Hi guys, I am going be moving from out of state, to ABQ for the first time. I have searched the forums here before, but I have not been able to exactly pin point, one way or the other.
I have drawn a circle on the map, of the area I might be renting an apartment at tomorrow. I will not be able to visit the area....
I have seen posts saying to "stay away" from south east. But I want to know... is the red circled area a bad area? Whats bad about it? Shootings daily? Whats is bad about it?
I just moved to that general area a couple of weeks ago, so far it seems fine during the daytime, it's sketchy at night (like any city, really). I don't know about shootings, but prostitution / possession / trespass / DWIs arrests are a daily thing.
Are we talking about the Warren apartments near the veterans memorial?
If so, I'm going to have to say no. That is pretty hood.
There are some new(ish) (early 2000's) apartments to the North of the Warren.
Since we're narrowing this down... I would stay West of.... heck... here's a map...
There are also a few decent apartments on Gibson near San Pedro... there is actually a small apartment complex tucked away right here...
They look rough in front, but I'm telling you a friend of mine lived in a very nice two bedroom tucked away where the arrow is pointing, it had a fireplace and washer/dryer. Rent was a about $550. However, no gated parking.
"The apartment complex is built like a square fort, with units all around the inner and outer sides. The grounds are kept quite clean and overall the complex is very pretty. There is a security gate that only opens with a personal code and a security guard on patrol at night. Both are necessary, however, as the apartments are not in a great part of town. The units are small, but comfortable, and most come with a microwave and decent closet space. The studios also have a built-in retractable room separator for more privacy. The air conditioner leaves something to be desired in the summer, as does the heater in the winter, but with all utilities included a fan and portable heater can finish the job. Comcast cable is included in the monthly rent and you can also receive a discount for high speed internet if interested. There is a small pool and an even smaller hot tub, both are in decent condition. There is also a "fitness center" on the grounds, however the selection of equipment is dated and in poor condition. Bugs are not much of an issue in this complex, but you will see one or two every now and then. As a whole I believe the apartments are priced reasonably at $450/month, however its not a fantastic value or a hidden luxury apartment....looks like you get what you pay for ; )"
