Review of Alamogordo, New Mexico


But its a DRY Heat!
Star Rating - 3/19/2006
Alamogordo is a quiet little town located in the south central part of NM. Its home of Holloman AFB and its also an excellent retirement town. If you don't mind temperatures in the upper 90's and in low 100's in June, July and especially August then this town is for you. Winters are mild and Cloudcroft is the nearest winter wonderland when it does snow. (about 30 miles east) El Paso is about 90 miles south and you are near also to the Mexican border. Rainfall is almost non-existent in "them there parts"..but its a Dry Heat! Humidity is virtually not a word here either. Population is around 35,000 and the housing is becoming more expensive since its a very popular little city for people who want to get away from the big city but still want to enjoy the warmth of the S/W. Alamogordo is a quaint little town to rest relax and retire. Snowbirds welcome!!
