How much does it cost to live in Querétaro, Mexico?
One thing that Mexico has offered us in our life is that we have the most beautiful house we could have imagined to have. And more importantly, we can afford it! For the price of an small apartment in an inexpensive city in the US, we get to live in a huge and beautiful house in Mexico. The cost of living in this amazing neighborhood is so affordable even taking into account all of the expenses.
In this house tour you can get an insight of the huge modern architecture movement happening in Mexico.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MEXICO --> ua-cam.com/video/Eyqijhai--A/v-deo.html
Where did you find that house listing
Mexico offers more than low prices. Like a fish the life has flavor but it also has bones. Try to go to the bank on Friday afternoon when everybody needs cash. Try to pay your electric or water bills at the end of the month. Traffic tickets are negotiable. Labor is cheap. My opinion, in all of Latin America, Mexico is the best country to live.
Hello how do I find any apartments for rent in Monterrey? Or perhaps you used a website or person
Honestly, we always book an Airbnb first. Just to get a feeling for the city and the areas you'll most want to live in. Then, I would suggest checking an expat group on Facebook and asking this question. It seems that each city has their own best ways to find places to rent
serg & tana hey thanks for the feedback after all this COVID stuff dies out hopefully can make my way out there !
Your killing me your entire huge home is nearly the same cost I am paying for my one bedroom apartment in Western Canada. Never mind those amazing utility prices.
Isn't it crazy? There's a catch though... You have to be able to put up with perfect weather 😂
You think that's cheap? I pay 2200 pesos a month for a decent, two bedroom house in a good neighborhood here in Pachuca. Only wealthy families can afford to live in a residencia like this video, they are a status symbol. Oh and sorry Serg and Tana, nothing personal but... What perfect weather? Querétaro is a freaking oven! I would die if I had to live there, no idea how you can put up with it.
@@Sheilawisz Queretaro is warmer than USA i think is the reason
Kyle Whitney
Querétaro
So basically those 250,000 houses aren’t just per year there full price
A lot of houses in Mexico look pretty modern and cheap
Where i live houses are expensive af, a house like that would be like more than 4 million pesos..... in Mexico
Your right
Theyre not cheap
かわいい there not cheap stupid
I live in a $700,000 modern house in Mexico and that shit is so fucking expensive it’s not cheap
OKAY-
admit it...
You really wanna live in Mexico
I do
Ahhhh I’m from Mexico and I want to live in US
@@alexachavez8024 Alexa I wanna live in Mexico now because it’s so cheap and i’m from the US 🥲
Honestly, living in a house and neighborhood like this is my dream🤩🤩🤩 what part of Mexico is this?
Hi! It's in Querétaro, MX:)
The$14,900 pesos is that for the entire home + the maintenance? Or is that your contribution? Super informative vid btw thank you!
@@khayguizz9375 Apparently 14,000 pesos are the rent for the entire house.
serg & tana omg I’m from there!!!
This particular area is called Zibatá in El Marqués.
14,000 for the whole house in that neighborhood? WOW that is cheap
Isn't it insane? It's a newer neighborhood, surely over time it'll get more expensive.
I’m Mexican and the reason why it cheep is because money works differently 1 dollar is like 20 pesos and when my grandma was a kid she usually got 20 pesos (one dollar) to get a snack and share with her 6 brothers I’m soo grateful I was born in USA and I’m heartbroken trup is building that wall cause million of kids want better opportunities to study
Celeste Sanchez yea it is I’m saving up to buy a mansion for my family I want to move to Mexico in the coming years a mansion is cheap it can be from $50k-400k and they are modern it’s crazy I almost have enough
serg & tana it’s beyond insane the house looks amazing and extremely affordable
@@celestesanchez2986 I live in TJ, that house in a zone like that, will cost easily around 1000-1500 usd.
That's a great deal for a secure area and a brand new house I would do that IN a second
It's especially perfect because I can walk to school from here:)
you guys need a interior designer asap. Beautiful hose but the decoration doesn't do it justice.
Hi. Thank you! The house was very temporary so we weren't going to invest any money into it. We no longer live there.
Are u still in Mexico??
