I lived here as a kid through middle school, and it was really great. Nice people, great weather and food, and the sky is very, very blue. I don't think I've been anywhere where the sky is that pretty.
YoungG30 I lived in both to and tbh I think NM is better in my opinion because it’s more of a small city and you have more space over here if you get a house but I will say Az is more modern and it has more to do
YoungG30 Well I’m 19 bro and we have the mall , we have the sand dunes where we can go in the razors and the dirt bikes we have the movies and they are building a top golf and I have a swimming pools I do that also I like going to the river a lot and hiking in the different trails I also like going to Santa Rosa camping in the summer and main event so we have quiet a bit but I know AZ does have more
Wow looks all like a big and wonderful Theme park. Beautiful! I love South California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.... my favorite States in the US. Greets from Germany!
The USA is rhe most developed xountry in tje world. Also it has tge most impresive and nicest places in the globe. I adore all wich is made or come from US nation. My favorite is neighbords, cars and electric home devices, auch as refrigerators, ranges and washing machines. Albuquerque looks amazing, like all the United States is. Greetings from the far Santiago, Chile.
Nice video of Old Town in Albuquerque. I grew up in Albuq. from age 3 but moved to Texas at age 41. Seeing the quaint village really tugged at my heartstrings! I'm 58 now and considering moving back for retirement.
Nob Hill is great for restaurants and breweries, International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Oct., Grower's Markets and Corrales- all are must see in ABQ. Much more to it than Old Town. Thanks for showing my town.
Northern european here who will visit NM and Arizona summer 2023, probably a trip into Texas as well. Always wanted to visit some of the US desert states. 🏜 Don't know why I feel drawn to those places but I daydream of them constantly.
Did you go to the museums? Church street is famous! Please go to Bien Mur on Sandra Pueblo, the Tram, Sindoni foundry, where they make statues. Thank you, plan to return to New Mexico soon.
I live in Cruces. Threw a dart at the map, sold everything in my house, and moved there. I didn't know anyone here , no connections, nothing. (I'm 23 btw). And it's absolutely heaven on Earth! Super safe. I moved from Springfield Missouri so the closest people I know are 15 hours away. Cost of living is ridiculously cheap, it's safe, there is SOOOO much to do outdoors it's absolutely crazy! I loaded my little car up with what I could, no job lined up, never even visited last Cruces before, and drove out here and made it work. Found a job immediately! It's great
Noel Ebbert I live in the village of Corrales just outside of ABQ, Corrales is a gorgeous Village along the Rio Grande with the lowest crime in the State. No crime here, I leave my doors unlocked, I left Cali for New Mexico and I love it!!
Dylan Bennett hey bro, do you know how to casting for Netflix in Albuquerque? I'm an actor from Argentina but don’t know nobody there. Now I’m in California.
Demian Cecconi I have info on it if I can find it, I’ll get back to you. A man who owns an art gallery in Corrales where I live wrote down contacts for me and said they can’t get enough extras, it would be somewhere to start. Netflix is doing non stop filming out here
Abq is small city. Not much night life. Everything closes at 10pm. Hang out at walmart. Its inexpensive. However crime is bad. Due to poverty and lack of jobs. If you want to retire its a good place. Just keep out of bad areas of town. Its really more of tourist state. Great to visit but think really hard about living here. If you got grit you can make it your home.
Ninja k it’s funny, been a native all my life. You here about the crime all the time on KOAT, but I can’t imagine Living anywhere else. If you take all of the crime out, Albuquerque is such a beautiful place,
Ninja k the slow down is the only thing that scares me lol I’m used to everything face paced. Other than that as long as they’re friendly faces I’m good. I’m going there for mma training
@@TherealSIRenity cool man. Yea it slow. Everyone kinda minds their own. You can see the whole town in a week. Just few bar and breweries. College campus. Alot pawn shops and fast food joints. Will need a car to get around. Public transit is not too good. Three main cultures. Hispanic. Anglo and native american. City is near a USAF base and National Labs. Get dry heat. Summers in 98 to 100 degrees. Little rain until late august. Winters are not really cold. Spring gets windy and dusty.
Sorry, but the town is named afrer the Duke of Alburquerque who resided in Spain. Please note the spelling; the extra r was removed some years after the town was set up. There were several hundred Mexican families living along the Rio Grande as far back as the early 1600's.
Nuevo Mexico1912 Albuquerque is no worse now than it was in the past. It’s actually way better with much more going for it and happening. Stop looking at the past with rose colored glasses. The 80s and 90s were much worse in Albuquerque.
