Benefits of Living in New Mexico

New Mexico can feel leaps and bounds away from the familiar streets of New Jersey, but small towns, countless hiking routes, and a love for good food will allow you to feel at home while immersing yourself in a world of wonder and novelty. As you prepare for your move, here are just a few of the features you have to look forward to.

#1

Natural Beauty Is Everywhere

New Mexico is a rock climber’s dream, with more than 4,800 routes in the region. The state is best known for its beautiful rock formations and desert landscapes, such as White Sands National Park, the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, and Carlsbad Caverns National Park. However, New Mexico also boasts 24.6 million acres of forest land. The Santa Fe National Forest, a popular spot for hunters and fishers, and the Gila National Forest, which offers beautiful mountain and waterfall views, deserve a spot on any outdoor enthusiast’s bucket list.

#2

A Land Rich in History and Culture

New Mexico has both heavy Spanish and Native American roots, which has a significant effect on the culture today, from the festivals and events to the food and architecture. The area is still culturally diverse, with approximately 50% of residents identifying as Hispanic or Latino. Residents of New Mexico have a deep reverence for its history, and residents and tourists alike can enjoy many historical attractions, including the pueblos of Chaco Culture National Historical Park and El Santuario de Chimayó near Santa Fe.

#3

The Entrepreneur’s Gold Mine

New Mexico is a land of innovation and opportunity, with several prestigious laboratories and universities in the area upheld for their research. This includes the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which was home to the Manhattan Project, or the lab where the atomic bomb was first developed.

While New Jersey ranks poorly when it comes to its business climate, having ranked last in the nation for the worst business tax climate seven years in a row, New Mexico ranks 22nd. There are also several incentive programs in place for new business owners, including the Job Training Incentive Program and the Local Economic Development Act.

A Pinch of Chili in Everything

With heavy Hispanic roots, the food in New Mexico is almost always made with a spicy touch. While you’re likely used to ethnic food from your time in New Jersey, with several spicy options to choose from, if you like your food on the milder side, make sure to let your waiter know when ordering.

In time, you’ll get used to the most common question asked at almost any diner or restaurant in the state: “Red or green?” In fact, this query is so common it’s been labeled New Mexico’s official state question. This isn’t a question aimed at discovering your favorite color but instead the type of chile you prefer.

Green and red chiles have a way of sneaking their way into almost every type of food, from Mexican classics like enchiladas and pozole or into less-expected dishes, like pizza and cheeseburgers. While it may not ever beat New Jersey pizza in your book, anyone from New Mexico would tell you there’s no better complement to spicy pepperoni than green chilis.

Wile E. Coyote’s Favorite Hide Out

You’re sure to run into New Mexico’s state bird, the roadrunner, especially in the warmer months. A novelty to anyone from the east coast, these birds have two long legs and run faster than any other type of bird that flies at speeds up to 26 mph. However, they don’t trump larger flightless birds like the ostrich.

While your childhood years of watching Looney Toons may have misled you into thinking these birds are fast enough to outrun predators, they’d have no chance in a race against a real coyote. Their fast sprint does give them an edge above their prey, which includes almost anything that creeps or crawls on the ground, including rattlesnakes. They can often be seen pecking, or more accurately bashing, their dinner to death before eating it. If you look out your back window long enough, you’re more likely to see a scene that looks like it came out of National Geographic than an episode of the “Road Runner Show.”

#6

Sunny Days All Year Long

The southwestern region of the United States gets more sun than anywhere else in the country. New Mexico ranks just below Arizona, making it the second sunniest state. Since New Jersey ranks lower on this list, it may be a bit of a nice change to see the sun peaking through your window most days of the year.

Despite so much sun, New Mexico still has all four seasons, with cold winters and very hot summers. New Mexico gets its share of snow, especially in the mountain areas, making it fit for winter activities like snowshoeing, skiing, and snowboarding.