When people say “we dont have a dish washer” i never expect one in any house. Only because i like to clean my stuff myself. Lol bleach water dish soap and my 🤚🏽 hands
lmao my mom likes bleach water and fabric softener hahahhaa
Amazing Video guys you all are very helpful, I’m moving to Queretaro in 8 months and plan to do youtube because it’s amazing and very fun to experience those features I can’t wait to see the beautiful city I’m going there for vacation in november
The view from your balcony is of the "Valle de Amazcala" I find it really enjoyable, the fact that is still not developed and for the most part is a green valley is amazing! I go every once in a while to the golf driving range and get to enjoy that view while getting rid of stress by hitting a ball as far as I can ;-).
I've been living here for years and had no idea what the name of the valley was! Haha thank you!
greetings from Merida - Mexico's awarded best area for overall quality of life
Fierro, fierro, viva México!!!!!
I am so happy my wife and I found your channel! We just got back from Mexico 2 weeks ago. We spent one week in San Miguel and one week in Queretaro. What area is your home located because we will be retiring next and love Queretaro! Also how far from Centro? Thank you and keep up the great videos!
Oh we love both San Miguel and Querétaro! If you wouldn't mind we would love to answer specific questions like this through e-mail or Instagram DM. Thank you for your support and your kind words:)
@@sergtana I completely understand. If we can find an area with rent that low it will allow us to retire early. Please feel free to email me at alex.rusu01@gmail.com. Thank you!
I want to move to Mexico when I retire.
Same, been looking around to see where is the best place to buy
Haha, when you said the sink was preparing you for van life and then showed us the fridge I was was wondering if it was going to be filled with meat. I would have guessed no.
Nice 5 bedroom home. Economical as well for the area.
Just discovered you channel. Great video, that’s awesome that you guys are in Queretaro, i love there weather there. Good luck guys!
Zibata? Refugio? What do you think rent would be for this house today? Thanks!
That neighborhood is beautiful. How far is it to downtown Queretaro? Do you have a car down there or is there a bus that you can catch that is nearby? I know Queretaro is large and there are a lot of new neighborhoods surrounding it. I was just wondering if someone has to have a car to live there.
Thank you! We live in one of the new neighborhoods that surround the city that you mentioned. Buses aren't quite reliable enough here yet but we don't have a car either. We use Uber, it's affordable enough.
Mexico is the best, like EE.UU.❤🇲🇽❤🇲🇽🇮🇹
Such a gorgeous place! 😍 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching and for your nice comment:)
I’m a Mexican living in the us looking to buy a house in the near future. Now I’m wondering whether I should just buy one in Mexico instead
Same here 😂 I’m just gonna save a lot of money and build or buy a house in a nice place in Mexico and retire.
Im mexican living in Monterrey. Wow 14,000 pesos is WAY affordable. I mean that house would easily costo 25 to 30K MXN here in Monterrey (1,250 to 1,500 USD). I'm shocked
Y en Mérida Yucatán una casa así están como en 10 mil pesos aún más barato por eso muchos mexicanos de otros Estados últimamente se mudan a Mérida por lo barato que es
What house? That's a nice residencia that you live in, congratulations guys! Quite a reasonable rent as well, very good. I am not sure, but I would almost bet that it's somewhere in Juriquilla, perhaps Lomas de Juriquilla. Have a great start of the week, Serg and Tana! =)
Aww thank you very much!:)
This is awesome! Great info. I’m preparing to do business in Mexico next year. Do you all do business there?
That's great! For now I am doing university here but that's it, no business.
Interesting, what type of business do you have in mind?
Cesar Loretto retail.
Cesar Loretto Do you live in Mexico?
Hi, I am from the states. I have been living in Colombia for a bit and want to move to Mexico city. Where did you go to find the house? Similar to Colombia most websites will give you "Gringo" Prices.
There are websites to get you started but they're not like in the US. Obviously the best place to look is in person because that's where you'll have face to face interaction and more negotiation power. If you want to start looking you can check out propiedades.com, casas.trovit.com.mx or Vivanuncios.com.mx
@@sergtana Thank you!
Hi guys,
I just started following and watching. This might be a personal question but I’ve seen other videos made about the topic I’m about to ask. How are you able to afford living in Mexico and/or what do you do for a living?
