Truth Or Consequences

For the past 50 years, Truth or Consequences has been one of the American Southwest's best-kept secrets. A small resort town with a year round population of just over 8,000, this little town with a big name was overshadowed by it's big brother, the neighboring city of Las Cruces.

While most towns in northern New Mexico attract tourists to their ski resorts and chic Southwestern-style vacation homes, Truth or Consequences has remained a lesser-known haven for nature lovers and those who want variety in their surroundings with a mild climate. As a result, the town has remained unspoiled and has not seen local development run rampant or real estate prices rise beyond the reach of long time locals. Here the breathtaking sandstone bluffs, nearby state parks and sunny, deep blue skies remain the biggest neighborhood attractions.

Situated on the banks of the Rio Grande in southwest New Mexico, Truth or Consequences has long been a preferred vacation site New Mexico natives. Traditionally, they have come to bathe in the soothing hot springs or partake in the many recreational opportunities at the two large lakes nearby. In the past decade, however, Truth or Consequences has begun to garner more national praise. In fact, the number of retirees relocating here continues to grow. National publications such as Where to Retire have recently named the city one of the top retirement destinations in the United States.
