Review of Silver City, New Mexico


Quality of Life in Silver City, NM is Great
Star Rating - 9/23/2006
Hi April, give Silver City 5 stars in so many categories. I had intended to retire there--I have 5 acres just outside the city limits with beautiful views (paved road, too). However, I think I'll go back to my native NY. However, it's a tough call. The low humidity in SC is wonderful for the health. It's a good elevation. The four seasons are all comfortable. Lots to do; also easy to get away. And, you can be in tall pine Ponderosa or desert in 45 minutes or less, depending on which way you go. So you can experience a lot of different kinds of beauty. I highly, highly recommend it. As I said, it's a tough call for me, because I can build a house in SC for retirement, or a vacation home; or go back to NY. Truthfully, SC has NY beat as far as health and cost of living go, in so many ways. Suggestion: go and spend a month there. Warning: you'll fall in love.