Hi Jesse! Right now we are not employed, I am enrolled in university and Tana saved some money before moving here:)
People from us/canada think it´s cheap because of what you guys earn and spend but if you compare it to what Mexicans earn it is not that cheap
Yes, of course. This video is from our perspective as Americans!
Yeah I’m sorry people keep screaming out cheap!
What's the job market like in Mexico? Is there a "minimum wage"? Would you say that is a middle class house or an upper class house? It's not cheap if you can't find a job that enables you to afford decent housing.
What advise would you give for making money and coming with a savings? I plan on moving to Ensenada and I have 2 dogs that I would be taking with me. What advise would you give for money wise, visas, work, etc?
Why did you guys decide to move to Mexico? What do you do for work?
@@sergtana No working 😂😂
The area looks neat.... Queretaro's housing prices are still affordable compared to other major cities. Keep it up!!
That's true! But unfortunately the housing prices are rising here too.
I pay $10 per month for 50mbps fiber optic wifi it's cheaper than Mexico in India
Interesting, thank you for sharing!
My moms built her house with 5 grand and it’s HUGE !
This is really nice and helpful as I am planning on building a house in mexico and need some ideas and this helps me come up with ideas.
Wonderful! Just remember, build a much bigger kitchen! This one was just too small lol
For that price, very nice neighborhood and home. Gas is a little pricey but it seems to be that way everywhere.
Ok... Nice video. But tons of questions. So I know Tana is an American but what about Serg? If you're both Americans how is it living in Mexico? Paperwork, residency requirements? Healthcare? .. I travel to Mexico quite often and have actually contemplated living there for a while to travel and enjoy the weather and cheap prices. Ive seen many Americans that are actually living there and have asked the same question to them and have found that many are actually living there illegally and nobody bothers them. Keep up the nice work, saw you guys on Eamon and Bec.. subscribed,
Hi! Serg here! So I'm Mexican and Tana isn't (yet). She lives here just on the 180 day pass you get upon entering the country. Healthcare here is very affordable so coverage isn't an issue for us. We have looked into what you'd need to do to migrate here legally for more than 6 months and for that you have to visit the Mexican consulate closest to you in the US and I think the Visa is close to $230 USD.
@@sergtana Awesome.. wish you guys the best of luck.. keep up the videos.
I apologize if it was mentioned but I didn’t catch it; where in Mexico is this?
It's in Querétaro. In a neighborhood called zibata
Such a beautiful house 😳
Have you very been in Mexico Estado de México?? At the north area as Cuautitlan Izcalli, it is so close from Mexico city and have Averything to give the american good quality life
Very good price, for this property, does anyone know a good website for real estate in mexico? I couldn't find anything comparable in La Paz at this price?
I should say that this video is a few years old and the price was agreed on even a couple of years before that. You should still be able to find something in La Paz around these prices on inmuebles24 for example.
@@sergtana Thank you for the tip.
What a beautiful house! I would pay for that type of house here in the States a fortune! You guys are a lovely couple! Here it goes a personal question, you can answer it or not, which l will understand if not, l have read that Serg is from Mexico and Tana is from the States, did you guys first met in the US? Or in Mexico... Cheers guys, enjoy your stay in Mexico!
Thank you very much for your lovely comment. We actually met i the US:)
Are you renting? Or is the house being bought?
We were renting!
modern houses in mexico are cheap there like 500,000 dollars which is like 6 million pesos
500K USD are 10 million mexican pesos... with that you can buy a nice house with a pool in Guadalajara, and probably even a nicer one in Querétaro ua-cam.com/video/pkwk39eAYG8/v-deo.html
@@edgars8947 calculator right?
@@hewo398 it sometimes helps :D
I currently living in San Diego at moment with the inflation of housing prices and our unpredictable economy I'm looking for something less expensive living wise any information please reply.....
Well, anywhere in Mexico is clearly cheaper than anywhere in California. If you're looking for a high standards of living like in San Diego I'd look at larger cities such as Mexico City, Monterrey, and guadalajara
I'm new here. You are vegan? Same! Some of the best vegan food I've ever had was in Mexico (specifically Mexico City and Monterrey).
Hey Jenny! Yes, we are vegan and we agree that Mexico has some of the best vegan food!
Thats more my speed. How did you find this place?
