About Placitas
Ask three Placitans what they like best about living in Placitas and
you may get six different answers. One will say it is being so far from
everything, another, being so
close to everything — and both will be right.
For some it is the
peacefulness, for others the proximity to hiking trails. Most will
mention the perfect weather, four distinct seasons without harsh
extremes. But almost everyone's answer will include something about the
views. Many homes look north toward the hills and mesas, all the way to
the Jemez range and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Santa Fe.
Others face the mountain, that smooth yet imposing spine of the Sandias
which covers with snow in the winter. Some homes get both views. In
another pleasant paradox of Placitas life, these comforting views are
always the same, and yet they change constantly thanks to the sun's
evolving angles and the seasonal rebirth of high desert flowers and
shrubs. |
