Jack Foster best-worst

Best kept secrets of Hobbs, NM

Alright, Crime rate is something to consider -Hobbs sits at 673.1 per 100K. Homes are going for about $180,700 on average. Rent is about $1,132/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. Median household income is $65,691, which feels about average for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Easy commute
- Walkable downtown
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Limited dining options
- High property taxes
- Chain restaurants dominate

It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
