What is the Best in American Living™ Awards (BALA)?

The Best in American Living™ Awards (BALA) is the homebuilding industry’s premier design competition, spotlighting projects that set new standards for architecture, interior design, and innovation. Each year, top builders, designers, and developers across North America compete for recognition, showcasing the most forward-thinking and creative homes in the market.

Twilight Homes’ Metropolitan Deluxe received the Silver Award in the category of Best Detached Home (3,501 - 4,500 sq. ft.), Built for Sale, recognizing our dedication to luxury, functionality, and cutting-edge design.

The Award-Winning Metropolitan Deluxe

Located in La Mirada, a new luxury community in Albuquerque, the Metropolitan Deluxe is a groundbreaking home that challenges conventional urban living. This 3,503-square-foot, three-story masterpiece is unlike any other residence in the city.

One of its most innovative features is Albuquerque’s first private residential elevator, offering unparalleled convenience and accessibility. Designed for homeowners who desire spacious, upscale living without compromise, the Metropolitan Deluxe redefines luxury townhome living.

Overcoming Challenges to Bring Innovation to Albuquerque

The journey to creating the Metropolitan Deluxe and the La Mirada community was not without its challenges. The project transformed an abandoned big-box retail site into a vibrant residential neighborhood, requiring innovative construction methods and extensive collaboration with city officials.

One of the biggest hurdles was gaining approval for private residential elevators, a first for Albuquerque. Twilight Homes worked closely with city planners to educate and demonstrate the benefits of this feature, ultimately setting a new precedent for luxury urban living in the region.

A Home Designed for Luxury and Convenience

Unlike many urban townhome projects that focus on compact living, the Metropolitan Deluxe prioritizes spacious design and high-end finishes. Key features include:

Private residential elevator – Ensuring accessibility and ease for all residents
Open-concept layout – Maximizing space and natural light
Private balconies on every level – Providing breathtaking views of the Sandia Mountains
High-end materials – Including quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, and designer fixtures
Energy-efficient construction – Built with sustainability in mind

This home is not just a residence—it’s an urban oasis, allowing homeowners to enjoy the convenience of city living while embracing comfort, style, and nature.

A Testament to Twilight Homes’ Commitment to Excellence

Winning a Best in American Living™ Award is a significant achievement, but for us at Twilight Homes, it represents something more—it validates our mission to build homes that elevate the way people live.

The Metropolitan Deluxe was also a featured home in the 2024 Spring Parade of Homes, attracting over 10,000 visitors and winning the Buyers’ Choice Award. These recognitions reflect the growing demand for homes that offer innovation, functionality, and lasting value.
