Want low-maintenance living without giving up Taos character? Condos (and the rarer townhomes) deliver walkability near the Historic Plaza or quick access up the Taos Ski Valley corridor, trading yardwork for time on the slopes, trails, and galleries.
Typical size: in-town condos often run ~600–1,200 sq ft; ski-corridor buildings surface larger floor plans with gear-friendly storage.
Beds/Baths mix: 2BR/1–2BA is most common; 1BR and 3BR appear depending on building; studios are occasional.
Townhomes: available in select pockets but less common than condos; usually 2–3BR, often with a garage or carport.
HOA expectations: dues vary by building and elevation; ski-area properties typically include snow/exterior maintenance and shared amenities, while in-town complexes focus on exterior/grounds.
Parking: ranges from off-street or carport in town to garage spaces in townhome communities or select resort projects.

In-Town Taos
Expect efficient 1–2BR condos and attached homes close to cafes, galleries, and services. Floor plans commonly fall ~600–1,200 sq ft with practical parking (off-street or carport). Styles range from adobe-inspired to contemporary across complexes like La Buena Vida, Casa Encantada, Chamisa, Los Pueblos, Puertas Pintadas, La Vida Feliz, and Lofts Southwest, each with its own approach to finishes and HOA coverage.
Ski Corridor toward Taos Ski Valley
You’ll see larger resort-style condos and a handful of true townhomes, including 2–3BR layouts designed for alpine access. Projects such as Snakedance, St. Moritz, Wheeler Peak, Kandahar, Powderhorn, and Twining emphasize proximity to lifts/shuttles, on-site storage, and snow management, HOA dues typically reflect elevation and amenities.
County Pockets (El Prado, Colonias Upper/Lower, Blueberry Hill, etc.)
Outside the core and ski base, attached options appear in smaller clusters—often quiet settings with easy driving access to town. Examples include Quail Ridge (Condos/Casas), Deseo, Inn at Taos Valley, Villas de Sueños, and Predock Condominiums. Expect a mix of carports, garages (more common with townhomes), patios, and views depending on siting.

Market Insight
Condos lead supply county-wide; townhomes are comparatively limited, so they tend to move fast when well-located or garage-equipped.
In-town developments emphasize walkability and convenience in smaller footprints; ski-corridor buildings lean larger with amenity-forward ownership and snow/exterior services built into the dues.
HOA scope and rules (what’s covered, pet/rental policies, STR allowances) are the key decision points, two similarly priced units can feel very different once monthly obligations and flexibility are factored in.
