Hi all,
I have been fascinated by everyone's comments on NM in general. I am a museum professional (single, male, age 41, currently living in Texas) considering relocation to LAS CRUCES for a position opening there. I am wondering what the best/worst aspects of LAS CRUCES are. By "aspects" I mean cultural, economical, apartments, social, entertainment, book stores, live music, nightlife, dating, etc. As I said, ANY aspects (pro OR con) on which anyone might care to opine. Thanks in advance. Can't wait to hear your input! - skyguy |

Steve, I wish I could answer your questions but I have only been there (quite a few times) but I don't live there. I can tell you it is a nice, clean city and if I were to live in the desert south, in a bigger city, I'd pick it. There are locals from there on this forum, so I am sure they will answer you on specifics like bookstores, singles places, apartments and so forth. I think you'll like Las Cruces. Good Luck on your move!

I would take a transfer to Cruces in a heartbeat..
The city is clean and the terrain is very nice, weather is absolutely awesome - they don't have the tornadoes that west TX/eastern NM have, little snow, no humidity and loooong summers! Does summer ever end there??? Most decembers there are still pretty pleasant - though not as hot as Phoenix in general. I can't speak for the bookstores etc, but north of the city are two wonderful lakes, Elephant butte and caballo - where you can jetski and swin pretty much all year round if you wish. East of the city (about an hour) is Alamogordo which has wineries, pistachio groves, good resturants, a military base so I am sure there is some form of nightlife there too- and mountains, skiing, and a terrific hotel and casino (Inn of the Mountain Gods - ruidiso). They have mountains and desert, lakes and snow and the White Sands NM. Quite diverse! All within an easy 1 - 1.5 hr drive which is nothing down in NM!A link to the city (i am sure it will get cut) is las-cruces.org/ (hopefully if I put it that way it won't get cut. ![]() It is becomg a popular city, people are moving there for what is touted as cheap living and good quality of life. Good luck with your decision. NM is a very nice place to live. |

Dooh!!
Nothing eeks by the admin..eh??? I also recommend the Frommer's book on NM to anyone considering a move or vacation to NM. You can look up their website and access some of their info online. Or pick up a copy online for really cheap. It is the one with the white sands and yucca plant on the front cover - not the yellow bound "guide to the southwest".![]() |
