General livability. Santa Fe is a world-class destination, with spectacular mountains and vistas, and dynamic art and culinary attractions. The people are friendly and open minded, with a tremendous mix of cultures. There are a great many elders here, for it is a comfortable and (so far) uncrowded place to live.
Age friendly not quiet sure 80% of the town is senior citizens
Many community options for elderly as well as transportation services.
Care and Cost.
