I've lived in Las Cruces New Mexico for 16 years. The people are very friendly and caring most of the time. It is a very diverse town due to being so close to the mexico border. The sun sets are amazing year round. The summers are very very hot, but winters are very mild ( get for desert "rats"). Only 3 hours from Albuquerque and 45 minutes away from El Paso Texas. Best get away is 2.5 hours away to Ruidoso, this is especially nice in the summers where it is 20 degrees cooler! Las Cruces is a great town for hiking and adventures.
Las Cruces has beautiful views of the Organ Mountains, and breath taking sun sets. The winters are mild and the sun is always shining. We're the perfect little college community. Las Cruces is close enough to big cities that you can make a day trip out of visiting without having to live with the daily traffic!
Las Cruces, New Mexico is a nice desert place to live and interact with all types of people. It is the second largest city of the state with plenty of restaurants and social gatherings. Mountain biking is excellent, especially at Desert Peaks National park. The Rio Grande is a popular area to go picnicking or just fishing along the rapid river. The water source for the Rio Grande comes from Elephant Butte State Part. Downtown mall has been remolded with new constructed roads, shopping stores, restaurants, and social events. Let's not forget every Wednesday and Saturday Farmers Market is full of stands with lots to see and eat. Throughout the year family entertainment is organized in many parts of the region such as the Farm and Ranch Museum and Youngs Park host a number of events and fairs throughout the year. Finally Old Mesilla Village is a beautiful place to visit anytime of the year especially on Sundays and Holidays where it is well organized with vendors and shops.
