North Albuquerque Acres is located north of Bear Canyon Arroyo and extends north to the Sandia Reservation boundary and from Sandia Heights west to Interstate 25. In 1891 the United States Congress gave the Elena Gallegos Grant to the heirs of Diego Montoya and Elena Gallegos. The Elena Gallegos Land Grant extends from the Rio Grande to the crest of the Sandia Mountains.

Typical lots in North Albuquerque Acres are 165 feet wide by 264 feet deep to the center line of the road and public easements that are 60 feet wide. Interior lots are .89 acre and corner lots are .73 acre after subtracting out the road and public easements. The original platting ignored natural topography and drainage patterns, leaving some lots with significant drainage issues or located in the 100 year flood zone. Developers have accumulated several contiguous lots and subdivided areas of North Albuquerque Acres into smaller lots and sold to home builders; the most notable are the subdivisions surrounding La Cueva High School.
