Want to seem like a local in Santa Fe, TX? Adopt the town's unofficial nickname, "the Fe."
Not to be confused with its namesake in New Mexico, Santa Fe is a Texas town in Galveston County. This town was founded in 1877 when the Santa Fe railway was built through the state. With a population of 12,222 at the time of the 2010 US Census, Santa Fe is a thriving small city with a growing population.
Moving to Santa Fe
Because the weather in Santa Fe is dry and humid, deciding when to move is important. Although hot for nearly the entire year, a reprieve from the heat can be found in the late winter and early spring months. Consequently, many homeowners look to place their houses on the market when the weather turns a little bit cooler, because it attracts more buyers. Be sure to connect with a local real estate agent to assist you in finding the best rental houses and rental apartments in Santa Fe.
Neighborhoods in Santa Fe
Santa Fe offers a great mix of newer homes and historical properties. Land is at a premium in Santa Fe, and many of the properties have three or more acres of fertile green space. Here's a look at the most popular neighborhoods in the town.
Fm 1764 Road: Considered to be the most popular neighborhood in Santa Fe, this community is comprised of mostly single-family homes that have three or more bedrooms. Lots of land and easy access to the downtown area make it a popular residential community.
City Center: Just steps away from great restaurants, bars and entertainment, the City Center neighborhood is ideal for anyone looking at apartments for rent or month to month rentals in Santa Fe.
Living in Santa Fe
Although Texas may seem like an odd place for a winery, Santa Fe is home to the Haak Vineyard and Winery. Perfect for a weekend trip or a nighttime outing, the winery offers tours and tastings throughout the year. If food is your priority, living in Santa Fe will be right up your alley. You can even become a barbecue expert by trying the different variations at restaurants like Texas Star BBQ or Pook's Crawfish Hole.
