Albuquerque, the state's largest city, is situated in the geographic center of New Mexico at the crossroads of Interstates 25 and 40. The city is nestled in the lush Rio Grande Valley with the 10,678-foot Sandia Mountains forming its eastern boundary. It is the financial and industrial hub of the state and serves as New Mexico's center for commerce, communications, transportation, and medical facilities. Its diverse economic base includes education, government, and research and development.

A variety of cultures and traditions blend together in the region to create a lively atmosphere. The area's wide open spaces provide numerous recreational activities throughout the year, from world-class snow skiing to hang gliding and ballooning, from camping, hiking and backpacking, mountain biking, rock climbing, llama trekking to year-round golf, from water sports at nearby lakes to white-water rafting, from fishing and hunting to mountain climbing. Some of New Mexico's tribes have casinos with facilities, art and amenities. (Information provided by the 2003 New Mexico Commercial Real Estate Directory presented by NAIOP.)