Keep in mind that they shared this house with four other people. Makes sense, it's quite a large house. It's silly to have all that space for only two people.
I'm from Guerrero and next year my son enter to university to become Software Engineer, our main option is the UAQ that is located in Juriquilla, i know is a expesive zone but hope that there are a estudent friendly area near the Facultad.
There are many universities there. There's an UNAM campus and an UVM right beside it. There should be many options for college roommates in the area.
Manterae is better grass everywhere and its clear green that's the best part of mexico
Where do you work? Or where does your income come from living in Mexico?
Right now we're working online. We hope to make a detailed video about this quite soon
Yay ! I live in Mexicali, Bc with my parents I pay 0
Of rent, I also work online Monday through Friday, and on the weekends I travel to L.A. That’s also where all my income comes from. If you ever been in border down half of the population work in the U.S and live in Mexico.
Hello. I just returned from Merida last week. What part of Mexico are you in and how’s the crime level there?
Está en Querétaro y es una ciudad muy segura la más segura en el centro del país
Wow that house is beautiful compared to what I have in California!
What neighborhood is this? I’m going to be visiting soon and need to know what’s the best neighborhoods to look for .
Zibatá! Although there are so many neighborhoods in Querétaro to consider depending on what you're looking for and what your budget is! Just to name a few, there is: El Refugio, Juriquilla, Jurica, El Campanario, Milenio, Alamos, Carretas, Jardines de Querétaro, but there's a few more too!
THAT home is beautiful
What fo you guts work or job to be able to live in Mexico.
Pretty much a average person in america is a rich person in mexico
Not really… like there a huge gap between rich and poor. Also they increase financial residency. So you have to be making the top 5% just to live in mexico now the top 1% is hard because u have to make more then 180k to millions
Why do you need such a huge house just for 2 people? Just curious
We shared the house with 4 other people.
Yeah, stupid me, didn’t see that till almost the end, 😂 sorry. I lived in Mexico for 16 years and planning to go back in a few months, love the people. Good video, thanks
i love mexico. it’s beautiful. and the neighbourhood you’re in is really nice. not all houses in Mexico are like this tho. there are houses that look like shacks or that are insecure. like yeah there are these houses to but there aren’t these everywhere if ygm. there’s also places where you have to be in by a certain time bc it can be dangerous wid gangs and stuff. yeah there are some really nice houses like this but there are also really small houses. but yeah that house is gorgeous. i want to live in mexico or spain soon
You've never been to los angeles have you? Ever heard of skid row?
@@MrNobodycares100 don’t compare skid row with Mexico. That’s a horrible comparison. Mexico is 10x as dangerous. Shows you don’t have family over there or even know what your speaking about
@@gerardoc4093 I have family in delicias chihuahua and they make a comfortable living. Wtf are you talking about no family😂 You be one of em families scared of the gringo news
@@MrNobodycares100 you said it, comfortable living. My wife is from Michoacán, we wouldn’t say they made a comfortable living there. It shows you’ve never had family kidnapped just to ask for a ransom , cartel related killing, it’s not the media mija it’s the reality of living in a country full of corruption and murder.
@@gerardoc4093 Now i understand why y’all population is consistent. No matter how many kids Mexicans have in Mexico cartels will still kill the population
Where can I find something similar to your house to rent.
There are a few areas like this in Querétaro. This neighborhood specifically is Zibatá. However, other neighborhoods such as Zakia, El Refugio, Altozano, Milenio, and Juriquilla have similar architecture to this. They're all relatively new neighborhoods so the homes are very modern.
What do y’all do for jobs? To live at Mexico
Online, most likely. It is difficult for foreigners to get jobs, especially if they don't speak the language. Most UA-camrs who live abroad work online (UA-cam/Freelance/etc.)
whats the name of mexico you are in
This video was recorded in zibata neighborhood in Querétaro Mexico
Thanks you guys.
for Americans that neighborhood its awesome for us Mexicans we know that that is a middle lower class neighborhood even though is gated , imagine the houses of the rich , not even in Miami
Points for maple syrup! 🍁
Awesome
I wanna move there now
How much you paid for the house? N why you guys dint bought an ocean view home I mean for me that would be my main reason to move there.
