New Mexico can be a challenging place to live, Los Alamos even moreso. Like someone else mentioned: married with kids? Great place, but even then Los Alamos is isolated, it’s a 45 minute drive to Santa Fe which itself is not huge. For the national labs you will also need to maintain a clearance, and the DOE is somewhat regressive in its policies around past drug use and mental health treatment.
There is very little in the way of night life. There are activities but this is a place where people live their whole lives and you often have to know someone to get involved. There is a paucity of health services. The airport is small and has had its routes reduced dramatically over the last 15 years. Los Alamos real estate is dated and expensive.
On the other hand the state is beautiful and there are endless outdoor activities.
