My 3 children and I are considering moving with my mother to NM. I have tried to look up information regarding rental housing, schools, ect... Can you please help me out. Everything I can find is on tourism. We are thinking out lying areas. Cost of electric ect... Please help.

Check out the Moriarty N.M. area its called the East Mountain Area and is in the center of N.M. its a great place with good Schools and wonderful people and lots of Activities in the Summer and Fall and the East Mountain area is close to Albuquerque and Santa Fe. You can explore N.M. from Moriarty and rent or rent to own there and figure out where you want to live. Read the East Mountain Telegraph and the Independent. You dont say if your a Cold Weather Person or a Hot Weather person. If you like Cold weather and Snow the center of N.M. has cold weather but summers rarely get to 100 degrees. Last night it was 49 degrees here in the center of N.M. pintada kid at webtv.net

Right, sierrafoxxtrott is probably just cruising the forum's "official pages."

I've searched:

>>>>> rental housing:

>>>>> schools:
http://www.city-data.com/forum/albuq...ue-w-teen.html

This should get you started. Post questions in those threads since if someone has already answered the question, they are not as likely to answer it again here.

If you can clarify "outlying" I might be able to help you.

I live about 30 min east of ABQ, near where PintadaKid mentioned. But I Don't Capitalize Every Word In My Responses. (That is just so hard for me to read) Oh, wait, forgive me, he doesn't do that - I guess its the runon sentences that make it hard for me to read. Regardless, he is correct - it is a nice area to live.

What with the cost of gas, outlying areas are not so cheap. I'd suggest you focus on ABQ where you can find reasonably priced, reasonably located neighborhoods with decent schools and access to jobs. Another possibility would be LC which is booming.

nor, use all lowercase -- just as BAD. <<<=== note caps for "emphasis"

Line breaks.

Punctuation.

Proper caps and proper lowercase.

................ these are good things.

It gives me time to come up for air.
