Eunice offers open desert skies and a small town atmosphere
Oil fields surround Eunice, a Southeast New Mexico city that sits under clear desert skies, about 6 miles from the Texas border. “It’s a rural area, and a very small community […] They have a little grocery store. They’ve got a little post office, but they don’t even deliver mail to your house. You have to have a postal box. That’s how small it is,” says Martha Thomas, a qualifying broker with Casa Oasis Realty who has over 16 years of experience.

The only thing that will bring you into [Eunice] is if you’re working around that area or close to Odessa, Texas, and you’re looking for a place to stay… There’s really not a whole lot to do there or any other jobs, unless you go work at the Urenco,” Thomas says regarding the enrichment facility on New Mexico Highway 176, near the Texas border.
