Albuquerque: A City That Just Keeps Going... and Going... and Going... (Not Really)
Let's get one thing straight: Albuquerque is not the size of Texas. Despite what your cousin who once saw a hot air balloon there might tell you, it's a city, not a sprawling, endless desert. That said, it's definitely got some space to it.
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
Fun Fact: If you laid out all the breakfast burritos consumed in Albuquerque in a straight line, they would probably stretch from one end of the city to the other. Maybe. We haven't actually done the math on that one.
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
How Big is Big?
Albuquerque covers about 189.5 square miles, which, let's be honest, is a decent chunk of land. It's big enough to have its own microclimate, which means you can experience all four seasons in a single day. If you're into unpredictable weather, Albuquerque is your place.
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.

To put things into perspective, it's about the size of three and a half Manhattans. Or, if you prefer, it's roughly equivalent to 120,000 football fields. But who's counting, right?
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
The Great Albuquerque Land Grab
Now, if you're thinking about buying a plot of land in Albuquerque and becoming a modern-day land baron, we've got some news for you: good luck with that. While there might be some slightly less desirable areas on the outskirts, most of the land is already spoken for. Unless you're into sharing your backyard with a cactus or two, you might want to reconsider.
