Los Griegos in Albuquerque, NM

Los Griegos is a historic North Valley neighborhood in Albuquerque, running from Griegos Road south to Candelaria Road and from 12th Street west toward Rio Grande Boulevard. It began as an early 1700s Spanish land grant to the Griego family and grew as a linear farming settlement strung between the Rio Grande and the main irrigation ditch. The city annexed it in the 1940s and 1950s. Centuries-old buildings and working acequias still shape the street pattern, and the federal government listed the area as a National Register historic district in 1984. Griegos Elementary and the Los Griegos Library sit inside the boundaries.

The neighborhood has no homeowners association. Residents organize through the Los Griegos Neighborhood Association, which held its first modern meeting in 2022 after an earlier group lapsed before 1994.

On the Candelaria edge, the Dede Feldman Los Griegos Health and Social Services Center runs a food pantry, community meeting rooms and a maternity and family planning clinic.
