The “East Mountains” of the metro area consists of several communities just east of Albuquerque, accessed off of I-40. There are still wonderful lots coming on the market in Cedar Crest, La Madera, Tijeras, and on into Edgewood. Tijeras also extends south through beautiful mountainous areas, while north of Cedar Crest and La Madera are the upscale communities of San Pedro Creek and Paa-ko, which boasts a world-class golf course.
