Sandia Park

Resort-like Living

Cedar Crest’s neighbor to the north, just a little further along the Turquoise Trail, is Sandia Park. Known for its spectacular scenic byway to the top of Sandia Crest, Sandia Park offers convenience to both Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The drive up to the Crest (at 10,678 feet above sea level) takes you past beautiful picnic areas, hiking trails, a snow play area and a first-rate ski area. Sandia Park is the one place where you can ski in the morning, and play a round of golf in the afternoon, at Golf Digest’s top pick, the Paa-ko Ridge Golf Club! There is also a community center, a top-rated elementary school, a charter high school, restaurants and more to enjoy! You’ll find master-planned communities here such as Paa-ko, San Pedro Creek, The Overlook, Sandia Knolls and Magic Valley, as well as vast open areas where your back yard is measured in acres, not feet. With an open, rural feel, it is not uncommon to see your neighbors go by on horseback!
