Neighbourhood
Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our subdivision has a PRIVATE COMMUNITY POOL, TENNIS COURT, CLUBHOUSE with dressing rooms and a RACQUETBALL COURT. IT IS LIKE LIVING AT A RESORT!!! You can walk to the pool through a dry wash, where we often see deer and rabbits.
Our neighborhood is a 15 minute walk through an arroyo to quiet city streets that lead to the historic Santa Fe plaza.
Santa Fe has 80,000 residents but in the summer has a world class opera and world class chamber music. There is free music and dancing 4-6 nights a week on the plaza, as well as at the rail yard where the renowned Farmers Market is located.
Santa Fe also has theatre, ballet, flamenco performances and more. There are numerous state and local museums including the O'Keefe Museum all of which have ongoing programs. Meow Wolf is worth checking out as well!!!
Friday nights many of the 200 art galleries host public openings on Canyon Road and around the Plaza.
The restaurants are fabulous and have food for every taste. Checkout TripAdvisor online.
Hiking is out our door. We are located 5 minutes from mountain hikes in the Sangre de Christo Mountains.
Santa Fe hosts the International Folk Art Market and the Spanish Market in July. The largest Indian Market is held on the Plaza in August.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
See above: The national and state parks in our area are worth visiting. Native Americans inhabited the area before Columbus came to our country. The Santa Fe National Forest is right up the road and Bandelier National Park is only 1 hour away outside of Los Alamos, where the first atomic bomb was developed during WWII. They have 2 museums and wonderful areas to hike.
