This little town....

I have now lived in Alamogordo, NM for 5 years. My husband however has been here for pretty much his entire life. The reasons why we love living here can be summed up into a few words....simple, quiet, sweet, enjoyable. Our family loves to visit the big cities but not to live there. The crime rate is too high in them and they are way to noisy and busy for us. This little town has its restaurants, movie theater, plenty of sports for the kids, good schools, nice people, Wal-Mart :), and some nice places surrounding it. Ruidoso is a beautiful place to go snow skiing! wonderful cabins, and nice eating...1 hour away. Cloudcroft is the same, beautiful scenery in the mountains, nice cabins, all around sweet place to visit...30 min away. Las Cruces has a little more of a party scene for those that like that, more clubs/bars, has a mall, nice food places, and some shopping stores like Old Navy, Hobby Lobby, etc.. 1 hour away. El Paso is 1 1/2 hours away. That's where we got our closest airport. So we got everything we need right here and when we do need the occasional fancy restaurant, airport, clothes stores, we just hop in the car and make a day of it. I recommend Alamogordo for families, retirees, and anyone who likes the more quiet quaint places. Hope you come visit us soon! :)
