The correct preposition?

It is a town near/ next to/ close to (city name).

Thanks.

When you say "next to," it means the towns are touching like the sister cities of El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. "Near" and "close to" means the cities might be a few miles apart. The city of Las Cruces, New Mexico, is close to El Paso, Texas, as it is about a half hour drive away.
