Historic inner-city suburb home to the Railyard Arts District
Set on the west side of the Santa Fe Railroad, Historic Guadalupe is home to the Railyard Arts District, the City Different's newest center for art galleries, quirky restaurants and weekly events. "The city built out the Railyard around 10 years ago, where Santa Fe Depot is," says Jody Lusk, a local Associate Broker with Barker Realty. "Even though it's right by the Plaza and is like it in many ways, it has its own, unique spirit that sets it apart." The Santa Fe Depot was established here in the late 1800s, enabling trains to bring newcomers to the city. By the early 20th-century, many people were attracted to Historic Guadalupe's relatively affordable lots, as well as its hand-built homes with design elements that are unique within Santa Fe. Today, Historic Guadalupe's homes are within the greater Guadalupe Historic District, surrounded by public murals and within walking distance of both the Railyard and Santa Fe Plaza. "It's become such a popular area, and you see people coming here by the Rail Runner all the time," Lusk says.

Galleries and museums at the Railyard
The Railyard Arts District is home to over 15 art galleries and studios, all set within century-old warehouses and converted industrial buildings. Galleries here range from El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe, whose indigenous quilts and Latin American paintings tell the stories of traditional New Mexican culture, to the Art Vault, a hypermodern exhibit and one of the only digital art collections in the country. On Saturday, the Railyard Artisans Market also attracts dozens of artists and craft vendors, including Ruth Meaders, who sells her landscape paintings, and Santa Fe Dog Collars, who make bedazzled puppy attire.

Anarchic cafes, saloon-themed pool halls and more
Some of Santa Fe’s most popular eateries and retailers are scattered between the Railyard Arts District’s galleries. The Santa Fe Cowgirl Hall of Fame, set in an 18th-century Territorial building, offers southwest-style barbecue and billiards games in its saloon-themed pool hall. Cushy leather chairs and timber tables make the cafe CrashMurderBusiness cuter than its name suggests, but drinks like curry-infused Streak of Tigers and glittery Glory of Unicorns capture its whimsical spirit. “I like to tell clients new to the city to go to CrashMurderBusiness because they always come back telling me they had the craziest drink they’ve ever tasted,” says Paige Cochran, a local Associate Broker with Keller Williams Realty. The Santa Fe Farmers’ Market is held at the Railyard every Saturday and Tuesday, and a Whole Foods Market sits just across the street.

Colorful pocket parks and sprawling gardens
Tucked among tall cottonwood trees on the Santa Fe River, Luis Montano Park has benches, walkways and walls that are completely painted over with colorful Mayan patterns and murals, all created by local artist Carlos Cervantez. The nearly 10-mile Santa Fe River Trail also runs through here, its tree-shaded pathway dotted with benches and picnic tables. Farther south at the Railyard, the 15-mile Santa Fe Rail Trail crosses through the 13-acre Santa Fe Railyard Park, home to jungle gyms, lavender and rose gardens and ornamental, dirt-packed labyrinths.

Pueblo Revival and Territorial Revival homes with unique stylings
Along Historic Guadalupe’s narrow streets, homes are packed tightly together, all with views of Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Church's spire. Most properties have small, manicured lots planted with Chinese elms and fruit trees. Homes here were generally owner-built between 1910 and 1945, and many have architectural details that are unique to this community. Pueblo Revival homes are common, and while they feature the flat roofs and exposed wooden vigas typical of the style, they also have curved parapets, red-tile overhangs and colorful stucco exteriors. Most of these Pueblo Revival homes have three bedrooms; those near the Santa Fe River can cost $695,000, while those closer to the neighboring Railyard can cost $820,000. The Territorial Revival homes here often feature stucco exteriors, Classical columns and brick parapets, but many also have low-pitched metal roofs that aren't seen elsewhere in the city. A two-bedroom Territorial Revival home on a modest lot starts at $795,000, while a four-bedroom on a 7,000-square-foot lot can go up to $1.3 million. Detached condos called casitas are also available in Historic Guadalupe, often within gated communities; most have one to two bedrooms and sell between $430,000 to $820,000, depending on proximity to the Railyard.

The Santa Fe Depot and nearby interstate access
Saint Francis Drive, the neighborhood's western boundary, connects with Interstate 25 about 3 miles south. Agua Fria Street, the main local thoroughfare, leads immediately east to Downtown Santa Fe.

Santa Fe Trails buses make stops throughout Historic Guadalupe, and the Santa Fe Depot Rail Runner Station here carries passengers an hour-and-a-half south to Albuquerque. CHRISTUS Saint Vincent Regional Medical Center is around 2 miles south, and the Santa Fe Regional Airport is 11 miles west.

Renovating in the Guadalupe Historic District
Homes in Historic Guadalupe are within the greater Guadalupe Historic District, so local homeowners who want to renovate their properties must first send an application form to the City of Santa Fe Historic Preservation Division. “It can be really tricky because they have so many guidelines,” Lusk explains. “I had one client who added coyote fencing to their home, and they ended up having to stagger it to make it look older. The Preservation Division is becoming easier to work with, though, because new changes are made to their guidelines all the time.”