@@alejandrogonsalez2931 80s & 90s weren't 3yrs ago. I still visit Albuquerque, just glad I dont live there anymore. I sold my house & property in Albuquerque. I bought a ranch near Pecos NM & couldnt be happier👍
Hi! I'm new to your channel and I love this tour of my home town! I have a question, what camera do use and any edit programs you suggest to make a killer video like this one? I'd like to know if you can share this with me, thank you!
Great tour of old town, really brought back what it's like to walk around there. I'm looking forward to a Part 2 with the rest of Albuquerque, which I haven't seen. The video needs a camera grip with better vertical stabilization though - the bouncing was distracting.
Wel;l, you fouled up big time right out of the gate. The "Duke Cit" nick name is named after John (the Duke) Wayne. You're talking about going to Central from the Plaza in Old Town but you were walking in the opposite direction
You seem to be portraying Old Town as typical Albuquerque. Old Town is just a tourist stop. I love it and always take company there, but it's not representative of the city. Yes, the cost of living is much lower than large cities like NY, but so is the average income. I believe Albuquerque's cost of living is average compared to the whole US, or perhaps a little lower.
The government in Albuquerque will do nothing (but they'll do it aggressively) about the homeless and it's become a cleanliness issue. The restaurants in Albuquerque are surprisingly bad, but the managers of the restaurants are VERY defensive and they would never admit a mistake in their food prep. (True - look at Yelp to see the defensiveness) The education system here was always bad, but since the pandemic, few people even graduate from highschool. It shows in every interaction you have - with grocery store employees, drug store employees, clinic employees. The other remarkable thing is that they diligently NEVER follow up. If someone says they'll get back to you, get their name and then call them a week or two later. They got busy. People will risk killing you to speed to a stop sign, and most days there are car parts (fenders, bumpers, car mirrors etc) on every corner because there are so many accidents. The police just decided they will not respond to 911 calls at the homeless camps. The weather is beautiful, the people are really nice (if they are out of their cars).
Its the places old town is pretty much deserted and when you go down a few streets to downtown thats where its at and uptown as well this video doesn't give any justice
Finally, a homie said it himself. Mexico! There are many Hernandez’s here, along with Garcia’s, Trujillos , Gonzales, of which 80% are democrats. ( social programs). Gimme, gimme...
So..pretty much Downtown and Old town...eh?? A lot of places have "old towns" (San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson, etc) but this one seems pretty sizeable! I mean the Restaurant alone probably has it's own Zip Code...LOL!
You're very talented. I have no idea how you edited all the crime, homeless, trash, graffiti, meth heads talking to themselves, and pan handlers. Great job .
Let me mention what else he left out. Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods , massive amounts of humidity, earthquakes, to name a few. The places you live are filled with people oozing water droplets of sweat rolling down their bodies from all the humidity. Everything you mentioned can be found in every city you describe. Jeez!
Excuse me, but the name of Albuquerque comes from Spain, and not from Portugal. In fact, the city was founded by Spaniards in honor of the Duke of Albuquerque, at that time the Governor of Nueva España (New Spain). Nueva España was a territory that included the current country of Mexico and more territories in the modern United States. And the duchy of Alburquerque came from a small town in Extremadura, Spain, called Alburquerque, which still exists. Disculpe, pero Albuquerque es un nombre de origen español y no portugués. La ciudad, fundada por españoles, recibió este nombre en honor al duque de Alburquerque, gobernador de Nueva España en aquella época. Y el Ducado de Alburquerque se llamaba así por una pequeña ciudad en Extremadura, España, llamada Alburquerque, que todavía existe.
You should really know your history. Albuquerque was named after the Duke of Albuquerque in Spain. Otherwise good video but visit the tram to the top of the Sandia mountains.
He only showed old town there's downtown within. A few blocks and that has many attractions as well as nob hill which is where everything is at the video you watched does no justice but old town is cool if you're 60 and want to spend your retirement money on gifts
Some facts about NM(1)K-12 public schools are terrible,bottom 5 US.A lot of media rank them dead last.High School drop out rat e is highest in nation.(2)Crime is double the national average.Just last week Mayor of ALB.was begging the Gov. 4 help with the crime.What do you know, some druggie stabbed 11 people in Alb.few days later.Also that week they captured 2 loser druggies for shooting a law enforcement officer.(3)This is simple DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS AND MORE DRUGS.(4)Ineffective Governmentment from the top down...DUH!

