Casa Alegre

Traveling west on Agua Fría Street you will find a delightful park known as Frenchie’s Field. Directly across is Casa Alegre.

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.
