Santa Fe #4 Healthiest Hometown 2008
AARP The Magazine notes,
"Santa Fe has been blending Spanish and Native American cultures since
it was founded as a Spanish trading post 400 years ago." The
article focuses on cities which have made robust living, and active
retirement, a priority. "Artists flock to Santa Fe for the kind of light
you get by combining low humidity, clean air, and an elevation of 7,000
feet. Of course, those are some of the same qualities that make Santa Fe
a healthy place in which to live and retire, too. Its rates of diabetes,
hypertension, and high cholesterol are among the lowest in the country.
Known for its outdoor lifestyle and emphasis on healthy eating, Santa Fe
boasts a network of trails that leads into the foothills of the Sangre
de Cristo Mountains." The magazine also states that The City Different
"has the highest U.S. art-per-capita rate - even greater than New York
City's." |

Santa Fe cited as the Southwest's best place to live in 2007
Outside Magazine notes "Each year, more than a million tourists come
to ogle the signature adobe buildings, along with conquistador-era streets,
world-class opera, and the 300 galleries that make the city the third-largest
art market in the U.S." Outside
moved their operations here in 1994. In their recent publication of Best
Towns 2007 they say "the 12,500-foot Sangre de Cristo mountains
east of town offer year-round adventure, from the powder of Santa Fe Ski
Basin to the singletrack of the Winsor Trail, which rises 3,500 feet as
it winds through ten miles of pine-and-aspen forests. Add the whitewater
of the Rio Grande, and four more ski resorts within two hours, and the
300 sunny days a year aren't enough." |
