I was born in the STL area and lived there 49 yrs until I moved to Ala. 12 yrs ago. We drove to Las Vegas NV in 2007 and took I-40. We stopped overnight in Moriarity on the way to LV and then 1 night in ABQ on the way back to Ala. If I wanted to live in NM with no snow, winter temps no lower than 40F, summers any temp where would I live? I'd need a good retail place to start a lady's boutique, doctors that could handle my allergies, asthma, chronic bronchitis when they flare up and 5 yr post cancer follow-ups. I need a safe living area, and a place to rent (house over apt.) to start for me and the fur children. Cheap of course. Is there such a place there?
No place in NM would be completely snow free or has winter lows that stay above 40F, but Las Cruses and Alamogordo are the warmest and should meet your other requirements pretty well.
NM isn't really "cheap" though... depends on what you are used to.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have been researching those areas for a year or so. The warmer the winter the better, and of course little or no snow is the best. We get maybe a few inches of snow every 2 years or so here. 49 years of snow in MO is more than enough to last 100 years.

You're more likely to find your utopia in Phoenix or Tucson, AZ - or any other town/city in southern NV or CA.
The OP said: "...summers any temp where would I live?"
I mentioned So. Cal. but would guess that to be a much more expensive option even though temps are relatively constant year around. There aren't too many places in the USA where it NEVER gets below 40F - and stays livable on the hottest summer days without tons of refrigerated air.
I'll take the easy way out and thank everyone as a group. Summers in STL & ALA are always 90 + so I'm used to it. You do have A/C in NM, right? LOL. I have been following the blizzard in NM for the last few days and I want no part of it. Cali is out of the question since I am 110% GOP/Conservative. I couldn't even begin to think about living in that hell hole let alone be able to afford to pay the taxes there. Thanks again for the replies.
90+ doesn't really prepare you for 110+ (Phoenix or Yuma, etc). Las Cruces isn't that bad.
