Tijeras Real Estate
Tijeras, located at the junction of I-40 and NM-337 in Tijeras Canyon, serves as the gateway to the East Mountains — a collection of communities along the eastern slopes of the Sandia and Manzano Mountains. At approximately 6,200 feet elevation, Tijeras offers pine-forested living just 15 minutes from Albuquerque.
East Mountain Living
The East Mountains corridor — including Tijeras, Cedar Crest, Sandia Park, and Edgewood — appeals to buyers seeking mountain properties with manageable commutes. Homes range from cabins on wooded lots to custom homes with panoramic views. The area is 5–15 degrees cooler than Albuquerque in summer, receives more snowfall in winter, and offers immediate access to Cibola National Forest trails. The Tijeras Pueblo Archaeological Site preserves a 14th-century pueblo within the village.
