@littleprinceshairbow -- it is a bit expensive living here... 2 buck chuck cost 3 bucks in Santa Fe but, it's really beautiful. And you can see it snows here. There are a lot of interesting places to live, lots of fun little towns (Madrid, Nambe, and of course good ol' Santa Fe). Guess you will just have to come and see what place is best for you! Best of luck...

nowhere on earth is like beautiful santa fe,it's special,and yes there is snow quite often there and here in albuquerque,we used to get a ton but wev'e been in a draught,so a gentle snow or a biggie is good whatever nature provides,and green all summer,with dry hot days and cool nights,only a king can live here,it's expencive,but the people don't mind,because they are enchanted.......

I agree with your assessment, though I would gently like to point out that rich and poor live everywhere-- when I lived in Santa Fe there were so many free things to do I barely spent any money to make myself happy (unlike many other places I've lived). Prosperity thoughts to all!

[pikakatia]

It's impossible to describe how enchanting,special and beautiful is Santa Fe New Mexico. Been there for some time with beautiful Pam, best artist in town. Have lots of money cause you'll find incredible and unique things to buy. Love this city for ever and ever and the nice people I met there. Big kiss to the Plaza and The Ore House, my favorite place. I'll always remember.

I've lived in Santa Fe my whole life and we're just coming out of a drought. I know back in 04-05 there were huge snow storms. We got 4 feet in one night. Santa Fe's great though, since we get a lot of diverse weather and people, not to mention the food here is the best I've ever had.

[jenoise]

I couldn't agree more! Thanks for your comment.

[Hiruvalye]

i live in corrales nm and theres snow outside right now new mexico is a great place bothe desert forest and beutiful mountains. taos is the best though

[camreeno360]

When does that happen, once every million years? wow.

[jenoise]

Seems the last big snow Santa Fe had was about 30 years ago. I know for some folks, it's old hat but here it was a big deal.

[ilargitxo2]

But is Santa Fe nice? because I' mfrom Europe, Spain and when I think in Santa Fe New Mexico I imagine a very dry place with not many things to do and not very cosmopolitan, this is true? What there is in Santa fe? I mean is it big? There are restaurants, cinemas etc etc? or you have to go to another town?

[jenoise]

Yes, Santa Fe, New Mexico is a very nice place. Santa Fe has great restaurants, art galleries, cinemas, natural beauty, friendly people, the capital of NM, world renowned opera. It's a small town with a diverse group of people. It is a desert that is 6996 feet in elevation, with blue sunny skies most of the year. This city embraces its Native American / Anglo / Hispanic culture. Thanks for all your questions!

[ilargitxo2]

oks , but is it dry? or it is green?

[jenoise]

It's both. It's dry AND it's green (spring - fall). Drink lots of water!

[ilargitxo2]

oks. But I was watching santa fe by google earth and it looks really yellow! :) and very dry. Do you have public swimingpools there?

[jenoise]

I can tell you, it's not yellow here. There are lots of adobe type buildings here which lends itself more to brown but what you should really do is look st web sites dedicated to Santa Fe information. A picture speaks volume. And yes, there are public swimming pools.

[ttomconosur]

It is green. The juniper and pines keep the landscape green. The mountain snows provide some water. The light, the air, the mountains all make it a surreal place of beauty.

[upnadam2create]

Beautiful, I used to live there. I miss it. I haunts me in ways you can't imagine.

[Suzanne42]

You wouldn't think it was so great if you were in the midwest. It stays on the ground, along with ice, for weeks at a time. Ackkkkk!!

[jenoise]

That might be true and so that makes me happy right where I am. Water is such a precious thing here in the desert so this and any other precipitation is much appreciated. Thanks for your comment.

[jenoise]

Advice? Well, I guess that all depends on what you are looking for. It's a lovely town with lots of interesting people. It's got a cosmopolitan feel with small town appeal.

[birdofprey123]

looks beautiful. i may be relocating to SF from Austin very soon. any advice?
