Albuquerque

Albuquerque, NM, is a unique town. With plenty of sunshine, nature, and exciting activities to go around, its residents can't imagine living anywhere that's not here. But its reasonable cost of living is definitely one of its major draws. Housing and groceries are more affordable here than in other New Mexico towns. Another perk of living in Albuquerque is that this city has all four seasons: you can differentiate between summer, fall, winter, and spring. That means you'll have different things to do depending on the time of year. Plus, its landscape is pretty hard to beat. Mountains, rivers, and unforgettable sunsets are commonplace here. For those who like being outdoors, there are plenty of parks to go hiking or simply enjoy the fresh air. The city is also rich in Native American culture. You'll learn all about it in its museums and events devoted to the subject. You can't miss the International Balloon Fiesta! During this festival, colorful hot air balloons cover the sky. Old Town is ideal for history buffs. You'll walk down streets that look exactly as they did hundreds of years ago. There are also great neighborhoods, each with its own idiosyncrasy to fit your needs. And let's not forget the food! Every meal here is more delicious than the next.
