Santa Fe, NM Real Estate — The City Different

Santa Fe Real Estate — America's City Different

Santa Fe, population 87,505 (2020 Census), is New Mexico's capital and one of the most culturally significant small cities in the United States. Founded in 1610 as the capital of Nuevo México, Santa Fe is the oldest state capital and the oldest European-established community west of the Mississippi River. At 7,199 feet elevation at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Santa Fe is also one of the highest cities in America.

Neighborhoods

The Historic Eastside surrounds the Plaza with traditional adobe homes on narrow streets — some dating to the 18th century. Canyon Road, America's second-largest art market, features galleries in converted historic homes. The Southside offers newer construction and more moderate pricing. Las Campanas is a luxury golf community northwest of the city. The Railyard District has become Santa Fe's contemporary hub with the Farmers' Market, SITE Santa Fe, and Jean Cocteau Cinema (owned by George R.R. Martin).
