October 19, 2008
Retirement New Mexico: A Complete Guide to Retiring in New Mexico Since its original publication in 1990 this handy paperback has been the standard reference for those interested in retiring in New Mexico. Now in its third edition?including the latest census data?it provides a detailed picture of 30 communities statewide. Climate, terrain and altitude; recreational, educational and cultural facilities?all these are addressed. Cost of living factors including housing costs and local tax rates are detailed. Health-care and senior-specific facilities are here with relevant phone numbers and email addresses.
As the number of Baby Boomers reaching a more active retirement age increases, many New Mexico communities are making new efforts to attract the younger generation considering a move to the Land of Enchantment. Thus, golf courses, museums, theaters and shopping opportunities are expanding in both the smaller and larger towns and cities, and they have been included in this indispensable book.
This 2002 edition is simply the best and most complete guide to retiring in New Mexico.
Customer Review: Bringing reality to a dream
Concise and well-organized. This is a good reference for comparing the salient points of different parts of New Mexico. We are currently trying to decide whether northwest or southwest New Mexico will suit us better. The illustrations are breathtaking and the descriptions include practical details on healthcare and other services.
Customer Review: Good for finding ‘out of the way’ spots in New Mexico
While the book devoted a bit more space to the retirement home/assisted care scene than I needed for each locale, it helped me find a number of interesting towns which had not been ‘on the radar’ with other sources. A good companion volume to a more generalized book on New Mexico.
