Hi, thanks for the video. It is very helpful. Can you expand on how you found this awesome apartment? I come to Playa often and would like to know how to do what you did. Thanks!
I was in Playa alone for 10 days on a dental vacay. I loved it, except for the Sargassim seaweed they're overrun with, which ruined the beach experience. Would love to spend more time there.
I am considering moving to either Merida or Playa. Ive heard Playa,while hot is not as bad as Merida and also less bug activity. Can you shed some light on that? Thank you
Merida is hotter. As far as bugs honestly it’s never really been a problem for me. we have our apartment fumigated every so often so that takes care of the problem. if your choosing between playa and Merida your deciding factor will probably be how important living by the beach is
Thanks so much for sharing with your Playa de Carmen apartment. I actually have a few questions but I’ll start with one: how did you find your apartment- a service, a friend, chance… how does one go about finding a place?
Happy here in Querétaro at age 79 , with 60 years visiting and living. In Acapulco. USA is too deadly and expensive. The weather is cool, and the city is safe.clean, and beautiful.
Wow I mean WOW. How did you find a beautiful Apartment for an affordable price. How far are you from the beach. I would like to retire in Playa del Carmen. Beautiful beach and quiet place.
it’s outside of the central zone in real Ibiza about 2-3 miles from the beach. but also we rented it while Covid was still a thing so prices were down. I’m sure costs have prolly gone up since then
@@benaroundtheworld7847 thank you so much for the reply. One thing I think that is hard to find is sources for listings outside of FB marketplace and AirBNB..... any hot tips?
look up different playa Del Carmen expat groups on Facebook including ones for just apartments rentals and make posts of what specifically what you are looking for and you will get results. also you can just take a walk and you will see tons of numbers posted outside of different apartments and complexes that have places for rent.
it’s in the residential area of real Ibiza by the mall las americas. we actually found it on Facebook. there are a few fb groups for rentals and properties
this apartment was about 3 miles from the beach so walking would take to long. the advantages of being that far out is everything is much cheaper. to live by the beach for the same price would only get you a studio apartment.
@@benaroundtheworld7847 true. I would imagine if the taxes are cheaper lol. Are you near a bus route? I couldn’t hear the name of the neighborhood. I’m in Cuernavaca now but I would love to be at the beach - maybe not on - but 3 miles away would be wonderful!!
How did you find it? In Vallarta they have a little book called Mano a Mano where they sell, rent, advertise, etc. But there’s nothing here in Cuernavaca like that and I’ve not hear of anything like that anywhere else. Is it just walk the neighborhoods and look?
Using the word “cheap” is very derogatory and rude to the Mexican People and Culture. Who is it “cheap” for? There are more respectful words to use like: Affordable, less expensive, lower cost, comfortable etc…Since you are living in Mexico and not just a “tourist”, it is more respectful (which I am quite sure you would like to be respectful to people in another country) to use any other words besides “Cheap”. Thank You
this apartment did allow pets yes. playa is a pretty pet friendly place so it’s not uncommon. however not every place will allow them so make sure you find out ahead of time
Where did you emmigrate from in the USA? The space looks tiny. Did you need to acclimate to less home square footage or was your move from someplace similar in size? I'm in NE Wisconsin feeling claustrophobic watching the video and have a few other sincere questions: *Does it feel like "home" to you? *What's it like finding employment if fluent in Spanish? *What's the prognosis for employment if not fluent in Spanish? *How long does it take before your body acclimates enough so you can drink water from any faucet? *Are you in a gated apartment building? How far from a city does one need to be to live confident of their safety without gated entry or extra security over doors/windows? *Where are the bowling alleys and movie theaters? (I've never spotted any when visiting Mexico but surely they exist.) *What do you love most about Mexico being your new home? THANKS in advance for answering. =)
Wish I lived in Mexico thanks for sharing
you can make it happen
Excellent! I'd be happy by myself in even a 1 br. That's close enough to the beach too!
if you are by yourself and don’t need a lot of space you can get a really nice studio REALLY close to the beach for the same price
you’ll get less space for the money but you’ll be super close to everything
That would be perfect. Thanks for information!!
Woooow amazing place!!!

