A few years back, Las Cruces received nationwide recognition as being "Ranked the Best" small metro area to do business (Forbes/Milken Institute), and the top area in the U.S. to retire (Money Magazine). Since then, it seems the rest of the world slowly discovered what we've already known: Las Cruces is a great place to live and do business, and the rewards of such distinction can already be seen on our landscape. The number of custom homes built in the area continues to soar and the Chamber of Commerce records new businesses almost weekly. New restaurants are popping up all over town and Mesilla Valley Mall is undergoing major renovations. Indeed, change is one thing that stays constant in our part of Southern New Mexico.

Inside Las Cruces Magazine you'll find everything you need to settle into the community, or keep yourself updated on the community you live in. We've included sections on healthcare, area schools, real estate and the economy.

One in 10 women ages 45 to 64 has heart disease and that statistic rises to one in four women after the age of 65, according to Healthy Woman Online, a program provided for women by MountainView Regional Medical Center.
