I live a few miles outside Capitan in a beautiful rural area. I joined here only to be able to counter the extremely negative reviews published. Capitan is my market  More

The community is far from friendly and very trashy. Village government is twisted with an even more bizarre police department. Locals remind you "NM is a buyer beware  More

People who've lived in other places frequently comment on Capitan's great weather. Having lived here most of my life, I can't compare Capitan's climate to other places  More
