Neighborhoods - Northeast

Historic East Side/Canyon Road
With some homes dating back centuries, these neighborhoods offer charm, coziness and an unmistakable air of history. Hosting a mix of multi-generational families and newcomers, eastside houses are often hidden behind high walls and flanked by the narrow trenches of the Acequia Madre, bringing to mind Santa Fe's agrarian past. Where some areas are known for their views, the eastside is known for its gardens. Winding its way through the heart of the eastside is Canyon Road, with its galleries, restaurants, and Friday night gallery openings. Further to the east lies Upper Canyon Road, featuring long-established residences, the upper

end of the Santa Fe River, and the Randall Davey Audubon Center, encompassing 135 acres and miles of hiking trails.

Guadalupe Historic District
Bordered on the east by the ancient Santuario de Guadalupe, and on the west by St. Francis Drive, this little neighborhood is a collection of beautifully-renovated adobes and up-and-comers. The lots are small and tidy, and the neighborhood amenities include a short walking distance to nearby shops, restaurants and downtown Santa Fe.

Tesuque
Ten minutes north of Santa Fe, this village is in close proximity to the Opera, Tano Rd., and Las Campanas. Neighboring the Tesuque Pueblo Indians, this area was discovered in the 1920s, and continues to be a mix of old-line families and newcomers who share this natural valley setting. The area is marked by large lots and beautiful homes, many with historic value. Amenities include the Tesuque Village Market and an elementary school.

Northeastside Foothills Communities off Hyde Park Road

There are several scenic neighborhoods that border Hyde Park Road as it ascends to the Santa Fe Ski Basin.  Many of them have sweeping views of the city lights and/or the surrounding mountains. 

Estancia Primera is a development with a community pool, tennis courts and Clubhouse for private parties.  It consists of single family homes, townhomes and condominiums.  With some stamina, town is accessible on foot.

Across Hyde Park from Estancia Primera are the gated townhome communities 800 and 1000 East, built along an arroyo, many with western sunset views.

A little further up the mountain are the upscale communities of Los Cerros Colorados on the south and Sierra del Norte on the North.  Both are newer developments with homeowners' associations to keep covenants in place.  New and resale homes, along with building lots, are available for purchase.  Lots in these communities are at least an acre each, making for a country feel within the city limits.

East of these is the Hyde Park Estates development.  Many of these are older homes, although there are some new homes and some lots available for building.  This is where Ponderosa pines begin, giving an Alpine mountain feel to the land. 

Last, before reaching the Ski Basin is the gated community of Santa Fe Summit with its elegant homes and tall Ponderosa pines.  Some building lots are still available here, as well.
