(25,853 posts)Alas, the realtor I used when I purchased this place has retired, and I really don't know any others. If you look at the Sunday real estate section of the paper you will, understandably, see listings that are invariably above $300k. Which makes sense, but don't think that all of the properties are that expensive.
I live on the south side of Santa Fe, off Airport Road, in the Las Acequias area. Acequias means ditch or canal, and refers to community owned irrigation ditches. I am not certain if there ever were any on this side of town, but they are somewhat common, if slowly disappearing in this part of NM.
I decided to move here after a divorce. I'd been to Santa Fe several times, attending summer programs at St. John's College. I also grew up partially in Tucson, AZ, so I already knew the desert Southwest, although this is not full-on desert.
