Review of New Mexico, New Mexico


retireing to N.M. ?
Star Rating - 5/25/2007
My husband and I are in the process of selling our home in Rhode Island and are looking into moving to New mexico, I have been there 4 to 5 times for the balloon festival and gathering of nations but still am not sure this is the place for us after reading some of the comments. My main concern is housing,rent buy? could someone please list the safe places to look and live in Abg. and give me about what a decent 2 bed appartment will cost?. I know about the weather and dessert heat because I lived in Ca for 21 years. Because of the traffic and cost of living I would not move back there again. Rhode Island is very expensive to live, taxes,housing and heating costs are sky high and would eat up our pensions. Need some advice, thanks

I've been to Rhode Island and New Mexico. Granted that RI isn't great, but NM is far worse. Trust the reviews here, and don't move to NM. Flagstaff, AZ is your next best bet. Do not move to NM.
