New moves to New Mexico’s city of Edgewood

While the town’s history can be traced back to the 1800s, it was only during the last few decades that new residents began coming in droves to Edgewood – and in 1999 it became an official city.

Edgewood’s convenient proximity to Albuquerque as well as Santa Fe has made it a popular choice for commuters. Thanks to an influx of people and an ambitious ramp-up in housing, Edgewood has cemented its status as New Mexico’s fastest-growing city.

When it comes to shopping, cowboys, ranchers, and fashionistas have plenty of options. And just because you don’t live in a big city, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice big-city luxuries either. Drive down State Route 344 for a number of independently owned boutiques and retailers.

The city itself is generally quiet, encompassed by farms and ranches. Residents enjoy their close proximity to Interstate 40 and spending time with the animals living at the Wildlife West Nature Park.