We were renting. At the time we left, the rent was 18,000 mxn. We lived there because that's where I went to college. Mexico has a lot to offer besides the beach:)
Mexico where?
How much is it to buy it
Nice place! Which neighbourhood are you guys in?
send us a dm on insta (:
La renta es muy barata para la zona, hicieron un buen trato 👍🏻 lo se porque yo vivo en el mismo lugar.
Sí! Ya subió un poco la renta pero nos salió barato porque tenemos años rentando aquí
Cuanto sale aproximadamente la renta actualmente? me quiero mover a México en unos meses y realmente agradeceria su información. Aparte que requisitos te solicitan? por ejemplo contrato de arrendamiento, avales locales, depósitos, documentos, etc..
Hola! Pues depende realmente. Para una casa grande, puede llegar hasta los 20,000. Generalmente empiezan desde 10,000 a 20,000. Yo rento directamente con el dueño entonces solo es un acuerdo de palabra y le pagamos cada mes y listo.
@@sergtana muchas gracias amigos, me sirve mucho su información. Saludos!!
Beautiful house? How did you guys find it?
Keep in mind that they shared this house with four other people. Makes sense, it's quite a large house. It's silly to have all that space for only two people.
What paperwork did you need to buy a house?
We were just renting here so unfortunately we don't know the requirements to buy a home in Mexico.
How much did you pay for this house
The name of the neighborhood? And you only pay 350 a month?
That's what we paid but we shared the home. The house itself was closer to $900 a month. However, it was a huge house, most homes would be smaller and of course cheaper. The neighborhood is Zibatá
I notice Queretaro to be very clean. Can you explain the process on how to go about renting an apartment or house? If you want to of course. I've really enjoyed your channel and videos. It's full of information that I find useful.
Yes! Querétaro feels clean for sure and that's because the city invests a lot in making sure that it's image is top-notch and it works!
To your other point, you've commented right on time! This weekend we'll upload a video going over how to rent in Mexico.
That place looks like is in zibata, Querétaro. Am I right? I’m planing to buy a lot there soon
You're right! It's a lovely place. We really enjoyed living there. The only issue is that we never had a car so it was a bit difficult with being so far from everything but otherwise, a great place to live.
what city is this in?
If you were to buy this house how much would it be?
It kind of hard to buy houses in Querétaro
Beautiful house and so cheap! The total cost for our one bedroom apartment here in the U.S 😭 but the sink made me pass on it, too small!
The kitchen is a deal breaker for us too but there are soooo many other options. Plus most people don't need 5 bedrooms so it can get cheaper. Thanks for watching!
That is incredibly affordable. Such a cool place to live. Do you two go to school?
It's so affordable! Sergio is currently attending school, but I (tana) am not (:
Where do you shop?
Loveeee this!
What part of Mexico is this?
Querétaro!:)
And cost of the house
Where is this?
Who built this house
what city mexico is a whole nation
What city is that?
Querétaro!🖤
Dude this is cheaper than living in SA for a house like that.
I am seriously considering moving to either Mexico or Colombia. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Colombia is. Cheap
what part of mexico?
This is Querétaro
I want this to be like me and my boyfriend santiago♥♥♥
So you guys share the house with other people?
Yes! With 4 other people
Almost 1,000? Not bad for a house I would rather pay that much US dollars than something like 5k-170k
Yes, it's cheaper than the US and we like it more here anyways so it's a win-win
What city ?
Looks like a desert. Nice house
It’s incredible how Mexico can be so poor and so rich!
Yeah there’s a lot of wealth inequality here unfortunately
It's rich in resource and land is amazing. Gov is the one that steals from the people. If that wasn't the case Mexico would be more rich than the usa. Also children in Mexico are very mature.
@@liliacreativity1751 Also alot more population as well, but because cartels shoot people left and right thats also why especially women that die from these violence
What do you guys do for a living ?
SEO marketing!
Online, most likely. It is difficult for foreigners to get jobs, especially if they don't speak the language. Most UA-camrs who live abroad work online (UA-cam/Freelance/etc.)
It's not accurate electricity is not subsidized as much as they said there might be some for certain households but I'm sure where they live does not qualify over all the video left out many factor transportation ,food,entertainment overall I think the video was click bait not accurate
What City is this in Mexico?
Querétaro
