About the Region

Desert Southwest

The Desert Southwest — Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico — shares a climate defined by heat, aridity, and extraordinary landscape. Phoenix has grown into one of the country's largest cities on the premise of air-conditioned suburban living, a bargain for decades that is being stress-tested by climate shifts pushing summer highs above 110°F and placing long-term water resources under pressure. Las Vegas offers Nevada's zero income tax and extraordinary entertainment infrastructure against the same water equation tied to a shrinking Colorado River.

Tucson, Albuquerque, and Santa Fe offer a different profile: human-scale cities with deep roots in Spanish colonial and Indigenous traditions, lower costs than their larger neighbors, and the landscape that draws artists, retirees, and outdoor enthusiasts. The region's sunlight is exceptional — Phoenix regularly exceeds 300 sunny days per year — and the cultural texture across New Mexico in particular is unlike anywhere else in the United States.
