@@StormyJoe1999 Yes you can do that here. But there’s a debate as to whether that’s a good idea or not.

@@StormyJoe1999 Hey Joe. I’ve driven in many major cities in the U.S. including the Los Angeles freeways and also other world capital cities such as Paris, Rome and London. So dude, I’ve probably driven in more crazy cities than you. Yes, you are correct when you say Mexican people are generally very friendly but they are not as friendly when they drive. I know because I drive every day. They will not let you into traffic most of the time. You are also correct in saying that motorcycles are the ones to watch out for also as they will pass you on the inside and even go on the sidewalk.

Thanks for your honest feedback and experience. I agree that it's important to find the right pace that suits your lifestyle. Not all beaches are crowded and actually it’s just the in town beaches. There are lots of empty beaches around the Banderas Bay.

Shop in the tourist areas and you’ll pay more

@@JosephHurtsellers Thank you Joseph. Everything you said in your comment is so spot on, on all counts too and I couldn’t agree with you more. Cheers

I have not seen any evidence of that in everyday life here. You make it sound like gangs roam the streets. That’s preposterous. There is zero chance Puerto Vallarta will become like Acapulco. Cartels and cartel violence is concentrated in area in the north closer to the border. I have one question for you….do you live in Puerto Vallarta? Because what your purporting is definitely not the reality and your painting a very untrue picture of PV.

@@dn-re7xf Thank you so much for giving me these tips. I will include them in part 2 of the video which I’m Working on now.

@@eyesea123 I am sorry to hear that. These people are slick. That’s why I’m always wary, in a public setting, when people I don’t know start getting too close and invading my space. I bet you are a lot more aware now. Thanks for the kind words.

@@LIVINGINPUERTOVALLARTAMEXICO It was a group, a guy on a bike, a girl with a stroller and a few others. They kept walking right behind me. It was very uncomfortable. Stupidly, I thought a backpack was safe. Never again. No backpacks now. Right by the cuale river bridge.

@ ​​⁠​​⁠Yea, backpacks are an easy target. I use one but I always pull it around to the front with my arm over it.

@@RexPonder-y6b I honestly don’t see how it’s much cheaper than Puerto Vallarta. But to each his own.

​@@LIVINGINPUERTOVALLARTAMEXICO not to mention America's toxic chemical, sugar and pesticide-laden food and cost of medical care!

@@LIVINGINPUERTOVALLARTAMEXICO Prices are obscene in PV because the cartels take a cut of everything. All real estate is under gng control

@@NorthSouth88 Dude. I don't know where your'e getting this info from. "All real estate is under gang control" REALLY! I can tell you first hand thats absolute bollox. If you don't know what that means....google it.

Not you again Rex. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Good riddance- have your bad news days somewhere else.

@@Lanscape81 Thank you for your kind words.

@@deeannm8456 Thank you for your kind words.

@@waltermorris5786 Thanks so much Walter. Glad you liked my video. Yes they are pretty much all high rise condo developments that you see particularly closely se to the beaches. East of the highway the condo buildings are generally limited in height so not as many floors. Yes there are many condos within these development that are rentals. Both long term and short term rentals.

@@LIVINGINPUERTOVALLARTAMEXICO What does an average condo sell for? I plan on moving to PV. At first I will rent an apt to become knowledgeable;e absit the area but might buy real estate eventually.

@ There are many factors that determine the prices of condos. Apart from the obvious ones such as square footage, number of bedrooms and bathroom you also have proximity to the ocean and the town. Some neighborhoods are more popular, such as Zona Romantica, than others and therefore have higher priced condos. To buy a studio/1 bedroom condo in Zona Romantica or in the downtown area probably around $320k + US. Out of downtown and a little further back from the ocean a one studio/ 1 bedroom would be $250+. Further out of PV going east and also north, it gets cheaper and there are 2 bedroom condos available in these areas for $120k

@@LIVINGINPUERTOVALLARTAMEXICO Hi Stan, I love your informative videos. Which area North of PV can you purchase a 2 bedroom condo for $120,000? Thank you

@@julieann777 Hi Julieann. Thank you so much for supporting my UA-cam channel. There are some areas north of puerto Vallarta where you can purchase a condo in that price range. Ixtapa is one area that has several developments and there are others. If you are interested in purchasing a condo in the area I would be very happy to email you some listings in that price range from our MLS. If you give me your email address I would be glad to shoot those to you. Cheers. Stan

@@dennishassler605 Hi Dennis. Thanks for your input. Usually though it’s us locals who use the busses. Most first time visitors or locals with luggage shy away from the bus service. But it is indeed a good alternative to taxis and Uber in certain circumstances.

