[quote=Anonymous]Hi, OP! DH and I lived in Santa Fe for 5 years and LOVED it. I 100% urge you to go for it if offered the job. There are some cheaper/ less desire able areas of the city proper. The historic east side, Canyon Road area, Teseque, and many areas in walking distance of the plaza are very expensive. Out along Airport Road is pretty cheap but probably not where you want to live. Instead of living in a cheaper and more dangerous neighborhood, trust me I lived in a ghetto SF neighborhood once, your answer is Eldarado. When I lived in Santa Fe I thought that it was far away, it is not. Seriously, it is 10-15 min drive!
Eldarado has beautiful views and great adobe houses. I love just thinking about all of that sky! I would say that Eldarado is very family centric middle and upper middle class. No poverty, no super rich people. They have a K-8 school, community swim team, sports teams, parks, etc. it would be very nice for your kids. Here is a house under $300K there: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1-Encantado-Loop-Santa-Fe-NM-87508/6851160_zpid/ You can get a mortgage around $1,300 for a three bedroom. You can also rent there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eldorado_at_Santa_Fe,_New_Mexico

If you tell me your budget and if you want to rent or buy I will check back in on this thread and offer suggestions.

Here is a link to the greatschools review of the school in Eldarado http://www.greatschools.org/new-mexico/santa-fe/678-El-Dorado-Community-School/
The only public school in Santa Fe prosper that I am aware of being as good as Eldarado's school is Acequia Madre whose boundaries are some of the highest priced real estate in town.

Here is a link to a local property management rental company. I have not used them, but as I recall they are one of the most popular property management services. http://www.kokoproperty.com/pw_rentals/index/index/page:2/Search.city:Santa%20Fe/sort:rent/direction:asc
