My decision to move to the Gallup, New Mexico area was made after I drove through it in late 2016. I came back a year later and met with a realtor.
I bought the third home he took me to. I have not regretted the move. The property is 18 miles east of downtown Gallup. Besides the beauty of the area, the food is great!
World Atlas has posted an article on 11 of the most affordable towns to retire in New Mexico. Gallup is one of them.
They begin with:
The arid, high-desert paradise of New Mexico isn't called the Land of Enchantment for nothing. This peaceful southwest state offers scenic views, rich cultural experiences, and incredible food. Every October, it also hosts the International Balloon Fiesta, which attracts nearly 1 million visitors from around the world every year.
New Mexico is certainly an underrated state, especially when it comes to affordability. According to Zillow, the state's average home value is $307,000, making it one of the most affordable states.
The state is also beautiful. Northern New Mexico has green, mountainous terrain that receives heavy snowfall each winter. The southern part of the state, though, is a vast desert, and sees summer temperatures climb into the triple digits. No matter the climate retirees choose, with top towns like Farmington, Gallup, Silver City, and Las Vegas, New Mexico offers many affordable towns worth considering for retirement.
