The neighborhood of Tijeras is in Tijeras Canyon, with the commuting times to workplaces in the city are small.
 
Tijeras (in Bernalillo County) is located at the intersection of Interstate 40 and NM 337 with the legendary Route 66 running right through it. Tijeras is one of only two incorporated communities in the area typically called the "East Mountains", but it is really only one of many communities along the eastern slopes of the Sandia and Manzano Mountains.
 
The canyon has, for centuries, been a travel route between the Rio Grande Valley and the areas to the east. A settlement has continuously existed at this site since at least the 1850's, however, the Village was not incorporated until 1973. Tijeras is the gateway to the Turquoise Trail and the bustling mountain communities along its path. This neighborhood has plenty of single-family homes available.
 
The major employers in the community are Albuquerque Public Schools and Rio Grande Portland Cement Corporation, with many residents commuting to Albuquerque.
 
Paleo-Indian communities in Tijeras Canyon were established about 900 years ago. Over 60 prehistoric sites have been identified east of the Albuquerque city limit in the canyon. Other occupants of the canyon have included Apache Indians in the 17th and 18th centuries followed by Spanish settlers in land grants designated in 1763 and 1819. Tijeras Homes for Sale.
