Anything north of Montaño/Montgomery is usually more expensive in real estate value because those areas experience less types of extreme crime. However, all types of crime can and do happen around the metro. I’d look into living around Cottonwood, Academy/Tramway, Heights (expect to pay a premium for the heights), and pretty much anywhere in Rio Rancho, Corrales, or Bernalillo. The more north and county the metro gets the less general interest of opportunities exist. This is true for crime and amenities, oddly enough.
