Review of Rio Rancho, New Mexico


Love it here
Star Rating - 2/25/2015
Rio Rancho has been great to my family. Cost of living is low, crime is low, good schools, food is great and the weather is unparalleled. If you enjoy the desert landscape, you will love it here. Fantastic view of the Sandias and Albuquerque is an easy commute. We love it.

Hi Kaylee, I'm looking to move to a dry sunny place where "the weather suits my clothes". I'm living in Northern Canada and while the air and water is clean and it is very beautiful, I am having trouble with the ever changing weather. Perhaps you would know of some job opportunities, and if so, could give me some suggestions. I have seen a job posting for University of New Mexico, and I have all of the credentials. The pay scale is not advertised, but according to a website called "Payscale" it is $21,000 to $37,000 which is meaningless to me as the cost of living here is very high, with administrative assistants making about $20,000 more annually! So, I noticed you are able to live with a fairly low cost of living, and thought you would be a good person to ask. To rent and live comfortably (I'm not a consumer), how much would one need, approximately? It's nice to read a positive note on NM. I come from a Northern town in Canada where the indigenous population is greater than the whites, and I have no issue with this at all. I just want heat and sun. Thanks in advance if you answer me!
