Leaving New Mexico but for where?

[Dreadbelly]

I was born in Ohio, Lived in Fla and South Ga for most of my life. I now live in the upstate of South Carolina. We have a change of season, The weather will get above 100 from time to time but not often. Winters are mild, usually one or two snow falls a year and the snow melts by the next day. I'm close to the mountains and a few hours drive from the beach. Real estate is affordable. The job market is better than other parts of the country. The schools could be better, but there is a huge focus on improving the quality and it seems to be working.

I'll second most of this.

Greenville is lovely. But the real feel temps downtown can climb in to the 120s in the summer. And the humidity sucks eggs.

I like it here. Really. I love my front yard.

As for education... That leaves a lot to be desired, but there are some good resources in the area to help your kids away from the public schools.

In fact, I'll be more than happy to help tutor some kids. I am not a math person, but the other stuff, reading, English, social studies, stuff that does not involve math, I can be most helpful.
