Truth be told I didn't like living there, but I think that's mostly because I was working for a pretty strange startup at the time.

Very expensive for New Mexico, and expensive in general. Getting around can take some getting used to (certain roads predate the US). Wouldn't recommend moving there if you're young as most of the population is of retirement age and most businesses cater to that crowd.

That being said, I enjoy visiting every now and then. There are good restaurants and no shortage of cultural attractions and events. I particularly enjoy visiting for the Farolito Walk.

I would recommend living in Albuquerque and taking the Railrunner or simply driving when the itch to visit strikes.

Not OP but I lived in Santa Fe for a couple weeks. I felt there was some rejuvenating spiritual energy in the air. And love the high desert and open skies. And Meow Wolf. People that moved there enjoyed having Taos nearby.
