Top 5 best small towns to start a family.

So im going to be relocating to NM very soon and its pretty much going to be a blind move.... but oh well so ive come here to ask those of you that currently live in NM for any and all help and advice you can give me. So im looking for a small town ... aka population 1500-2500 people... somewhere in that ballpark. That is actually a nice clean safe area to raise / start a new family preferably a newer area with newer houses .... if there are any areas that are just starting up where I can actually buy or rent to own a brand new house that no one has lived in before that would be amazing. Must have a good school system pre-k to at least 5th grade.... (for now).. will worry about 6-12 later. I am an LPN so definitely somewhere with jobs close by ..at most 45 mins away.. also near jails and or prisons because I would love to work in a correctional setting. ...but I supposes a job is a job... not trying to be picky here but ill work just about anywhere that is not a nursing home... nothing againt them cause I work in one now.. but its just not my cup of tea. Ok also my bf has run into some trouble so somewhere we can find jobs that will hire those that have been incarcerated. . Construction, oil field work, mechanics, basically anything hands on if there are under the table jobs, hey! Why not! But I hope you kinda get the gist of what im looking for. Any and everything helps .. thanks :)
