Retire in New Mexico and enjoy life as it was meant to be: active, social, and fun! You’ll love the rich scenery, day after day of sunshine, and so much to do. Spend your golden years appreciating a low cost of living and low tax rates, affordable housing, recreation, and entertainment, and of course, unique history and culture in this Land of Enchantment. And what more can you ask for than convenient health care and amenities and low crime rates?
We have traveled to New Mexico often because my husband was born and raised in Carlsbad. We love his home state. Here are a dozen retirement towns in New Mexico, in no particular order, that I’ve chosen for the small-town feel and big-town amenities like breathtaking scenery, outdoor activities, access to the arts, and diverse eateries.
