Rio en Medio sits along a clear, namesake creek in the foothills northeast of Santa Fe, where trailheads and cottonwoods define everyday scenery. Weekend hikers prize the cascading falls along Rio en Medio Trail 163, while skiers and snowboarders head up the ridge to Ski Santa Fe. Closer to home, picnics and high-country aspen groves await at Hyde Memorial State Park. The community’s mix of adobe homes, small farms, and horse properties offers elbow room and sky-filled nights, with quick access to groceries, galleries, and dining in Tesuque and the Santa Fe County seat.
Culture comes easily here: summer evenings bring arias wafting from the open-air Santa Fe Opera, and afternoons can be spent exploring the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum before dinner downtown. Living in Rio en Medio also means proximity to historic acequias, trail networks, and farmers’ markets that make the area feel both rooted and forward-looking.
Families tap into Santa Fe Public Schools and a roster of specialized options in the area, including the arts-focused New Mexico School for the Arts. Nearby, the sovereign Pueblo of Tesuque anchors cultural events and seasonal festivities.
