Agua Fria House for Sale

Agua Fria, located 6 miles west of the Santa Fe Plaza in Santa Fe, offers a blend of rural charm and convenient access to central Santa Fe's shopping centers. The neighborhood, established as a farming community in the 18th century, retains its historic character with old acequias, trails, and the San Isidro Historic Church. Housing in Agua Fria includes Pueblo Revival-style homes from the 1970s to ‘90s, featuring stucco exteriors and exposed wooden beams, as well as manufactured homes in the northern and southern outskirts. The Santa Fe River runs through the area, influencing property prices based on proximity to the water. Local attractions include the Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery, the historic Club Alegría music venue, and the popular Plants of the Southwest nursery. For shopping, residents have access to a Target, Albertson’s, and Sam’s Club less than a mile south. Dining options range from New Mexican cuisine at Plaza Cafe Southside to fine dining at La Boca in the Santa Fe Plaza. The neighborhood is also home to the 68-acre Romero Park, which is undergoing renovations to add new amenities. Meow Wolf, an art gallery with neon forest-themed exhibits, is located just south of Agua Fria. The area is safer than the national average, and transportation is facilitated by Agua Fria Street, which connects directly to downtown Santa Fe. However, water sources are limited, and newcomers must apply for water rights through the Agua Fria Community Water System Association.
