Placitas, NM is a truly enchanting community, with incredible views of some of the spectacular scenery that enables New Mexico to be truthfully termed the "Land Of Enchantment."

Placitas is a picturesque village of some 4000 residents, located in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Founded in the 1700's, Placitas was originally a large tract of land divided among 21 families, some of whose descendants still reside in the area. Many more New Mexicans have recently opted for the beauty, peace, and open space of the Placitas lifestyle, and Placitas today is one of the trendiest areas around Albuquerque.
