Marilyn Foss's TOP TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD MOVE TO SANTA FE

1. Our climate: Santa Fe is one of few places in the US that has 4 moderate seasons. We live in a city where you can ski and golf on the same day, sometimes in the winter or early spring. In summertime , our lack of bugs, low humidity, and 80-90 degree daytime temperatures make Santa Fe hard to beat. Summer evenings can even feel "chilly" here in the high desert. After sunset temperatures can cool down 20 degrees! Spring here is colorful and cool, and the changing colors of the aspen trees in fall is a sight to behold!

2. Our cuisine: Our New Mexican cuisine is an amazing fusion of Mexican and Native American. The "chile" here refers to a spicy vegetable that is grown in-state. Some is mild and flavorful, and some lends so much heat to a dish, folks have been known to tear up and perspire profusely! But don't drink water too cool it off…try milk, or a sopapilla with a drizzle of honey. So get ready for our state question: Red or Green?

3. The restaurants: What can we say? World class chefs, original and inspired dishes, and beautiful locations abound. Several restaurants in town feature lengthy tequila and Margarita menus, while others boast the finest wine lists available anywhere in the world.

4. The night sky: Whew! Until you have seen it, you won't believe it. The number one comment that our out-of-guests make is WOW, the stars are amazing. The clear black sky is aglow with constellations that you usually only see in a planetarium!

5. The daytime sky: And, look up at our piercing blue daytime sky, often containing puffy, extraordinary clouds! You can see weather systems for miles and miles. Just breathtaking.
6. The outdoor living: Year round hiking, biking, motorsports, golf and tennis. Downhill and cross-country skiing in winter within a 30 minute drive. Swimming at our local pools in summertime, and cool early morning runs or walks year round. ETC. ETC.

7. The art: Artists from all over the world are represented in our many galleries. And we are a mecca for inspiration! Artists and enthusiasts alike are drawn to Santa Fe. A wonderful community of talented painters, sculptors, photographers, and more!

8. The music: From the "world class" Santa Fe Opera, an outdoor amphitheater that each summer attracts aficionados from all over the world, to the Lensic, our downtown venue for concerts that vary from chamber music to rock and roll, to our local guitar strumming musicians at Happy Hour, Santa Fe has it all! You won't be disappointed.

9. Easy access to major cities: Besides our small local airport, with friendly small jet service, the easy 50 minute ride to Albuquerque International Airport, makes travel a breeze. Our airports are clean, relatively uncrowded, and parking is cheap! Who knew?

10. And last, but certainly not least, our housing: The sky's the limit on the multitude of choices available to the most discerning buyer. Hand polished plaster interior walls, hand hewn beams and vigas, artisan crafted metal details, authentic adobe walls, hand stacked rock fireplaces and yard walls, the finest in wood cabinets and trims. Hand painted ceramic tile, Saltillo, and travertine abound. Flagstone patios and floors individually cut and laid by quality masons. The list goes on and on. And all at a price that is hard to beat for a major resort area.
