Named for a former train station on the Santa Fe Railroad, Eldorado's attractive physical setting, large areas of protected open space, protective covenants, reasonable prices and convenience to Santa Fe have made it a popular place to live in the Santa Fe area.  With a population of close to 6000, Eldorado’s population density is low, with just 280 people per square mile.

Originally platted for 2700 lots, much of Eldorado has been built out and today only a few vacant lots remain.  The homes that have been built range in size and price but all enjoy unparalleled views and fantastic sunsets, as well as all the commercial and civic amenities that Eldorado has to offer.

Eldorado holds the interesting distinction of being one of the largest solar communities in the United States, with one of the highest distributions of passive solar homes in New Mexico.  Eldorado is a progressive community as well as an active one, with a number of area associations that sponsor events and services, including a well-established homeowners association that focuses on issues affecting the community as a whole.  Visit Eldorado in your search for a house – you may find a home and a community just waiting for you!
