I live in Rio Rancho. It is a suburb of Albuquerque, population around 60,000 (I think). Most of Rio Rancho is relatively new, and we have all kinds of shopping, etc. Santa Fe is very expensive.
Do you have art galleries? I am an artist and I love Santa Fe for the galleries. I don't have to spend a penny in those galleries, if they think you might they are real nice to you. I am sure they talk about you when you leave but we talk about them too. LOL
