What makes Ruidoso a place people love to live?

Ruidoso, New Mexico is nestled in the Rocky Mountains of southern New Mexico.

Ruidoso is a beautiful place located in the Rocky Mountains of south central New Mexico, on the eastern slopes of the Sacramento Mountains at around 7000 feet above sea level. In the summer it is cool with smells of the pines and winter having a blanket of inviting snow covering Sierra Blanca.
