What are the pros and cons of living in New mexico in general?
Do you know any good places?
Hows the weather?
Im looking for a place thats mostly warm and has nature near it.I also do not wish to live in a big city.
Thank you

Also what about the the weather,natural disasters,things to worry about,the types of animals/creatures/bugs.

I have lived there:

Cons:
1. Housing and cost of living is extremely expensive!
2. Job market is very limited - mostly service related jobs
3. Winters are cold but not really that bad
4. Closest airport of any consequence in Albuquerque. Santa Fe does have an airport and has some commuter type service.

Pros:
1. Beautiful old city (oldest state capitol in the US)
2. Vibrant arts/cultural community
3. Excellent skiing very close (Santa Fe, Taos, etc.)
4. If you are an artist it is an excellent place to work
5. Excellent all around outdoor activities close
6. Has an excellent rail system to and from Albuquerque/Belen/Los Lunas
7. No natural disasters to speak of (Tornadoes, etc.)
8. Has 4 distinct seasons. Summers are not too hot and it is a very dry climate (no humidity)

That just about sums it up.

winters are fairly cold, its in the middle of nowhere, havent been there but ofviously its beautiful

cost of living is high but not in albekurkie
