Rental prices are much lower in LC, and a purchase price for a decent home also is far more affordable. Some great deals out there.
Best of luck!
Thanks for the reply! I've actually been amazed at the rental prices I've seen on Las Cruces Craigslist. For what I pay here in LA for a small 1bd apartment-$1150 per month, I can get a nice apartment or even a house for less than $1150!... there are some very good deals out there.
I just moved to Las Cruces a couple of days ago from a smaller town in NM. So far I really like it. I have a one bedroom "duplex" with a small yard that has a five foot rock wall around it. My dog is happy with this. I pay $540 a month but I also have to pay a 23 dollar monthly fee for my dog to live with me. Guess since he sleeps on my bed I get a discount!! I find I really like Cruces. The people are friendly, It is pretty safe to walk my dog...so far no dogs running in the streets like my "old" town. It is clean (no trashy streets) and the town is easy to get around in. I am single and do not go for the "night life" but I have been told there are a few around and they seem to be popular with the friends who told me about them. The State University is a nice campus and they have lots to offer. I have yet to check out the gyms in the area, but heck, I have only been here a couple of days. I think you will like living here. I agree it can get hot and being a white person you have to be careful in the summer.
iam also thinking about moving to lc am wondering about the old car scene there. any car clubs or cruises? i have old cars that are restored and like to drive them to shows and talk to other gear heads. where im from now we have cruises every night all summer long. any info helpful thanks.
Looking for a new place to live, any ideas? I need a better place to live with cheeper housing cost. I worked in Deming, NM in 2005. Loved the area, like being near heaven. The people were great, at least those I met working for Sprint. I moved here this year, August 2012. What a change, people are nasty and mean in this town now. The housing prices are over $100,000 for a home no one has lived in for 3 or so years. Who wants a high cost of housing and then thousands to re-build the run-down houses here. Most of the town is closing down, I've seen 5 business close. The lines at the drug stores are long and 4 to 5 hrs to get prescriptions. Water levels are dropping and most wells need re-drilling.
