APARTMENTS IN NORTHEAST ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO
Rooted in the desert. Designed to belong.
Desertscapes Apartments - formerly Canyon Crest - offers studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes with the Sandias on the skyline. Property improvements are underway, with renovated apartment homes coming soon.
THE RENOVATION
See where Desertscapes is headed.
Every building is being repainted with desert-hill murals by a local Albuquerque artist, and the grounds are being replanted from the ground up. Here is the design the work is following.
Concept renderings of work now underway - murals, landscaping and signage shown are design concepts and the finished result may vary. Renovations are phased across the community.
PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS UNDERWAY
A landscape worth naming homes after.
The entire property is being relandscaped with plants native and adapted to Albuquerque - 82 new trees and more than 1,000 desert shrubs, grasses, and perennials, from desert willow and agave to red yucca and ocotillo. New gathering spaces are part of the same work: fire pit patios, a pergola, grilling stations, a dog park, a cornhole court, and bistro-lit walkways. Our floor plans take their names from the plants going into the ground. Improvements are underway - contact our leasing team for current information.
Concept rendering. Exterior murals and planting shown are design concepts for the work now underway - final appearance may vary.

22 planted
Red Yucca
133 planted
Desert Willow
34 planted
Ocotillo

Texas Sotol
31 planted
Apache Plume

New places to gather
The same contract adds a fenced dog park, three fire pit patios, a shaded pergola, grilling stations, a cornhole court, and bistro-lit walkways between the buildings. Work is phased and underway - our leasing team can tell you what is finished today.
Murals by a local hand
The desert-hill murals are being hand-painted at building scale by an Albuquerque artist. The painted landscape carries the same plants going into the ground beneath it - agave, yucca, ocotillo - so the wall and the garden read as one place rather than a decoration applied to a building.
Inside the homes
Renovated apartments receive an in-unit washer and dryer, new appliances, refreshed cabinetry with new doors and drawer fronts, new countertops with undermount sinks and a tile backsplash, new flooring, and fresh paint throughout. Renovations are phased across the community - ask our leasing team which homes are finished today and which include in-home laundry.
