- With more than a million expats estimated to live there, Mexico is far and away the most popular destination for North Americans looking to move abroad. But-with so many places to choose from-where in Mexico should you move? It’s a very large country, after all.
Much depends, of course, on what you’re looking for. In this video, Jason is going to focus on two beach destinations and one destination that's known for its culture and arts.
Everything you need to know about retiring in Mexico is here: internationall...

this seems more like a video of places to visit, I as a mexican think there are way better to retire, and enjoy things like the beach or so with more calm and for cheap, for instance Merida, Yucatan, which is a favorite for retirees, one of the lowest crime rates of the entire continent, very cheap prices, big city with all commodities, and it is located near the beach (40min drive). Other favorite is Queretaro, which is a big, more modern city, yet with its own charm and very calm as well, not sure about the prices though
We live in Merida now...for almost two years; everything you said is true. We are looking at Queretaro as our next place to settle into. Do you know if that's a great place to find excellent healthcare? Any other suggestions for safe, beautiful places with low humidity and excellent healthcare? Thx! 😇
It should be called , “where to pay the most “
@@DragonBellyTravels What do landlords ask for to rent an apartment in Merida?
looking to retire in Mexico in about 10 years, hopefully sooner Merida and Guanajuato are on the top of my list so far
I find Playa Del Carmen appealing as it’s less has American than Puerto Vallarta and less of a comercial feel. There are a many young Brazilian, Argentinians Ana Columbians that have moved there . The seafood is very fresh and it’s very walkable and clean. It’s 3 hours drive to Merida if you need more history but the most gorgeous beaches around . The humidity is the only problem for me so I find it works good as a second home . Mexican people are amazing ,they love life and are very happy !
I think Puerto Vallarta and Playa del carmen are more of a Vacation spot than a place to retire .From this short list of 3 .I would prefer San Miguel de Allende .
After visiting all these cities numerous times, all 3 have advantages and disadvantages. PV is over crowded now, the humidity in Cancun is unbearable 6 months out of the year, San Miguel is beautiful and very much like Spain but ironically too far from the beach haha. I prefer a city close to the beach with a higher elevation to avoid the humidity. Tapalpa or Guzman are still pretty close to everything about an hour or 2 and lovely.
But how safe are they?
@@lupitacajero7185 Anything can happen anywhere in the world. In my opinion with all the gun violence in the US, I feel much safer in Mexico. I don’t go for walks at 2:00 AM and am aware of my surroundings where ever I go.
@@christy7344 If you haven’t been to Oaxaca go check it out. Great art, great food and lots of history. They are close to finishing the new road to Puerto Escondido this year which will make the drive time to the beach a few hours.
Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo are amazing! A short flight from California and you can enjoy the teal water and lovely people.
I hear Baja is rather dangerous? What do u think?
i've been to puerto vallarta and loved it.
Been there maybe 15 times and still love it )
As a wild card I'll be adding Huatulco, Ajiic or lake Chapala region and Mazatlan.
I Agree
Ajijic is on Lake Chapala.
Is Mazatlan safe?
There are much nicer places off the beaten tourist track where you can retire in Mexico and still be close to a big city if you need your
Wallmart fix. We have been vlogging in Mexico for almost 6 months and try to stay away from North American chains and live like a happy Mexican.
Two of these recommendations have high crime rate especially the Playa de Carmen with murders/ gang related crimes a constant. No mention of Merida which is regarded as the safest and cheapest place to live.
This is more of a video about people who want to retire to artsy-fartsy- Margarita swilling lifestyles (Imo). I was half expecting him to include Cancun as a 4th choice lol ...
Merida is also the 2nd safest city in North ameica, surpassing all usa cities
I come from South America and I have only been robbed twice in my entire life, and both in Canada...! lol
I was hoping for a video of places we didn’t know about….Puerto Vallarta, and the other two!? These are the most known and popular.
After watching this video I must ask, "Why are so many Mexicans moving to America?" This makes me want to move to Mexico as I am going into semi-retirement.
Because the jobs there don’t pay well.. somehow I think you knew that though
Money
EVERY YEAR since 2008, net migration has been FROM the USA TO México. Don't listen to FoxNoise -- they lie about this.
Mexicans are not moving to the United States; they are already in America, Mexico is in America. Please get it straight; America is not just the United States. The ones coming are from Honduras, El Salvador, Haiti, Guatemala, Venezuela, Colombia, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. The economy is good in Mexico now, so they are staying there.
@@lupitacajero7185 Is that why most of my Mexican friends in the US are Mexican? Your mind can't make up facts, facts make up facts.
Not expats ....immigrants from US.
luly2323 who come to live on their dime,not government handouts.
@@jejakeka who’s living off government handouts? You sound stupid this is why I hate Americans😹😹
@@jejakeka The majority of immigrants don't get handouts; get it straight.
bien/good video
Great vlog
Good input everyone, it would help if you indicated pacific or Atlantic Ocean side. Windows wonka keep the info coming....
There is no "Atlantic" side...
Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea are to the east.
Need more research, you picked up the most popular and $$ places to visit and maybe retired.
A short retirement video for the ultrarich. Why? Because you didn't think it important to retirees to mention one word about money.
The prices are always in flux depending on the exchange rate (the dollar is historically strong right now). If you live fairly modestly you can live on less than a thousand a month easily. Plenty of Mexicans are living on less than 500 bucks a month. The three cities he's picked here are places with huge gringo populations and you'll find better deals (and less tourist crap) elsewhere.
El Ciclista I’m more interested in great weather & cultures than beaches. I’m thinking Morelia, Querétaro or Pátzcuaro, great colonial cities!
@@mxvino2470 Those are great places. I'm really interested in San Luis Potosí these days. Zacatecas and Aguascalientes are a couple other towns people are sleeping on.
El Ciclista Yeah! I heard great things about San Luis Potosí and Zacatecas. So many places to visit.... on my list! Oaxaca, Puebla, Taxco etc
@@mxvino2470 Man, that sounds awesome. When this virus is over I'll join you ha ha.
Cobblestone streets are the worst streets to walk on in the world! My mom got the worst blisters she'd ever had and even had to go to the emergency room! You'll break your ankle if you don't have on shoes with a 6-in soft rubber sole!
If you're out at night in Puerto Vallarta you might get knocked in the head and robbed or even killed for that matter! I can't believe you're recommending people live there!