@@Starbeoghtuser3475 Hi. Thanks for your comment. On our MLS (multi listing service) property listings are listed both in U.S. Dollars and in Pesos. Since the majority of people watching and subscribing to this channel are in the U.S. I talk about pricing in U.S. dollars. As regards the maintenance fees, they are an ongoing charge that have to be paid in pesos to the HOA each month. I hope this answers your question. Cheers.

@@Jamesbruceblakley Wow! I didn’t know that so thank you thank you for letting me know. This is great information. I’ll follow up on this and acquaint myself with the changes. Cheers

@@andrewthacker114 Thank you Andrew.

@@BohemianLivingPuertoVallarta Thanks guys

It’s an incredible condo and the views are WOW!

Hi Alberto. I’ve been brushing my teeth with tap water for several years and have not had any side effects from it. The tap water in Puerto Vallarta is drinkable though even though I choose not to drink from the tap. Haven’t had any issues with Amazon deliveries either. I even had a mattress delivered through Amazon from the States.

@@mz5501 Yes. Contact Oscar +52 322 153 4054. Tell him Stan Freeman recommended him.

I agree absolutely. Much safer here than the States.

I'd like to leave the US because fascists now control the government. I'm being treated for a serious disease and when I'm done with that I plan on going.

Me neither. I love it here in Puerto Vallarta.

Thanks for your comment. Yes there is an elevator in the complex. Are you in the market to purchase a condo here in PV?

@@Villa_Miguel Haha! Yes I forgot that LOL.

@@malabikachatterjee5634 Sorry, I just saw your comment. Actually this condo was sucky a great value it sold really quickly. Are you interested in purchasing a condo here in Puerto Vallarta? I can send you some Listings of very similar condos that are available. Let me know. Cheers

Hi June. Thanks for your comment. i was surprised. Did someone tell you that I "don't even know the language" or did you decide that? I do think you missed the point of what I was saying though. I was talking about the concept of the Mexican culture being laid back and not putting emphasis on being in a hurry unlike a lot of Americans and Canadians are. Mañana (Tomorrow) in that context basically means "never do today what can just as easily be done tomorrow" . I sense that you are pissed off with the video pointing out some negative things about Puerto Vallarta and the Mexican culture. In fact, it is the opposite. This video is aimed at those people who think these things would be negatives and as such should not bother coming to live in Puerto Vallarta or anywhere in Mexico. After all, who needs people who can't or won't adapt to the culture of their host country and want Mexico to be like the country they are leaving. I love Mexico, the Mexican people and the Mexican culture. Adapt or stay home is my philosophy. C heers.

@@thomasfranco5997 some people like a condo because they don’t want to deal with maintenance and also for the security aspect. I do understand why you would like to have a nice house with pool though. A lot more private for sure. Are you thinking about purchasing here in Puerto Vallarta? Be happy to send you some listings. Cheers.

@@Benitowar Thanks for your comment and kind words. I think it’s more my Irish accent in my pronunciation of the word Puerto. LOL. But you are right. I’ll work on that.

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much. Enjoyed your videos on your channel too.

@@RexPonder-y6b Thank you for your comment. Sorry you had to leave Puerto Vallarta. You are correct in saying that it has gotten expensive here but people have to realized that electricity and gas and other utilities are still cheaper than the US, as are groceries and dining out. It’s always scary when a new government takes over as you are never sure what your going to get but what I do know is that the lifeblood of Puerto Vallarta is tourism and if they price people out from coming here then they will be cutting off their nose to spite their face. People will stop coming to visit and live. I can’t see that happening over the long term.

Thanks for your comment. You are so right about people not appreciating things until they are gone. Ain't that the truth. This Italian man I spoke with said that the disdain for tourists was mostly happening in Spain, where there have been public demonstrations over excessive tourism. He lives in the Amalfi coast area which has throngs of tourists to the point where it is almost uncomfortable trying to get around and enjoy the place but he wasnt complaining at all. He owned a coffee shop below and apartment building that he rents out on Airbnb, so he was more than grateful for tourists coming to the Amalfi coast. Here in PV I know there are some people who resent the tourists but the majority of people are delighted to have them come to spend their money and enjot this beautiful area. Cheers

Thanks and happy to help. Talk to you soon.
