Cedar Grove, NM

Cedar Grove is a quiet, spread-out community in southern Santa Fe County, tucked into the high-desert juniper hills between Edgewood and Santa Fe. With only a few hundred residents, it offers plenty of elbow room, quiet county roads, and big New Mexico skies. Families are served by the Moriarty-Edgewood school district, and the area is full of custom homes on generous acreage, horse properties, and peaceful mountain views.

Originally an old stagecoach and freight stop, the community has held onto its unhurried, rustic character. Everyday errands, groceries, and dining take residents a few minutes down the road to Edgewood, while Santa Fe and Albuquerque provide easy access to larger employers and cultural spots. Living here gives you dark night skies, room to breathe, and an easygoing rural rhythm with city conveniences just a short drive away.
