Passingthru, I wish I knew something about Alamo High School but I don't, being divorced, 65 and a newcomer to Alamogordo (arrived last September). If the school does have a bad reputation among Air Force families, we've got to fix it as our community needs you and wants you to want to come here, stay here, and retire here. We are about to rebuild the Holloman elementary school -- and the city has partnered to build a family fun center and bowling alley complex which will open soon, so we are trying!
I bought my home in the northeast part of town -- near NSMU/Alamogordo -- for a fraction of what I would have had to pay back home in Oregon, and there were several to choose from in my bracket, under $140K. I was a little nervous about the housing surplus, but I have to say that several homes on the market in my neighborhood just last fall have sold, and much of the area is tightening up, which is a good thing.
I may just pass your comments on to both my city commissioner and the school board. They simply have to know Air Force families are asking these questions and having these concerns.
Bill, not to be nosy but what does a mortgage run with interest, taxes, etc. in the price range? Ball park.
