I moved several times, LC being most resent and Oct 2018. I like it mostly for it's Hispanic culture. From Michigan originally, and I actually was expecting to feel somewhat out of place here. So wrong. People are more friendly, more ope to speak good things. I am comparing it to MI, OR, CA, FL. It rates #1 for it's people.
Larger than a small town but has the feel, a good feel. It has one Mall and that is enough!

I love Las Cruces because of its community, culture, and creativity. Moving from Texas to New Mexico has allowed me to broaden my knowledge of Spanish speaking cultures and all the beauty that it withholds. Not only this, but there is a strong sense of community. The small city atmosphere allows for a personal connection between everyone who inhabits this town. The community is always so willing to help each other out. Lastly, its creativity is one to be mimicked. Every Saturday there is a local farmer's market downtown. This is a perfect opportunity for everyone to showcase their talents, hobbies, and creative minds. Overall, Las Cruces is a wonderful place to live.
Las Cruces is full of activities in which to participate, hiking is especially a great option! It's a city full of rich history from the historic plaza of Mesilla (right near Las Cruces) to the vibrant culture that lives within downtown.
