We retired here in Deming from southern California 10 years ago and we really enjoy living here. Property is inexpensive, taxes are low, people are friendly, weather is good, air is clean, water is pure. Come visit!

tomcat: Are the summers ferociously hot? I suppose that at least in humidity is low, which makes a lot of difference. The nights are probably much more bearable than they are here in Ft Worth.

Summers in Deming and the surrounding area are pretty hot. Humidity will be lower than Ft. Worth, but will be higher during the monsoon season (if we get lots of rain). Average temperatures in the area for summer are anywhere from 90-105 degrees, and in the 70's at night. Dry heat takes a little getting used to, it's kind of like a blast furnace at first, but Southern New Mexico in general is beautiful and full of nice people!

Still sounds better than winters and summers in Massachusetts!!!

Thanks for the info, lamesa. I much prefer dry heat to humid heat. For one thing, it cools off at night more. Where I am now (Ft Worth, TX), the low temps in summer are sometimes in the low 80s (ugh). As long as it cools off at night, I don't mind a hot day. I've spent a lot of time in Ruidoso and love it up there, but it's a different climate.

Hey People,
This Mainer has had enough of these North Woods winters. I am thinking on
relocating to Silver City outskirts. What kind of prices per acre between Cliff
and Silver City?
