A pretty nice, peaceful, rural town. We get a lot of tourist activity, but New Mexican culture is open to people outside of the state (and we're pretty used to it). We have interesting and unique traditions-like Zozobra and Fiesta. In fact, we're only an hour drive from the annual balloon fiesta, the most photographed event on the planet!
Santa Fe is a wonderful and enchanting touristy city! It has everything from historical events, Hispanic and Native American Traditional Artwork, Contemporary Artwork of all medians. If you're looking for an interactive place to visit, Santa Fe is the birth place of the famous Meow Wolf.
Lived in Santa Fe two decades. Housing prices for unique homes are a bargain compared to California which we fled. It's beautiful! 7000 feet high with clean air and gorgeous nature: parks open to all. Friendly people, diversity, lots of dog lovers. Wonderful restaurants and art venues. The air is clean, roads are mostly good with minimal rush hour traffic. The entire state is great for skiing, cycling and hiking. NM has almost no earthquakes, no tornadoes or hurricanes, and fewer fires than many states. But jobs are scarce unless you bring your own business or consult out of state. So great for retirees with own income. It does snow in the winter, sometimes a lot but usually not bad especially compared to the midwest, anywhere north and the east coast.
