I’m sure you have seen the countless “best places to live in America” articles on sites like MSN, Money.com, and so on. Occasionally I’ll click and read, but so often those big top ten lists overlook the fantastic, smaller cities and towns that could be the ideal location for any person or family.
If you’re looking for a calm climate, a great small metro area for businesses, access to higher education and quality health care, then maybe Las Cruces is the place for you. Earlier this year, Las Cruces was deemed one of the best places in America to “thrive” by Best Boomer Towns. Based on our employment growth trends in the past 10 years, projected future growth, and activity in critical technologies, Las Cruces has been named one of the best places in the country to do business and nurture a career by the Forbes-Milken Institute, Inc.com, and a variety of magazines. Money Magazine and AARP have also named Las Cruces one of the best places to retire, but why has Las Cruces won all of these awards?
First of all, Las Cruces’s population of about 85,000 residents provides enough of a ‘big city’ feeling to qualify Las Cruces as a metro area. One of the things New Mexico, and Las Cruces, prides itself on is the sense of community and laid-back atmosphere of its residents; no one is too busy or hassled to say ‘hello’ or hold a door open. Being situated against the Organ Mountains in the heart of the Mesilla Valley gives all of us residents a beautiful quality of life.
The art and theater scene in Las Cruces has flourished over the last few years as well. New Mexico State University hosts an enormous Arts and Sciences college, and as a result, there are many ways for the community to get involved in music, theater, and art. Countless art galleries, museums, performing arts theaters, and city events ensure that you and your family will never be bored.
The communities of Old Mesilla and Mesilla Park offer unique shopping and entertainment opportunities while you immerse yourself in the history of the southwest. Over 35 retail stores and the new 10-screen movieplex, the Cineport Ten, make the Mesilla Valley mall the premiere destination for shopping and entertainment in southwestern New Mexico.
Outstanding schools, quality health care, the culture, the physical beauty, the outdoor recreation… The list truly goes on when it comes to unveiling the great attributes of Las Cruces. Please allow me to show you why my team, clients, friends, and more enjoy our great city by clicking here.
