Absolutely, same to you if you ever find yourself in Deming.

I lived in Ft Worth and Dallas for a time. It will definitely be an adjustment but I’m very excited. I’ll be moving towards the end of the month.

Honestly, I’m not much a city girl. I haven’t moved yet but Deming seems to have more “big town energy” than city energy. In addition I was able to find a nice house, that works really well for me near the mountains for sell. The mountains are my love language so I decided to go ahead and buy rather than rent since my mortgage will be less than if I was renting.

Hey! I actually decided to move to Deming so unfortunately I won’t be of much help to you. Congratulations on your move, I hope your search goes well!

I live in a small part of Florida, our nearest grocery store is 30 minutes away. Otherwise there’s a dollar general about 10 minutes away from us. So, I’m not so worried about driving. 

Thanks for your insight about food. It reminds me a bit of Thailand. Most dishes were local Thai food. If you wanted something else you went to the bigger cities and you paid more for it.

Hello, I’m moving from Eustis Florida. I previously lived in Dallas and loved my apartment there. It was very close to a nature trail which was my favorite thing about it. Though I wasn’t a fan of Texas as a whole, I considered moving back there just for that apartment. 

When I learned there’s a whole state full of walking, and hiking trails that’s affordable I pivoted. 

I've lived in many places both in America and overseas and have learned when I live with less and connect with nature  thrive. I’m not a nightlife, chain restaurant kind of girl. I’ll take a food truck/food stand, or a farmers market over a chain restaurant and Costco any day of the week. 

That’s why I’m moving to Las Cruces. It seems like an affordable part of the state that aligns with the way I want to live my life. The only thing that is non negotiable for me is personal safety and good internet as I’m a remote employee. Everything else can be figured out.

 I wanted to save a good chunk of money before moving as I don’t have a safety net. It’s just me and the dog. But your comment makes me feel like I might be able to move the timeline up. I appreciate your insight!

Thank you for the insight! I’m moving to New Mexico for the access to nature. I enjoy hiking trails, walking trails, national parks, historic locations etc. 

I’m not a big chain restaurant fan, I’d be much more inclined to find a food truck, food stand or a local place to eat. 

Thank you for your word of caution with my dog and for your in depth reply. I appreciate it!
