A quiet, secluded neighborhood in the Historic Eastside

San Acacio is on Santa Fe's Historic Eastside. "Those seeking a quieter, slower pace of life may decide to call San Acacio home," says Nichole Aragon, an associate broker with Simply Real Estate. Relative seclusion and more open space are benefits in the quiet, somewhat rural neighborhood, yet the area is close to Downtown Santa Fe. The Plaza de Santa Fe, a historical landmark and shopping district, is roughly 2 miles away. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are east of Santa Fe, and the Jemez Mountains are to the west.

Mandatory use of Santa Fe-style architecture

Camino San Acacio is one of the longer roads that cross the neighborhood, with shorter streets branching off to set-back home sites. Many of the roads are dirt or gravel, and property lots may have fencing, walls or tree cover, adding to privacy.

San Acacio is part of the Historic Eastside of the city, which has been under a zoning ordinance since 1957, which mandates that Santa Fe-style architecture be used. Included are elements of the Pueblo style, which has exteriors with an adobe look; and the Territorial style, which has smooth stucco, straight lines, columns, pillars and decorative moldings. "Homes have earthy color palettes and may offer courtyards or walled patios," Aragon says. "Built-ins, niches and exposed beams are some of the interior touches." Few homes may be on the market at a time, but over a year, as of April 2025, they typically started in the $600,000s, but most were $1 million to $2.8 million. There's a limited number of condominiums, generally over $1 million.

The CAP Index Crime Score in San Acacio is 1 out of 10; lower when compared to the national average of 4.
