Desert Industry Affordable Close-Knit

Famous for its once-thriving cantaloupe cultivation, Pecos is a commercial corridor that sits just outside the vast desert stretched across Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and Mexico. The city has seen a recent boom due to the expanding oil industry in the area. Industrial roots aside, Pecos has become a respectable locale in West Texas.

Pecos is the largest city in Reeves County, and also the county seat. You’ll find lauded-about burrito spots, donut shops, and popular dive bars dotted around the compact grid that makes up the city. There are two unexpected amenities in this desert city: Pecos Valley Country Club and Maxey Park, complete with water features. The country club offers access to a well-maintained golf course in the vast expanse of Texas, and Maxey Park makes for a much-needed escape from the arid climate.
