When my wife and I retire we are looking to move to a place where hardly no one lives

Moab used to be like that; but the California expats fixed that!

Now the town of Mountainair may have a few spaces available yet...

Not the right size yet?

Then just down the road are...
                          
Estancia  – 23 Miles
Moriarty  – 39 Miles
Belen     – 43 Miles 
Corona    – 49 Miles  (although you just MIGHT want to stay away from HERE!)
Los Lunas – 53 Miles
