Where Single-Family Homes Cluster in Taos

In-town addresses near the Historic Taos Plaza favor classic adobes and updated casitas that trade bigger lots for everyday convenience. On the mesa, especially El Prado and Blueberry Hill, single-family homes are often sited to catch mountain and sunset views, with room for patios, gardens, or a studio/workshop. Ranchos de Taos mixes historic adobe charm with family-friendly streets, while pockets of Cañon, Upper Ranchitos and Weimer lean into private roads, trail access, and privacy. Common specs include ~1,200–2,300 sq ft, 3BD/2BA, radiant heat, kivas, and vigas/latillas; garages vary (1–2-car most common). Pricing generally rises with proximity, the closer you are to the Historic Taos Plaza or the Taos Ski Valley corridor, the more premium the property tends to command.
