West Mesas

Sagebrush covered mesas fill this area between the Blueberry Hill and the Rio Grande Gorge. The last 20 years have seen significant growth as land closer into town has become increasingly more expensive. Large tracts of undeveloped Taos Pueblo lands occupy much of the surrounding area providing open space near the private land. Highway 64 west from the Old Blinking Light intersection towards the area past the airport has more industrial land than other areas of Taos County, such as gravel pits, lumber mills, and public resources such as the land fill and the airport itself, .

This region covers everything to the west of Blueberry Hill on the south side of US 64, and west of Jose Manuel Road north of highway 64 continuing west to the Rio Grande Gorge, and all areas accessed via Lower Las Colonias Road.

The Taos MLS divides this area into three MLS zones:

AIRPORT N64 (01A)

Sometimes also known as Stagecoach Hills, this area features commercial and industrial activity along highway 64 and residential areas primarily alone Tune Drive and other roads that extend from highway 64 in a northwest direction. Most residential areas here have buried utilities and protective covenants and restrictions that limit lot sizes and prohibit manufactured or mobile homes. The Stagecoach Neighborhood Association places zoning restrictions on much of the property within this zone. This area has a "big sky" feel with impressive vistas of mountains although it is not close to them. This area has seen significant growth in recent years and will likely continue to do so.

This zone encompasses everything north of highway 64 that is accessed via the highway that is west of, but not including Jose Manuel Road, to the Gorge Bridge.

AIRPORT S64 (01B)

This area is the must industrial of the MLS zones as it contains lumber mills, the airport, and the Taos Landfill. A few residential streets, such as Santisteven Road extend to from US 64 toward the southeast. They generally have no covenants and restrictions and are mainly populated with mobile homes.

Everything south of US 64 that is accessed from it west of Lower Las Colonias Road and east of the Gorge falls into this zone.

COLONIAS LOWER (12A)

The Lower Las Colonias zone has the largest population of the West Mesas region. It contains the lower Arroyo Seco stream valley, directly west of Blueberry Hill, which flows seasonally here and highlands to this valley's west. This residential area is quite mixed with houses of all different qualities, styles, and values eclectically scattered through the area. Patches of restricted land such as those along portions of Sugar Lane, Toda Vista Road, and off of Tortuga Road have restrictions and covenants that lead to more uniform building styles.

Everything accessed from Lower Las Colonias road falls into this area and comprises the majority of this zone. It sits entirely south of US 64. A small area of US 64 frontage between Blueberry Hill Road and Lower Las Colonias Road, including Day Lane, also falls into this zone.