I'm homesick for a place I've never even been to. My heart aches watching this
Where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer
and the towels are oh so fluffy.
I used to live in Albuquerque. Great food. Green chili is top tier imo.
Wow looks all like a big and wonderful Theme park.
Beautiful!
I love South California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.... my favorite States in the US.
Greets from Germany!
Bin komplett deiner Meinung, ich liebe genau die gleichen States, vor allem New Mexico!
Ja moin die Deutschen einfach hier 😃✌🏻

It's so CLEAN!!!
This video + the background music = heaven
You were literally there, two months to the day, after I was there walking around Old Town. I loved it!
Yo I actually live in Albuquerque New Mexico and omg it’s one of the coolest and beautiful city in New Mexico come and visit if you had the chance
You should have went on the tram! Great view from the top of the mountain!
I have lived in ABQ, NM 87107 for 11 plus years. I love it !
I'm planning to visit the white sands monument there for my next trip. Thanks for the tour of Albuquerque. Can't wait to see Santa Fe!
Yes, I highly recommend Santa Fe, Video on that soon!
Love Albuquerque and I can't wait to get back and sample some of that awesome combination plate,great video😋
Place of my birth. Nicly done
What a fantastic tour thank you so much. It's been very helpful in making my decision to move down there.
I was thinking about moving here with my daughter several years ago
I like the lil chapel in old town.. Church st cafe is bomb and haunted! LOVE MY HOME!!!
Felicitaciones!! Gran trabajo!! El video incentiva visitar esa bonita ciudad 👍
I love the vibrant colors of the buildings!
Love my city ❥
Perfect video
They seem so nice. Love Mexican food
It's my favorite
I like the downtown areas you showed. I could live there if it were near an ocean. Thanks for the video!
At 5200 feet, that’s not going to happen!

Damn America sure has clean roads and Streets
Awe bummer I wish I would of known you were in town !! I would of loved to show you some cool things -- lived here for 37 years -
So how would you compare Albuquerque to Santa Fe?
Santa fe has less crime than Albuquerque but pretty much all of New Mexico is ranked number 1 in crime.
I would love to live in NM, just hard to find a decent job and i've heard crime is no joke. I'd love to see Las cruces.
great video as always man.
I live in Cruces. Threw a dart at the map, sold everything in my house, and moved there. I didn't know anyone here , no connections, nothing. (I'm 23 btw). And it's absolutely heaven on Earth!

There is sooooo much more to Albuquerque than City Hall and Old Town. This is but a tiny sliver of the City.
The city is named after , WHITE CORK TREES , in Spain , or White Oaks .
I want to work and retire in Albuquerque. Thank you.
Did you ever retire if so 🤔 what you think of it

If I ever visit get to visit ABQ, you better believe I'm trying Church Street Cafe omg
I live here and yes you should!
Wow 😳
Visit the Unser Racing Museum .
Great video!
Great video.
I was born & raised in the Duke City! I love my city!

ABQ questa singla ce già, viene chiamata la città da gli stessi cittadini di Albuquerque
awesome
Albuquerque reminds me of Tucson. They are very similar.
Often thought the same thing.

Not true, it was 6% last week!

Probably a weekday afternoon in October.
Albuquerque is great. Born and raised. Crime is no joke tho. We are up there with New Orleans and Baltimore with half the population
Home.
How pretty and interesting.
Not a lot of people out.
Melissa never a lot of people out in Albuquerque

Damn that was only old town
The duke of Albuquerque..founded!
So..pretty much Downtown and Old town...eh??
A lot of places have "old towns" (San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson, etc) but this one seems pretty sizeable!
I mean the Restaurant alone probably has it's own Zip Code...LOL!
New Spain and Mexico were part of Spain. Fun fact. Montana was part of the Spanish empire. It is Spanish for mountain.
The old town is nice
Dude I really wish this gave abq justice there's more to my city than old town... I mean nob hill, uptown, sandia crest, jemez... Ah :/
It looked like green Chile sauce, not salsa. I could be wrong
You're very talented.
I have no idea how you edited all the crime, homeless, trash, graffiti, meth heads talking to themselves, and pan handlers.
Great job .
Let me mention what else he left out. Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods , massive amounts of humidity, earthquakes, to name a few. The places you live are filled with people oozing water droplets of sweat rolling down their bodies from all the humidity.

Where are all the people? It looks deserted ?

Nah. Brownsville TX is the most affordable city in the US
Nice video. I enjoyed the walk thru. I was last there in 2016. Wished I could live there if it wasn't such a poor state with no jobs.
Looks okay for a few days visit. Otherwise probably sucks on a long term living basis unless you're trying to escape a troubled past.
