Hard to get to, long way from everywhere.
The nearest city of any size is Las Cruces about 90 miles, and El Paso about 130. Albuquerque is a HIKE at almost 200 miles. If you want to live here, you should value isolation. There are lots of things to love about my town; the beautiful pine forests, the true winter weather and mild summers (what a shock for Southern NM), the proximity to great hunting, the reasonable costs...but if you need to be near the big city, forget Cloudcroft.
