Hobbs is a lively, affordable southeastern New Mexico city with a strong energy-driven economy, friendly community and a growing food and arts scene—comfortable and interesting for multi-week therapy contracts with parks, local events and easy access to outdoor recreation.
Nearby Artesia (about 35 miles) adds more dining and arts options, and Carlsbad (about 70 miles) — home to Carlsbad Caverns National Park — offers one of the region’s best weekend escapes.
