Where to Retire magazine has once again selected Las Cruces, New Mexico, to profile as a top place to retire in their November/December 2019 issue. Las Cruces was first recognized as a top retirement destination by the magazine back in April 2009. Where to Retire is the leading publication in America geared to helping people with retirement relocation decisions.

Here's what they said

According to Where to Retire editor, Annette Fuller, Las Cruces, New Mexico has many of the qualities that are important in a top place to retire. “A cultural hub in the Chihuahuan Desert, Las Cruces spices things up with its rich heritage and tasty chiles. The revitalized downtown boasts an art deco theater and a year-round farmers market. Thanks to the Organ Mountains and nearby White Sands National Monument, the city has plenty to do outdoors, and New Mexico State University provides sports and culture. The mayor touted the inclusive residents, calling them ‘friendly, accommodating and gracious.” Fuller said.
