Citing our active cultural life, the low cost of living, proximity to a major university, and “unusually beautiful location,” www.topretirements.com has awarded Las Cruces the #15 spot on their annual Most Popular Places to Retire list.

With the gorgeous views of the Organ Mountains, excellent weather year round, and proximity to so many outdoor activities, it is no wonder that Las Cruces is gaining favor with retirees. There is so much to do here, without feeling overcrowded like some of the popular retirement destinations in Arizona or Florida.

The Las Cruces Sun-News covered the website’s new listing here, along with a statement from the city manager.

You can see the full list of www.topretirement.com’s list here. And if you haven’t visited Las Cruces to experience all the great things that keep us consistently at the top of these lists, come visit Picacho Mountain soon so we can show you our unbeatable views and take you for a tour of our neighborhood and city.
