Casa Alegre

Traveling west on Agua Fría Street you will find a delightful park known as Frenchie’s Field. Directly across is Casa Alegre. These smaller homes are similar to the Casa Solana neighborhood as they were also developed by Allen Stamm in the 1950s. Some of the great features of this area are the close proximity to shopping, schools, and churches such as St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, and 1301 Osage Avenue.

Kaune Neighborhood

The homes here, accessed from Monterey Drive just off Cerrillos Road, are also of Stamm design with hardwood floors and vigas in an area with parks, schools, and churches. A broader selection of architectural elements are available here from the flat roof styles of California to Spanish pueblo or Territorial. Planned by famed Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem, Kaune Elementary School, 1409 Monterey Drive, serves the families here. The school was named for Alfred Kaune, a past president of the Santa Fe school board.

Tierra Contenta

Tierra Contenta is a mixed-use, mixed-income community designed to provide low and moderate-priced housing for under-served families in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Tierra Contenta Corporation is a 501(c)(3) corporation that provides builder-ready tracts to production homebuilders and finished lots for small builders and non-profit housing providers. Their goal is to provide at least 40% of the homes affordable for those earning less than 80% of the area median income. When complete, Tierra Contenta will have approximately 4000 homes, plus businesses, schools, community services, parks, and abundant open space.

Rancho Viejo

Uniquely designed as a collection of villages, each with its own central gathering plaza and bordering preserved open space, Rancho Viejo creates a sense of living amid nature, complemented by community amenities and homes of exceptional quality.

Nava Ade

Nava Ade is a beautiful, planned development off Rodeo Road.
