Silver City, New Mexico - Retirement Focus - Brief Article

Travel America,  Jan-Feb, 2004  by Pat Woods

If your retirement dream is a small town far from smog and urban sprawl, check out Silver City. Desert terrain, luminous skies, and a blend of Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures in the "Land of Enchantment" have long been a magnet for artists. Located in the southwest corner of New Mexico with a population of just 10,500, Silver City has a rural/small-town feel.

The 6,000-foot elevation will bring some winter snow. Serving as the county seat for Grant County's 31,000 residents, Silver City is 100 miles east of Las Cruces (population 100,000). Get more information by calling (800) 548-9378 or visiting www.silvercity.org.
