Already a resident?
Connect with your neighbors on the Resident Portal!
Here, you will make new friends with other seniors in your new retirement home. The community will become your neighborhood – with dining, entertainment, fitness programs and social interaction.
With your needs taken care of, you’ll find lots of free time to enjoy your new community. Relax poolside or take an aquatics class. Participate in community events and activities. Or have lunch at the community bistro with friends!
Come experience a community loaded with amenities just steps away from your new home. Take your fury friend to the dog park. Enjoy the art gallery or gardening area. And you won’t have to drive anywhere to visit the beauty or barber shop or fitness center!
Do you or your loved one need a little extra care? Our community offers assisted living or nursing care services in a warm and caring environment surrounded by friends!
The Neighborhood is a Life Plan Community designed to offer more than one level of care on a single campus near Albuquerque. Active, independent living for those who want a sense of community and connection with neighbors in a maintenance-free retirement lifestyle, and Supportive Care – for those who need assistance with activities of daily living in a nursing home environment, with Assisted Living, Alzheimer’s support and more.
Listen to residents as they explain how a life plan retirement community can be an ideal option for seniors looking for a comfortable and secure living environment. Life plan communities are designed to provide a continuum of care, meaning that residents can transition from independent living to assisted living or nursing care if needed. This provides seniors with peace of mind, knowing that their changing healthcare needs can be met without having to leave their familiar community.
With a variety of living options, services, and amenities available, The Neighborhood can be the answer for seniors looking for a comfortable, secure, and fulfilling retirement living experience.
There is one Art Gallery at The Neighborhood. Occasionally, they proudly feature the artwork created by senior residents.
Several residents have four legged family members and The Neighborhood made sure to include a Dog Park when it was built. There are plenty of sunny New Mexico days for canine frolicking at the dog park.
Each October, one of New Mexico’s most popular events takes to the skies – Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. The parent organization, Haverland Carter LifeStyle Group, is a proud sponsor and residents enjoy breakfast and balloons at their own corporate tent, located right next to the field.
Holidays and meals are shared with the new friends you make, creating new memories and new holiday traditions. In a retirement community where new friendships are made every day, sharing different holiday occasions together means so much to many of The Neighborhood’s senior residents.
Supportive Care is available should a resident ever require a higher level of care. Spacious, private studio apartments, delicious food, meaningful activities, and supportive, professional nursing home care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All levels of care are provided – Assisted Living, Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care, Nursing Care, Rehabilitation and Skilled Care.
With our retirement life plan, you will always have access to the care you need. Aging in place is an important part of our adult community, which means you will never have to move as you age.
Growing older brings countless opportunities to embrace friendships, family ties, and new connections that make every day brighter. Whether you’re living it up in independent senior apartments, or thriving in a Life Plan Community, there’s always room to build relationships that fill your days with laughter and companionship. Here’s how to stay connected and find…

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Stephanie Licari 🌟
If you’ve ever dined in Ponderosa, chances are you’ve been greeted with a smile by Stephanie Licari—one of our longtime servers and a true gem of our community! 💛
Stephanie has a special way of making each day a little brighter. She loves celebrating National Days and shares the joy with all of us! Just this Thursday, for National Paperclip Day, she handed out paperclips to everyone who crossed her path—because who doesn’t need a little extra organization and a smile?
From thoughtful tokens to fun items, many of us have our own little collections thanks to Stephanie’s fun spirit and kind heart. Check out picture number 2 featuring our Activity Director Valerie’s personal special collection from Stephanie!
Thank you, Stephanie, for spreading joy in the most unexpected (and delightful!) ways.

🎼 A Truly Magical Monday! 🎹🎶
On Monday, May 5th, we had the pleasure of hosting something entirely new — a live opera performance right here in our community! 🌟
Soprano Joanna Armstrong and pianist Paul Roth gave us a stunning performance that left the room in awe. It was our first time welcoming an opera singer, and what a debut it was — truly magnificent.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable afternoon of music, elegance, and inspiration. Here's to many more cultural moments to come! 🎤🎵
