8 Best Small Towns to Retire in New Mexico in 2024

If you plan to retire in Roswell, then you are in for the best retirement anyone could ask for. Healthcare becomes the least of your worries as facilities such as Lovelace Regional Hospital and Eastern New Mexico Medical Center are around the corner.

Roswell is also a pretty interesting spot due to the supposed crash of a UFO in 1947. It was referred to as the “Roswell Incident” and brought wave after wave of controversy internationally. After that incident, the town bought into its extraterrestrial reputation and erected lots of UFO landmarks and museums. If you are interested in aliens and extraterrestrial objects, Roswell will sweep you off your feet. You can visit the Roswell UFO Spacewalk, Alien Zone Area 51, and the International UFO Museum & Research Center. Getting a home here is below the average cost in the United States as its median home value costs around $277K.
