Eldorado was once part of the historic Lamy Ranch, and Santa Fe County approved the first residential plat in 1972. Today the Eldorado Community Improvement Association (ECIA) counts about 2,776 parcels across a residential area of roughly 6,000 acres. The community also owns a preserve of more than 4,000 acres, plus greenbelts.
People often call the whole area on both sides of US 285 "Eldorado," but the Eldorado at Santa Fe subdivision itself is surrounded by about 19 separately named subdivisions, including properties along the HWY 285 corridor. Check which one a property belongs to, because covenants and association rules differ.
ECIA maintains a community center, pool, stables, courts and fields, playgrounds, a dog park, the community preserve and about 13 miles of hike-and-bike paths. Looking for more room for horses? Watch our Santa Fe horse property tour.
Eldorado is in the Santa Fe Public Schools district. Confirm the school assignment for a specific address with the district.
