Been a Las Cruces resident for 3 years. Here's my honest take:
Pros:
- Friendly community
- Good schools
- Growing economy
Cons:
- Traffic can be bad during rush hour
- Limited nightlife
Overall I'd rate it 8/10. It's not perfect but I really enjoy living here.

Respectfully disagree about the cost of living assessment. In my experience, it's been pretty safe in my area.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

If you can afford it, Northside is the best place to live. Period.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Pine Grove and Highland Park are perfectly safe.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.
