Canyon Home for Rent

Canyon, a Historic Eastside neighborhood in Santa Fe, is nestled in the Sangre de Cristo foothills, less than 2 miles from the Santa Fe Plaza. Known for its rich history, Canyon features adobe homes dating back to the 17th century and early 20th-century Santa Fe-style houses. The neighborhood is divided by the Santa Fe River, with the northern half characterized by lush juniper-piñon woodlands and spacious lots, while the southern half has more compact lots with desert grasses. Homes in Canyon often feature exposed wooden beams, flat roofs, and tan or bright stucco exteriors. The area is safer than the national average, making it a practical choice for families. Local highlights include Water History Park, home to the historic 1895 Hydroelectric Power Plant, and small parks like Atalaya Park and Adam Gabriel Armijo Park, which offer playgrounds and picnic areas. The Dale Ball Trail Network, spanning nearly 25 miles, provides extensive hiking opportunities. Nearby, the Randall Davey Audubon Center and Sanctuary attracts over 190 bird species. Canyon Road, in the neighboring Historic Santa Fe, boasts over 80 art galleries, shops, and eateries, including the Teahouse and El Farol. Schools in the area include the highly rated Atalaya Elementary and Santa Fe High. Canyon is conveniently located near major roads, with Cerro Gordo and Upper Canyon roads serving as main thoroughfares, and is less than 6 miles from Interstate 25. The neighborhood's proximity to downtown and natural features makes it a unique blend of culture and nature.
