About Santa Clara

Tucked along Highway 180 just seven miles east of Silver City, Santa Clara offers quiet small-town living with easy access to the region’s bigger hubs. As the area’s oldest village, it grew alongside neighboring Fort Bayard, where scenic walking trails and historic grounds still sit right in its backyard. Today, Santa Clara is a peaceful home base in southwestern New Mexico's mining district, ideal for anyone looking for a relaxed, close-knit neighborhood just a short drive from Silver City's shops, restaurants, and medical services.
