Kirtland Community frames the southeast edge of Albuquerque in Bernalillo County, offering easy access to duty stations, runways, and downtown corridors without losing a neighborhood feel. Anchored by the gates of Kirtland Air Force Base and minutes from the terminals at the Albuquerque International Sunport, the area suits service members, airline employees, and anyone who values a short commute. Quick connections on Gibson and Carlisle put residents near job centers and dining in Barelas, the eclectic storefronts of Nob Hill, the global flavors of the International District, and the growing employment hub at Mesa del Sol.
Weekends can swing between tee times at the city-run Puerto del Sol Golf Course, picnics and play at USS Bullhead Memorial Park, and hands-on exploration at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History. Housing runs from classic mid-century ranches to newer infill and low-maintenance apartments, with garages and yards that make daily life straightforward.
Families appreciate neighborhood schools within Albuquerque Public Schools, including Kirtland Elementary School, Van Buren Middle School, and Highland High School. With everyday conveniences, reliable transit corridors, and a strong sense of purpose shaped by the base, Kirtland Community balances practicality and opportunity.
