shopping destinations. The EXPO New Mexico Fairgrounds, which hosts flea markets, horse racing, and concerts in addition to the annual state fair, is just a few minutes away from the neighborhood on the other side of I-40.
