About Placitas
Ask three Placitans what they like best about living in Placitas and you may get six different answers. One will say it is being so far from everything, another, being so close to everything — and both will be right.
For some it is the peacefulness, for others the proximity to hiking trails. Most will mention the perfect weather, four distinct seasons without harsh extremes. But almost everyone's answer will include something about the views. Many homes look north toward the hills and mesas, all the way to the Jemez range and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Santa Fe.
Others face the mountain, that smooth yet imposing spine of the Sandias which covers with snow in the winter. Some homes get both views. In another pleasant paradox of Placitas life, these comforting views are always the same, and yet they change constantly thanks to the sun's evolving angles and the seasonal rebirth of high desert flowers and shrubs.
With it's convenient proximity to both the Albuquerque-Rio Rancho metro area and Santa Fe, Placitas is recognized as a unique – and a uniquely situated – bedroom community for these areas. |
Chamber involvement...

Placitas Home Tour
Since 1997, the Placitas Home Tour has enchanted visitors and showcased some of New Mexico's finest builders. As fall blankets the rolling mesas of Placitas and the leaves begin to change, the Placitas Home Tour opens the doors of many custom homes to the public. Builders work all year to prepare their homes for the show and attendees can expect to see some of the most beautiful homes in New Mexico. The Home Tour is typically held the first and second weekends in October. See last year's tour homes and information about the upcoming tour at PlacitasHomeTour.org |
