Cheapest cities in Mexico by Bhavna
Hello everyone, Budget is an important consideration when moving to Mexico. Ideally, expats would settle down in a city in Mexico where the cost of living is low but where they could also enjoy a decent quality of life. Would you be able to give ...
I think there are many similarities to Ajijic and SMA but the point is you can control the experience instead of letting it control you. Higher rents in high season in tourist areas is to be expected. Cheaper living is possible off the beaten track ... Read More

Packman - have you ever heard the joke, New York is a wonderful city, only one problem, it’s filled with New Yorkers!! Jajaja. I think that’s one of those fill in the blank type jokes. Insert any city and it still works like Chicago and ... Read More

It would be naive to think that because ajijic and SMA have large numbers of English speakers that the towns are void of Mexican culture. They are still 90% Mexican populations in those towns. And in those towns one can choose which components of ... Read More

I was actually responding to Steve and Marty. I’m sorry if you thought I was talking about you and your girlfriend. I also wasn’t putting down you or Steve and Marty. My comment was really based on the many senior citizen you tube ... Read More
Moving to San Miguel, good idea or bad idea? by jbills1953
My wife and I are planning to come to San Miguel for the first time to explore the possibility of moving there on a permanent basis. Any advice or helpful tips would be appreciated.
You definitely don’t want to move to Chicago then, ja ja ja. By the way, you might want to read my comment more closely. I was supporting your right to have a contrary viewpoint while offering perspective on the wide spectrum of opinions ... Read More

Wouldn’t it be an advantage to remodel an existing structure to limit the overall scope of the project? In doing so wouldn’t the dependence on timeliness and overall project length be reduced? Mexicans aren’t lazy, far from it, ... Read More

The caravan is headed from the USA to Lake Chapala/Ajicic and ThAts where ALL future American and Canadian expats should go!! They have all heard how awful San Miguel de Allende is!! (And because I love SMA and want it all for myself) I will ... Read More

You think the crime rate in SMA has skyrocketed? Ten days ago in Chicago 21 people shot in one three hour period. It’s all relative. Mass shootings are increasing across the USA. SMA’s recent problems seem centered around the drug ... Read More

Real Estate in Mexico Is NOT Cheaper?? by 4theloveofsun
For those of you who own property please correct me if you think I'm looking at this in negative light, or not seeing the "big" picture when it comes to buying a home in Mexico. The cost of living in Mexico is much better, no question ...
It very much depends on two things. Where you live in the US and where you are looking in Mexico. Somebody from SF will find ANY homes for sale in most if not all Mexican locales to be very inexpensive. However if you are from Chattanooga, TN only ... Read More

I think the slow down can be looked at as a market correction. SMA real estate is very expensive by Mexican standards. In neighboring Guanajuato city and Querétaro the prices are significantly cheaper. I also think SMA has been overdeveloped ... Read More
