Rancho Viejo – The Neighborhoods of Santa Fe, New Mexico
“From out of the clear blue of the western sky…comes Sky King!”
I remember television’s Sky King and his niece, Penny, from my childhood as they would flying their Cessna over vast ranch lands. I still get the same feeling today as I had then when I’d dream about Life in the American West. Rancho Viejo is a neighborhood just 20 minutes from downtown Santa Fe and is developed on 11,000 acres of the former Rancho Viejo Cattle Ranch. Peppered with Juniper and Pinon pines, the subdivision is a collection of villages, each with its own central gathering plaza. 50% of the land is dedicated to natural open space. There’s the Lucky Bean Coffee House in the center and Santa Fe Place (formerly The Villa Linda Mall) is just 5 minutes away featuring Dillard’s, Sears, Gap and Regal Theaters, to name a few. The 13,000 student campus of the Community College is located in Rancho Viejo, as is the Institute of American Indian Arts.
