The 2026 Annual association meeting saw a really good turn out with 14 people even after several last minute cancelations. I’d like to thank the renters who were also able to attend. You too have a stake in the neighborhood and your input is encouraged. We invite renters to all our events and meetings as equal residents with voting rights and participation.
People were really engaged and a lot of interest was shown for continuing events and improvements for our great neighborhood. So watch for the spring newsletter in the next several weeks as all this will be captured in it. We gave away 11 Dion’s gift cards to show our appreciation for all who attended and volunteers recognized.
Please remember it’s that time of year where our yards will need to be compliant with our covenants and city ordinances. Please clean up weeds and grasses greater than 4 inches wide and 4 inches tall. Trim hedges and trees and remove dead branches from any vegetation you may have in your front, side (corner lots) you may have. Dont forget the alley yards! Fire and windy season is upon us so try to help keep fire risk low. To request a referral name of local handymen/lawn specialists that other residents have used, please send a request to ANNA president gmail.
Annual Payments Time Of year!
Although voluntary, these still are only $50 annually. These monies are spent directly on the operations of the association. They are used for the upkeep and maintenance of the stucco wall, trees and hedges along Barstow and common areas inside our borders. Your dollars go a long way in helping keep our house values up and our investments strong. So Please support us in keeping our great neighborhood looking great!

Academy North History
The 143 Town Homes in the Academy North Subdivision were designed by well-known Albuquerque architect Roger Smith, in 1983. Originally a community of rental homes, the houses were offered for sale around 1992. All the homes have an open concept / mid-century feel; some floor plans have enclosed courtyards; all have fireplaces and two car garages. ANNA was instrumental in urging the city to build the Cherry Hills branch of the Albuquerque Public Library.
The general annual meeting is usually held in March and is open to all residents including renters.
