The Placitas Lifestyle

Placitas is much quieter than Albuquerque, and much more peaceful too. Many artists live there, and in fact it's only a quick 30 minutes from art galleries in Santa Fe New Mexico.

It's a quick drive into the Sandia Mountains if you like to hike or go for a drive, or if you prefer golf or the spa, Tamaya Resort is located closeby, just over the river on the Santa Ana Pueblo. Twin Warriors golf course has a challenging 18 hole golf course that winds around 20 ancient cultural sites. Tamaya Mist Spa and Salon is there too plus the Corn Maiden restaraunt.

Of course the city of Albuquerque is quick drive too for things you may want to do there.
