We love it here. Four seasons, but winter"lite", and not as hot as some assume because of the altitude. The Northwest section of Albuquerque and the suburb, Rio Rancho has a younger population than the more established sections. Lots of new businesses, thriving area. My wife's whole family just moved here, from SoCal and love it also. Cost of living is less, no crowds, less crime. It's all good.:thumbsup:
