The place
South Capitol is the neighborhood south of the state capitol and the Railyard, laid out on a grid with mature trees and sidewalks. It is one of the few parts of Santa Fe that feels like a classic American neighborhood, with homes from the early 1900s onward.
What to love
- Sidewalks, big trees, and a walk to the Railyard and downtown
- Bungalows and Territorial Revival homes on real streets
- Wood Gormley Elementary, one of the city’s most sought-after schools
- A quieter, more year-round neighborhood than the Eastside
- Character
- Neighborly and settled. Dog walkers, strollers, and bicycles. A mix of long-time residents and families who want to be close in without the Eastside price.
- Architecture
- Craftsman bungalows, Territorial Revival homes, and Pueblo-style houses from the 1920s through the 1950s, many updated. Lots are small; gardens are tended.
- What you’ll find
- Single-family homes from 1,200 to 3,000 square feet, a few compounds, and some condos on the edges.
- Lifestyle
- Walk to the Railyard for the Farmers Market and SITE Santa Fe, or to Guadalupe Street for coffee and dinner. The Santa Fe Rail Trail begins nearby.
- Getting around
- South of Paseo de Peralta and the capitol, between Old Santa Fe Trail and the Railyard. Five minutes to the Plaza by car, fifteen on foot.
- Who it suits
- Buyers who want a walkable, established neighborhood with sidewalks and trees, and families who want a strong public elementary school.
