When the sun sets each day, Albuquerque seems to be hand-painted, with spectacular strokes of pink, red, yellow, orange, blue, purple and even green splashed across the horizon. The Sandia Mountains - Sandia means "watermelon" in Spanish - are named for the bright pink from the rocks and the green from the surrounding forests. This mountain range and the Manzano foothills boast some of the area's best hiking, and are only a short drive away from Albuquerque apartments.

Albuquerque is divided into four quadrants: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and Southwest. The Sandia Mountains are in city's Northeast quadrant, as is the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, the Uptown area which includes Coronado and Winrock malls, the University of New Mexico and affordable Albuquerque apartments near campus.
