Albuquerque, NM
Great place to live -
1/7/2021I've lived here for 25 years. The city and surrounding areas have much to offer. Hiking trails, fishing, camping, hunting, hot air ballooning, skiing and snowboarding, and off-roading are just some of the outdoor activities available. Several nice casinos are close to the city which also have spas and nice restaurants. If you like Mexican food, you will probably love New Mexican food and our world famous chile. Cost of living is quite reasonable. Two interstate highways intersect near the middle of town and provide easy access to various parts of the metro area. Plenty of apartment complexes and decent neighborhoods. Public schools could be a bit better but they're not horrible. Like anywhere else there is some crime but if you lock your home and car and stay out of rough areas at night you'll be ok. CNM is a good community college, and we have UNM as well which is a well respected college for business, medicine, law, and more. Many employment opportunities (call centers, tech companies, film industry, hospitals, casinos, federal Laboratories, restaurants, and more). I want to live in a few other places since I've spent much of my life here, but to be honest I see myself coming back here to retire (if I ever leave in the first place ha).
