Has anyone lived recently in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and if so what is the cost of living like there? |
Travel Info Please give as much info as you can such as cost to rent an apartment, price of gas, weather, car insurance rates, cost of utilities. Travel Tips Depends on where you're from. If you are in a big city, Albuquerque has a low cost of living although gas in running around $3.50 per gallon. Rent can go anywhere from $400+ depending on what you want and what area you want to live. Cost of utilites are reasonable, except water. During long drought periods, you will be forbidden to water your lawn during certain parts of the day. Weather is nice (again, depending on where you currently reside). In the Summer, it is hot and dry in the day time (80-100 degrees), and very cool during the evening (60-70). During the Spring and Fall, the weather is cool. It can range anywhere from 40-70 degrees. Weather is quite unpredictable. During the winter, it snows in the northern part of the state. There are so many ski resorts there. Unlike the east coast, the snow in the Rockes are powdery snow, which is awesome for sking and snowboarding. Because of the dry weather, the snow acts as an insulation, so it doens't get too cold. Sometime during snow season, some people snowboard wearing t-shirts. Weather is dry - does wonders for hair, but terrible on the skin. Everything else, including food, is pretty cheap. Green Chile is the main food product there. New Mexican food is taste better than Mexican food. Believe me, there is a difference. Houses are pretty cheap as well. Source(s): My hometown. Other Travel Tips I don't know; but I once took a wrong turn there... Its about the same as other large cities, except for Santa fe....its expensive as hell there. SinceAlbuquerque is also a college town, prices might, i say might, be a bit lower. If you want to get an idea on prices, go to craigslist.com and check out the going prices for rentals www.craigslist.com |
