City - Santa Fe

Founded in 1610, Santa Fe holds the distinction of being the oldest state capital in the United States — a fact that shapes nearly everything about the city, from its adobe architecture to the institutions that anchor daily life. Sitting at nearly 7,000 feet in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, New Mexico's capital carries a character unlike any other city in the Southwest. Government, healthcare, and the arts form the backbone of the local economy, with CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center and Los Alamos National Laboratory drawing a steady professional workforce to the region.

Neighborhoods here range widely in personality. The Historic Plaza and Eastside deliver walkable streets lined with adobe buildings and galleries, while the Railyard District offers a more contemporary edge with loft-style spaces and creative studios nearby. South Capitol keeps residents close to state offices, and the Zia/Cerrillos Road corridor serves everyday errands with ease.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
