Historic Neighborhood Maps

Six historic districts in Albuquerque are now mapped with the Historic Overlay Zone – Old Town, Huning Highland, 4th Ward, 8th Street/Forrester, Silver Hill & Nob Hill's Monte Vista & College View neighborhoods. The Historic Overlay Zone, as described in the City of Albuquerque Comprehensive City Zoning Code, “may be used in any area which is suitable for preservation & which has historical, architectural, or cultural significance…,” among other factors.

To ensure that building projects in historic zones are compatible with traditional neighborhood character, in most instances property owners must receive Certificate of Appropriateness from the City before they begin work on many aspects of the outside of the house.
