Santa Fe has a long-standing reputation as a great place to visit, to live
and to retire. A diverse economy, moderate climate and great quality of life
make Santa Fe an ideal place to do business, raise children or enjoy the
retirement years in a stimulating cultural environment. With a population of
68,000 the city has hundreds of years of history and small-town charm combined
with the sophistication of a world-class destination.
Santa Fe holds a powerful appeal for those who love arts and
cultural activities, and the area holds equal advantages for those who love
the outdoors, offering anything from beautifully groomed golf courses to a
variety of other sports, including skiing, hiking, white water rafting, and
fly-fishing.
