The communities of Tijeras, Cedar Crest and Sandia Park, along with the South 14 area, and Edgewood together make up what is known as the "East Mountain Area" outside of Albuquerque. Homes in the area range from aged, rustic mountain cabins to elegant executive residences in new, planned developments. Lot sizes vary from an acre to ten or more acres, yet most are within half an hour commute to the Albuquerque airport. Land ranges from steeply sloped areas thick with Ponderosa pines through areas covered in pinon and juniper, to nearly flat meadow. All can often be snow-covered in winter.
History in The East Mountain area outside of Albuquerque dates back to one of the the first known human habitations in the New World, the "Sandia Man Cave" on the slopes of the Sandia Mountains, just below what is a skiers delight, Sandia Crest Ski Area! Many residents love this "green side of the mountain" for its forested slopes, magnificent views, and quiet rural lifestyle. The above population figure is an approximation for Tijeras mailing addresses only. The three communities have a combined population of approximately 12-15000 people.
The area has grown rapidly in recent years, and now offers numerous stores, restaurants, and churches for residents. Locals take advantage of the many opportunities for hiking and horse-back-riding, skiing and snowboarding that are available at their fingertips.
