ABF Service Center: Albuquerque, New Mexico

Moving to Albuquerque, NM?
Pack your sunscreen and your sense of adventure if you are headed to Albuquerque! This southwest city has been recognized as one of the most culturally diverse cities in the nation! Moving to Albuquerque will immerse you in the Southwestern culture, everything from cuisine, music, traditions, architecture and more! Let’s explore some other factors that make Albuquerque a great place to live.

Geography and climate. Albuquerque straddles the Rio Grande river in the upper Chihuahua Desert. The elevation level varies in the city from 4,900 feet above sea level to 6,700 feet above sea level. To the east are the Sandia and Manzano mountains, and to the west are several volcanic cones that are the beginning of high plateau country. The weather is dry and warm. The summer highs average temperatures in the 90s, and winter averages are mild in the 40s. Albuquerque experiences over 275 days of sunshine annually, so be sure to pack the sunscreen! This region is also known for very low humidity. Because of the warm weather and low humidity, it is important to stay hydrated during the summer months.

Entertainment. Albuquerque is a fun place to live! You can experience world-class art as Albuquerque was ranked AmericanStyle Magazine’s seventh top art destination in the country. There are art markets, galleries, museums, theaters, along with many artisans creating masterpieces in pottery, jewelry, tinwork and other unique mediums. If you like to play outside, all that sunshine makes Albuquerque a great place to live! You can bike, hike, ski, snowboard, golf, bird watch, raft, canoe, or do just about any outdoor activity your heart desires. If you prefer to be a spectator, Albuquerque is home to the Isotopes AAA baseball team (affiliate to the LA Dodgers, and named after an episode of “The Simpsons”!), college sports from the University of New Mexico, auto racing at the Sandia Motor Speedway, and BMX racing at Duke City BMX.

Ballooning. One of the highlights of life in Albuquerque is the opportunity to take to the skies! Albuquerque is the Hot Air Balloon Capital of the World. There are companies that can take you up on a ride, or you can enjoy the world’s largest hot air balloon festival in October! It is the most photographed event in the world. You can also visit the Albuquerque International Balloon Museum to learn all about the history, science and culture of ballooning.

Cuisine. There are so many culinary specialties that you can find in this region that you better prepare your taste buds for an adventure! Chefs here blend Native American foods with European and Mexican flavors to create unique New Mexican Cuisine. You will also be asked “Red or green?” frequently and they are asking about your preference for chile, as both options are popular here! (Insider tip: to locals, it is just “green chile” not “green chile sauce.” Call it this to not sound like a tourist!) There are also local wineries and many food festivals, along with Farmer’s Markets to visit.

Education. If you are moving to Albuquerque with children, they will attend school with the Albuquerque Public School system. This is a very large system with over 90,000 students in 136 schools! There are also several private and charter schools to choose from. For higher education, you have several options, with the largest being the University of New Mexico. You can be a “Lobo” (a wolf) and be a student in one of their 215 degree programs.

ABF in Albuquerque

P. McMahan

The staff were just great. The disatch guy, Tom in Albuquerque was just so good to me too at such a stressful time. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate those people that helped me to move my things. The people that I encountered Cindy, Sean, and James and especially Tom were the best I’ve ever seen in the service industry and I’ve been working in the service industry for over 40 years. You have gems in those people. Thanks to them I had less to worry about. Thank you for having such a great staff.

We were very pleased with the service, and that is putting it mildly! We had our stuff arrive at destination on time and everything was great except that we couldn’t get the house closed or get the key but the Albuquerque office was more than accomodating and helpful during our time of EXTREME STRESS
