Andalucia in Albuquerque, NM

Andalucia is a master-planned community on Albuquerque's west side, laid out between Learning Road and Namaste Road and reaching east from Coors Boulevard NW to the Riverside Drain, with the Rio Grande bosque past that edge. The city approved the subdivision plan in 2001, and Scott Patrick Homes and Sky View Homes began building in 2006. Association dues cover the pool, the clubhouse and the landscaped common areas, and a trail follows the Coors frontage. The Andalucia Retail Center, anchored by a grocery store, stands at the development's Coors Boulevard edge near Montaño Road.

The subdivision came into the city and took its zoning in a single pass: annexation, a zone map amendment and a site development plan covering the whole of it cleared the Environmental Planning Commission in February 2001, five years before the first crews broke ground.

The name points next door. La Luz del Oeste, the townhouse community Antoine Predock designed in 1968, occupies the same stretch of west-bank land between Coors Boulevard and the river.

Dues go to the shared side of the place: common areas and their landscaping, road maintenance, grounds upkeep, the pool and the clubhouse. Walking paths thread the common ground, and the association's amenity record extends to bosque trail access.

One sub-community is recorded beneath it. Andalucia at La Luz is the plat name the city approved, so the two labels describe the same ground rather than a smaller pocket of it. Sevilla Avenue is the main pedestrian and bicycle way in from Coors Boulevard, with a bus stop on Coors just north of it.
