Best kept secrets of Farmington, NM

Alright, I'm a teacher here and The unemployment rate is 3.2%, which is pretty low. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Has anyone dealt with this? Appreciate any input.

My experience has been mostly positive. I'm still on the fence after all this time. The only thing I'd watch out for is traffic. Other than that, Happy to answer more specific questions..

I've lived in Uptown for about 2 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Four distinct seasons
- The nightlife scene is underrated

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited shopping options

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Weather-wise, the summers are decent and winters are established. You get used to it after the first year.
