Placitas
Custom homes, desert trails, panoramic views
Placitas sits on the north side of the Sandia Mountains above Bernalillo, a highly sought-after community of custom homes, scenic high-desert lots, hiking trails and panoramic views that reach to Santa Fe on a clear day.
Most homes are on larger lots with wells or community water systems and septic. It is thirty minutes to downtown Albuquerque and forty-five to Santa Fe, which is why so many relocating buyers ask Jenn & Vinay about it first.
