The Crossroads Motel, perhaps best known for its appearances in the now-legendary AMC-TV drama “Breaking Bad,” has been listed for sale for $3 million.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the Route 66 motel, located at 1001 E. Central Ave. off Interstate 25, is being listed by Absolute Investment Realty of Albuquerque.
Up until mid-2025, the two-story motel has operated continuously since it was built in 1965, the listing says. The east side of the building caught fire in July, prompting the local owners to reassess after owning and operating the motel for more than 50 years, Barrenechea said.
“Our understanding is the damage was very minor, but when they were fighting the fire, they cut the power,” Barrenechea said. “So that’s when the owners started reevaluating what they wanted to do.”
The family of owners ultimately decided it was time to move on, Barrenechea said. A LinkedIn profile shows that Vicki Madden is the owner of the property.
The Crossroads comes with 31 rooms, a pool, on-site laundry and an owner’s apartment. The Journal noted that the Bernalillo County Assessor’s office has valued the property at $769,440 for the 2025 tax year.
The owners apparently decided that the “Breaking Bad” notoriety — plus appearing in the show’s spinoff, “Better Call Saul” — makes it worth more.
A couple of scenes from the show at the motel have been posted on YouTube:
