Montecito Vistas in Albuquerque, NM

Montecito Vistas is a single-family subdivision on Albuquerque's Northwest Mesa, reached from Unser Boulevard at Molten Rock Road, on streets carrying the Vista name. Pulte Homes built it and has since sold out the community, leaving pocket parks, multi-use trails and covenants held by the Montecito Vistas Community Association. Petroglyph National Monument spreads out immediately to the south, and a trailhead for the city's Paseo de la Mesa Trail lies off the same Molten Rock turn. Coors Boulevard is minutes away, downtown Albuquerque about twenty minutes farther.

Pulte's plans here came one and two stories, with two-car garages and a third bay on some elevations.

Day-to-day work for the association is handled by Associated Asset Management, which runs New Mexico communities from an Albuquerque office and covers billing, covenant enforcement and vendor coordination. Quarterly dues go to the common areas and their landscaping.

The subdivision is zoned to Tierra Antigua Elementary, Tony Hillerman Middle and Volcano Vista High.
