5501 Central Ave NW

Nestled in the heart of Albuquerque, near the Rio Grande river is 5501 Central Ave NW. Originally built in 1942 as a classic Americana motel (previously named Relax Inn) it has now been converted into modern studio and one bedroom apartments. Looking for tenants with vison. Affordable and fresh, leases can be long term or month to month, and all utilities are included. Laundry facility and vending machine service on site. Security fenced parking coming soon. Locally owned and operated, great landlords.

Known as the ‘Mother Road’ or ‘Main Street of America’, Route 66 cuts through New Mexico and right down the center of Albuquerque. Officially the name has changed to Central Ave but the heartbeat, pulse and groovy vibe of one of the first highways through America still thrives in downtown Burque. Local cafes, breweries and shopping experiences are all within walking distance of 5501 as well as a world renown aquarium and the famous Rio Grande. 

The University of New Mexico or UNM to the locals has been around since 1889 and offers bachelor, master, doctoral and professional degree programs in dozens of fields of study. 5501 is located between the main campus in Nob Hill and the Rio Rancho campus. Public transportation can quickly get you to either facility. Bike lanes stretch from neighborhood to neighborhood. Flexible lease terms for students. GO LOBOS!

Check out Tingley Beach, just minutes away. It’s part of the Albuquerque Biological Park complex. A great place to take a nature walk, enjoy the sun and breathe the fresh air while you feed ducks or try your hand at fishing. The Bosque is also a serene and lovely place to meditate, exercise or enjoy the outdoors any time of the year.

Old Town is a plethora of great shopping, fine dining, local cuisine, history, culture and is only two miles away. The ART (Albuquerque Rapid Transit) will make it convenient to travel around town; the Yucca stop is literally outside your front door. Only ten minutes from the airport, five minutes to downtown or fifteen minutes to the Balloon Fiesta Park, 5501 Central is perfectly located for whatever your plans.
