Review of Santa Fe, New Mexico


Cool place...lack of water, lakes biggest drawback
Star Rating - 2/24/2008
I think Santa Fe is cool b/c of it's uniqueness, climate. Many smaller scenic towns lack diversity or culture, Santa Fe has some of both.

The main drawback for me is lack of lakes and rivers. The dryness can get depressing. I'm looking for a gorgeous vacation area to live in summers/falls, and come to in winters on occasion to ski. I favor Whitefish Montana, Vermont & Bend Oregon b/c of their access to lakes and rivers. But I like Santa Fe's spicey culture!

The main concern with moving to New Mexico is lack of water, due to global warming!
