Story Rock in Albuquerque, NM

Story Rock is a single-builder subdivision on Albuquerque's Westside, sitting in 87120 between Unser Boulevard on the west and Coors Boulevard on the east. D.R. Horton built the one- and two-story houses here, most under tile roofs and many with three-car garages. The neighborhood takes its name from the story carvings pecked into the rocks nearby, and Petroglyph National Monument stands within walking distance. A private park at its center holds a covered pavilion, a picnic table and a climbing rock, and the path through it feeds into the city's bike and walking trail network. A homeowners association looks after the common ground.

Coors and Unser carry most traffic in and out of this stretch of the Westside, with the Rio Grande crossings a short drive east. The park and pavilion belong to the association, so their upkeep sits with residents rather than the city.
