Albuquerque Resources

Thinking of retiring to the Southwest?
The New Mexico has moderate weather all year round!

Discover why so many people are relocating to the Greater Albuquerque and Santa Fe areas in New Mexico. It could be the mild weather, spectacular views, rich culture, great outdoor activities, eclectic art scene, the University of New Mexico, and so many other wonderful things that can’t be listed here. But let’s come back to the weather. We have four distinct seasons (a must have for most people retiring from New England, New York or anywhere else on the East Coast!), and while it’s hot in the summer, it cools down at night. The leaves change in the Fall. The flowers bloom in the Spring. The sunsets are amazing during monsoon season. The skies are a crystal clear blue most of the year. We have clean air (3rd cleanest city in the country according to the New York Times). There’s snow on the Sandia Mountains and skiing on the Sandia Crest, and of course in the mountains throughout the state. We have over 300 days of sunshine and very little humidity! Many people from both colder and hotter regions spend a portion of the year in the Albuquerque Area.

So take a trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico and find out why it’s one of the best places to retire! Plus, Santa Fe is just a quick train or car ride away!
