Santa Fe named 4th Best Place to retire by AARP



It’s no secret that Santa Fe has been one of America’s favorite places to retire. This past week, AARP has stated that Santa Fe is number 4 in the healthiest and nicest small cities to live and retire in. In the year 2000, my wife and I decided leave Los Alamos, a small town north and move to Santa Fe. Back then, I was working full time as the State Parks Director after being the City of Santa Fe’s Parks and Recreation Director and working as a part-time Realtor. It’s was the best of both worlds so now I continue to spend 20 hours a week at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center meeting and greeting the patrons and guests to one outstanding recreational facility. The way I look at it, why quit working when you’re doing something you love doing. Each day I meet more and more folks who have chosen to buy a home and retire in Santa Fe but are actively involved in their passions.

As a live long resident to New Mexico, there are few streets and roads I haven’t been on. It’s common when another agent is looking for a street, area of town, or some historical knowledge about Santa Fe or New Mexico, guess who they call to find out the information. I found this interview interesting and want to share with all of you.
