Welcome to Taos Haus
A house of your own is rare in any rental market, and in Taos it is nearly unheard of. Twenty-four of the 30 homes at Taos Haus are detached single-family houses, no shared walls and nobody above you, joined by six rehabilitated homes. All of them rent below market through the tax-credit program, built green in 2013 to the LEED for Homes Platinum standard. Housing Choice Vouchers are welcome.

Green-built from the ground up
Taos Haus · LEED for Homes Platinum
Platinum is the highest level the U.S. Green Building Council awards a home. At 7,000 feet, where winter is real, that means tight construction, serious insulation, and lower heating bills.
In the high desert, every drop counts. Rain that falls on the community is captured and put to work in the landscape instead of running off.
The parking areas let rain and snowmelt soak into the ground where they fall, recharging the soil and protecting the neighborhood from runoff.
Alongside the 24 new houses, six existing homes were fully rehabilitated. Renewing a building that already exists saves the materials, energy, and land a new one would take.
Green building runs across the whole family: our sister communities in New Mexico hold certifications from Enterprise Green Communities to LEED Platinum.
A look around
The neighborhood
Taos Haus sits on the south side of Taos, minutes from Smith's and Albertsons, Holy Cross Medical Center, the schools, and the galleries around the plaza, with the mountains rising right behind the community.
Good to know
Yes. Twenty-four of the 30 homes are detached single-family houses: your own walls, your own front door, and no neighbors on the other side of the wall. The other six are rehabilitated homes with the same below-market rents. Very few rental communities anywhere can say that, and in Taos it is nearly unheard of.
Everyone is welcome to apply. Taos Haus is an affordable community, so eligibility comes down to household income and size, nothing else. One quick call to the office is usually enough to know where your household stands.
Household income must fall below limits that HUD sets each year for Taos County. The limits scale with household size and change annually, so the surest way to know is to call with a rough idea of your monthly income. In a town where housing costs have climbed the way they have here, many working households are surprised to learn they qualify.
