Description

The presence of the University Hospital complex to the south is evident here, with a multitude of laboratories, pharmacies, and smaller medical office complexes dotting the area. The neighborhood is rather busy, filled with shops, restaurants, and bars aimed to attract hospital personnel, students, and various business types. Police patrols frequently drive by, making this area's safety a priority.

The setting here is an urban mixture of businesses and residences, with small homes and duplexes giving way to larger apartment buildings. Students from the UNM medical school tend to congregate in this area, making for a slightly less boisterous college crowd. The trees lining the sidewalk here are thick, creating shade during the day and casting eerie shadows at night. To the north, along Menaul Blvd., the neighborhood turns slightly less savory.
