Four Hills Village, located between I-40 and the Manzano foothills, is a residential and hillside Albuquerque neighborhood with winding streets and mountain-view patios. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Four Hills Shopping Center at Juan Tabo Blvd SE and Central Ave SE, where low-slung storefronts, local eateries, and everyday services set a relaxed, practical rhythm. Mid-century ranch homes and adobe-influenced builds follow the contours of arroyos and ridgelines. Trailheads and open space define the daily backdrop, with quick transitions from pavement to piñon-dotted paths. The Canyon Club anchors the social calendar with golf and clubhouse gatherings. Nearby, the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History and the KiMo Theatre add cultural range beyond the foothills.
