Retirement is the time of life when you get to enjoy the rewards of your years of hard work. You’ve put in the effort, and now it’s time to relax and live out your golden years by taking care of yourself. Choosing a place to retire is an important decision, and retiring in Las Cruces is a great choice.
Located in southern New Mexico, Las Cruces combines the best of small town living with the benefits of urban life.
You’ll find local coffee shops, the largest farmers market in the Southwest, and also a thriving arts scene. New Mexico State University keeps the town young and growing while the nearby village of Mesilla anchors the area in history and culture.
Here are three reasons why Las Cruces is a top spot for retirees all across America:
Perfect weather
Retirees from cold, snowy places are often drawn to Las Cruces because of the abundant beautiful weather we enjoy. You’ll love watching magnificent sunsets out on your patio, exploring downtown shops on a warm day, and golfing under a cloudless sky.
Las Cruces has on average about 294 sunny days a year and rarely receives more than 10 inches of rain a year. This is great news for nature lovers, golfers, and those just looking to escape the cold.
When you do find yourself with a craving for snowy weather, the mountain villages of Cloudcroft and Ruidoso are both less than 2 hours away.
A nature-lover’s oasis
If you’re planning to spend as much time as possible on the golf course during your retirement, Las Cruces has three fantastic options for you.
