South Broadway in Albuquerque, NM

South Broadway is a historic neighborhood just south of downtown Albuquerque, bounded by Coal Avenue on the north, the BNSF Railway tracks on the west, Interstate 25 on the east, and Gibson Boulevard, Broadway Boulevard and Kathryn Avenue on the south. It was platted in the 1880s after the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway reached town, and most of its modest Victorian houses and bungalows went up in the 1890s and the early twentieth century. The South Broadway Cultural Center anchors the area with a 300-seat theatre, a gallery and a branch library, and two small parks, South Broadway and Guadalupe, sit inside the grid.

The neighborhood grew up around the Santa Fe railway shops and the Albuquerque Foundry, and the city has covered it under a metropolitan redevelopment plan since 1986, updated in 2002.

Interstate 25 runs along the eastern edge, and ABQ RIDE's Route 16 follows Broadway through the neighborhood. Across the tracks in Barelas, the Rail Yards Market fills the old locomotive shops on Sundays from May through October.
