San Antonito (Bernalillo County), NM

Tucked into New Mexico's East Mountains along Highway 14, San Antonito offers a quiet, rural lifestyle with easy access to Albuquerque.

At the center of the community stands its historic 1880s adobe church and cemetery, lovingly cared for by residents across generations through volunteer upkeep, community fundraisers, and annual fiestas. It is a welcoming mountain town where neighbors still look out for one another, surrounded by pinon-covered hills, cooler alpine air, and wide open skies.
