Instagrammable Vintage Town Homes in Albuquerque - Villa Serena

There is a beautiful mid-century Spanish influence apartment complex in Four Hills that is a must-see for vintage architecture enthusiasts. Albuquerque’s Villa Serena condominiums were a film location in 1976 for the British science fiction movie starring Bowie (RIP) called The Man Who Fell To Earth. They prove to be just as gorgeous in the modern day.
