Review of Las Cruces, New Mexico


Nine-year Resident's Opinion
Star Rating - 6/20/2019
We have lived here nine years. The climate is great and many people friendly. The politics seem to be a bit shady and shopping is somewhat limited. If you need more variety you can always hop down to El Paso. Don't expect local news to be the best. Often the newscasters report doesn't match the video they are playing. If you are a person of faith and protestant there is a very limited choice here. We were originally from the midwest and had many choices for worship, but here you only have choices if you are Roman Catholic. There are many choices for eating out though. The Mexican cuisine here is top notch.

What does "shady politics" mean? Because to me and my husband that might mean something completely different to what you regard to be "shady politics".

Politics, IMO, are far too shady across the US. are there any semi-remote places on the outskirts of Las Cruces? Do you find any issue with air quality? Humidity is not an issue, correct? Would you say it’s visually “pretty/pleasant” as a whole? Thanks!
