In this range, you’ll commonly see updated single-family homes, new construction, and renovated adobes in El Prado and Blueberry Hill, along with well-appointed homes in Weimer, Cañon, and Upper Ranchitos. You might also find casitas with character closer to the Historic Taos Plaza for walkability. Expect Earthships with enhanced finishes and efficiency, plus larger condos and townhomes that trade yardwork for convenience. For a mountain vibe, Arroyo Seco and the corridors toward Taos Ski Valley often surface townhomes or cabins in this price range. Each area brings a different feel, wide-open mesa views in El Prado/Blueberry Hill, tucked-away privacy in Weimer, and in-town access near the plaza—so it pays to compare.
