I am a retired US senior citizen, single (widow of 10 years) moving to somewhere in Latin America. I lived in Guadalajara, MX for 6 years in the 80s and I still speak a better than basic conversational Spanish. Guadalajara is very expensive, at least for me, and I am exploring other possibilities. I would like to know if the following is in the realm of reality😊

My budget for renting an apartment is max at 550 USD but lower would be nicer (if possible). In which neighborhoods are simple, clean 1 bedroom (2 BR?) available in a safe neighborhood. I will not have a car so I would like to be reasonably “near even” to have access to multiple public transport (if that makes sense). I am comfortable in Spanish speaking environment. I am thinking of paying for a guide - no I'm not jumping into the first car that comes along - to walk the neighborhood streets or cab ride around in my search.

MANY thanks to all who respond. Que amable son todos
