Belen, NM Reviews

Overall, Belen is not a terrible place to live, but there needs to be changes. The city needs to expand to allow new businesses to come in and offer more job opportunities for the populace.

Belen is my home town. I have lived here for 16 years and love the friends and community that I have created since childhood. However, it is not a place of much opportunity. This is a very small town without much here so you do have to travel farther distances to do much of anything.

Belen is a nice little town and I do enjoy living here. It just needs some growth with new businesses.

My experience with this town has been overall good because I grew up here it’s all I know and I would say it’s been a great hometown

Belen is a great small city to live in. It’s peaceful to raise your family and it’s a very calm, quiet city.

Belen is a small quiet town were it isn’t hard to run into a familiar friendly face while out and about. While struggling to revitalize the town, many new business and opportunities are starting to take hold

There is such a lack of opportunities and experiences possible in the town due to the lack of business.

Belen is a town where many grow up and decide to start their own families there too. It is very rich in traditions, but has not brought in many new businesses in recent years.

Belen like no other town there is. It is a small community. Everybody knows everyone. The mayor is an actual person not a drone. They seem to care about people.

It's a pretty small town, so most of the people here know each other. It's also very beautiful and for the most part, quiet.

To see it grow belen has not grown at all i have been here for about 10 years and there is still nothing here, also the crime has gotten so much worse you have to be on your toes when it comes to your home, property, vehicle or anything. I live in a apartment complex and have had my vehicle broken into several times and also stolen.

I have lived in Belen, NM most of my life, excluding a handful of years, and have had mostly good experiences. However, there are cons about Belen daily living such as the city of Belen never seems to economically grow, meaning trending food businesses have not proceeded in our small city. The school system isn't the best, I wish my education was more important when I was younger and I wish for a better grade school program for children and adolescents. Some pros are the people, for the most part. With a small city, like Belen, it has a lot of residential support towards local businesses and each other which positively affects the city, as a whole. Although there are some badly maintained areas of Belen, there is potential for natural beauty to exist given the land opportunities.

Belen is a quaint New Mexican town. It's location right next to the interstate makes it easy to travel to other locations. There are several restaurants which offer good cuisine, and there is a lot of open spaces.

However, it definitely isn't a community to be outside after dark in, and the public school in New Mexico in general aren't very good. However, if you love country, warm weather and relatively low-income real estate, it's a solid choice.

Although this town has amazing people and a beautiful scenery, like many other towns,cities, etc they have a huge drug issue here as well as burglary's. I have been here for over a year now and even though I love it here the drugs are taking over badly and the cops do nothing to control it.

I like the Belen is a small community and when you go to the grocery store you can see your friends and family members. However, Belen is lacking restaurants, stores and things to do. We have a closed bowling alley in our area that I think needs to be reopened!

A small town with a lot of character! Wonderful food, with a great view of a New Mexican sky and mesa.

Belen is a small old town. But there is good people in it that have been around for awhile. The community of belen is very careing for their town. Even though we dont expand our town much we still care for our community.

The people are fantastic but the crime rate is out of control. I like that much of the community is involved in agriculture but people living in rural areas should not have to worry about having their car stolen or their house being broken into.

I've lived in Belen all my life. Ive grown to love this place. The people are genuine and down to earth. Although id like to see more entertainment venues built here

The change I would like to see in Belen is I would like a hospital built. They have been talking of building one for years and nothing has happened. Our community will greatly benefit from an increase in options for healthcare and a hospital would be a good start.
