RELOCATION TO SILVER CITY / ALAMORGORDO
-
8/6/2006
I would like more info on the quality of life in Silver City. Air quality, health resources, seniors (where do they go for joint/hip replacement, cancer treatment. Do they have to go to Las Cruces? As a future retirement home this is very important. Crime, is it bad? Also anything else about the area would be appreciated. The real climate etc., as I get different info from one source over another. Is golf, fishing, other things to do good? Are there mostly dirt roads if you live on an acre or more. We lived in Santa Fe in 1985 for one year and stayed in Carlsbad for three months in mid winter. I know this is a tall order but I really am interested in all info & comments good or bad. I have read a lot of forum comments about Alamorgodo (more golf there as we can play on base.) which I first had the most interest in and we are going to look that area over also when we come out in September. What bothered me the most was forum comments on the blowing fine powdery sand. My husband has lung & severe sinus problems. We have been there in 1985 when we in Carlsbad. Also have been to Las Cruces, it's to big for us. We live in Yucca Valley CA at this time and it is a nice small town with similar home prices and quality of life. My husband does not like it here and I am thinking about accomodating him. We have moved around a lot and are for the most part Californians, but the nicer smaller places from no. to so. Cal. We are not big city people, but need basic conveniences. I would appreciate all comments on both places from people who know the area well.. Thank You,
