Nestled in the Mesilla Valley with the Organ Mountains as its backdrop, Las Cruces combines rich Southwestern heritage with contemporary living. New Mexico State University is central to the community, contributing to the cultural landscape of New Mexico's second-largest city. The area features hiking trails throughout the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument, community parks, and historic Mesilla Plaza, where traditional luminaria displays illuminate the plaza during holiday celebrations. Housing choices span from newer developments in the east side to traditional adobe homes near downtown. Current rental rates show one-bedroom apartments averaging $980 monthly, reflecting a 4.4% annual increase, while two-bedroom units typically rent for $1,126.
Las Cruces celebrates its chile-growing heritage throughout the year, including the annual New Year's Eve Chile Drop downtown.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
