What are the top 10 fastest growing cities in NM? (Las Cruces: land, rated)

[james57]

where's Alamogordo?? Is this list accurate?

[LRUA]

I'm thinking the same thing....Alamogordo with a population of approx 36,000should be ranked at #7 between Farmington and Clovis

2000 Census Alamogordo 35,582

I bet Alamogordo and the very close areas are around 40K by now....and yes, it should have been included in the list.

It has to be around 40,000 today as look at all the new housing since 2000 they have built across the White Sands mall in the north of the city and all the new housing on South Florida Ave and also out around the Golf Course south of town and you see auto's in the driveways of all these new housing.

Rio Rancho passed Santa Fe for the 3rd largest city in NM and Im sure it wont be too long untill Farmington passes Roswell for spot #5.

I cant believe Las Cruces is at almost 90,000 people,that place is growing fast but it just dosent look like a city of almost 90,000 people.

To me it seems larger than 90,000 as more like 120,000 as the east mesa area alone is larger than Alamogordo which is around 40,000 and Las Cruces proper is much bigger than the east mesa areas.

And...if I could have afforded it, I would have been out in Las Lomas, (which is south of me) with French Brothers!! I love that subdivision, but the total cost would have run around $350-375 by the time I got through with the lot (2 acres)....

The last time i was there i was crusing on Ocotillo drive from South Scenic to South Florida and about half way down south of it i could see some beautiful homes that were reciently built and with the mountains behind them it was very picturesque !!! So is that the Los Lomas homes subdivision??

And I would be pretty happy if Santa Fe would STOP growing.
