Not the Best Place to live 1.5 rating By ChrisA108 ( May 04, 2014) I stayed in this town for only one day and it was NOT GOOD! For 1, its off a major u.s. Highway, that means that anyone can come to your town and commit crime. That explaines the F for crime. 2 They're is no industry and no economy. With that being seid, Jobs Suck and its no ...Read More t enough to start a family. 3 Everything their was dirty and unclean. Think about it, why live here when Albuqerque is right up the highway. If you MUST live here, then get a house because you are less likely to get robbed. Its very simple DONT MOVE HERE. Read Less
