New Mexico’s capital and third-largest city, Santa Fe provides the perfect backdrop for retirement community and active adult living. An area rich in art, culture, and history which you’ll no doubt discover just outside of your new retirement community.
Aldea de Santa Fe, on the northwest side of Santa Fe, was designed in part by world renowned architect and planner Andres Duany, one of the founding fathers of the movement know as New Urbanism. Andres was brought on to use neo-traditional planning concepts in creating Aldea de Santa Fe.
The result is one of Santa Fe’s most stunning communities. Aldea sits on about 345 acres, 200 of which will remain open space. Like most communities of this kind, each homeowner has deeded ownership in the open space.
The community offers a “village lifestyle” where you are in close proximity to your neighbors. Meaning, if you are looking for a large lot with tons of privacy, you should probably look elsewhere. Aldea de Santa Fe also has a commercial development called Aldea Plaza where there will be restaurants, coffee shops, and more all within walking distance of the homes in the community.
Home types vary widely, as do the prices. There are townhomes, courtyard homes, as well as single-family homes ranging in price from the $300,000’s to over $1 million.
You’ll also be required to pay dues and be a member of the Aldea de Santa Fe HOA. They take care of managing and maintaining the amenities like private Security Service, maintenance of the private roads, open space, parks, and a community building.
