New Mexico Retirement Communities


There are many mobile home parks throughout the southwest but not many large active adult communities. The most popular areas for Southwest retirement communities in New Mexico are around Albuquerque with its excellent health systems and the University of New Mexico, in the cultural Santa Fe area, Las Cruces, Los Alamos, Alamogordo, and Silver City with its Western New Mexico University. The relaxed pace, beautiful desert and mountain scenery, clean air, college towns providing mental stimulation and much more are all good for seniors.
