Downtown Santa Fe suburb near the Railyard Arts District
On the northern banks of the Santa Fe River, West Guadalupe Historic forms the quieter, more suburban half of the Guadalupe Historic District. Originally a farming community in the 1700s, the Guadalupe Historic District saw a development boom in the late 19th century after the introduction of the Santa Fe Depot, just south of the river. Many of the original homes here were owner-built with unique details that can’t be found elsewhere in Santa Fe, and now, the Santa Fe Depot has transformed into the commercial and gallery hub, the Railyard Arts District. Though its southern neighbor Historic Guadalupe attracts homebuyers with is vibrant art and dining scenes, West Guadalupe Historic offers a more intimate, community feel while remaining close to the neighboring Santa Fe Plaza and the Railyard. “People are really moving here for the walkability, because you get to be near all these exciting places while living in an inviting area,” explains Jody Lusk, a Santa Fe Associate Broker with Barker Realty.
West Guadalupe Historic offers unique living within walking distance of the Plaza and Railyards.