facebook.com/groups/1052466108154610/?ref=share we found this apartment month to month on a playa Facebook group
Beautiful apartment 😊when you get the apartment, I check Arbinb is very expensive 😊have a great day and beautiful stay 😊
Thank you!
very nice apartment
I was in Playa alone for 10 days on a dental vacay. I loved it, except for the Sargassim seaweed they're overrun with, which ruined the beach experience. Would love to spend more time there.
yeah when the seaweed rolls in its awful
Did you see Dr Gill? We just did the same.
Thank you very much for a detailed review!
thank you!
Very nice and informative video, since the video is older today Is June 11, 2023 how much are monthly rentals for the complex now.
I moved out and now live a couple hours outside playa where prices are lower. the price of this place likely has gone up, but how much I couldn’t say
Really good job!
thank you!
Wow thank u for sharing what u pay! Awesome!
thank you!
Thank You for sharing 🙏

Thanks for the tour I’ve been to playa I love Playa and I could live there. But could anyone one recommend a good dentist there? Thanks
dental work is a lot cheaper in Mexico and in places like playa you will find English speaking dentists if you need one
Thanks so much for sharing with your Playa de Carmen apartment. I actually have a few questions but I’ll start with one: how did you find your apartment- a service, a friend, chance… how does one go about finding a place?
there is a Facebook group rentals in playa Del Carmen. that is a great way to find a place in the area, also by using Facebook marketplace
Happy here in Querétaro at age 79 , with 60 years visiting and living. In Acapulco. USA is too deadly and expensive. The weather is cool, and the city is safe.clean, and beautiful.
yes the US is getting far too expensive! glad you are enjoying your time in Mexico
this apartment probably went up alrealdy, today is july 15 2022. SUPER NICE PLACE FOR THE PRICE
possibly but it’s a few miles from the the tourist district so it’s possible it’s not as affected by the rising prices in the area
@@benaroundtheworld7847 are you still there?
Wow I mean WOW. How did you find a beautiful Apartment for an affordable price. How far are you from the beach. I would like to retire in Playa del Carmen. Beautiful beach and quiet place.

Thanks Ben! Been looking at PDC for a while. Mind me asking, how is your internet speed? Reliable? That's a must for me
absolutely. my girlfriend and I had both work online so fast internet was a must
@@benaroundtheworld7847 thank you so much for the reply. One thing I think that is hard to find is sources for listings outside of FB marketplace and AirBNB..... any hot tips?
look up different playa Del Carmen expat groups on Facebook including ones for just apartments rentals and make posts of what specifically what you are looking for and you will get results. also you can just take a walk and you will see tons of numbers posted outside of different apartments and complexes that have places for rent.
@@benaroundtheworld7847 What do you do online? teach
my girlfriend teaches online and I do affiliate marketing through digital products
Hi, I would like to know where is located that depts complex ? And how you got it? Thanks
it’s in the residential area of real Ibiza by the mall las americas. we actually found it on Facebook. there are a few fb groups for rentals and properties
Nice apt.
How do you find places fully furnished? Ive been looking but ive only been focused on the price so far haha
Airbnb or Facebook marketplace
Nice place for only 450/month
I know right! and playa is actually considered a more expensive city by Mexican standards
Very nice. How did you find this place? Is the language there mainly Spanish?
You are so beautiful to me and funny . Thanks great place
How much is your electric bill each month?
at this apartment it was about 30 bucks a month. and that’s with three air conditioners
Where do I sign up!!!
So it’s furnished?
fully furnished and equipped… kitchenware, appliances, everything!!
Does it have a parking spot?
yes it does! it’s a gated complex and every apartment has a designated parking spot in front of it
Oh yes, and what about security ?
it’s a gated apartment complex, pretty secure. definitely safer than the centro area
How did you find such a great place? Do tell! TIA
I found it on Facebook group rentas playa
Is a car needed?.
not really. especially if you live in centro, but even in real Ibiza we took collectivos and taxis very cheap
How long is your rental contract?
no contract. month to month
Traffic noise seems very problematic?
Did you use a realtor or by word of mouth ?
we found a realtor on a Facebook group rentas in playa Del carmen
That is a beautiful apartment! Do you walk to the beach? Is it to the west or to the north of beach?
this apartment was about 3 miles from the beach so walking would take to long. the advantages of being that far out is everything is much cheaper. to live by the beach for the same price would only get you a studio apartment.
@@benaroundtheworld7847 true. I would imagine if the taxes are cheaper lol. Are you near a bus route? I couldn’t hear the name of the neighborhood. I’m in Cuernavaca now but I would love to be at the beach - maybe not on - but 3 miles away would be wonderful!!
the neighborhood is real Ibiza, it’s by las americas. and yes super easy to get to centro and the beach by bus or collectivo
@@benaroundtheworld7847 love that idea!! I’ll have to think about that some more!
How did you find it? In Vallarta they have a little book called Mano a Mano where they sell, rent, advertise, etc. But there’s nothing here in Cuernavaca like that and I’ve not hear of anything like that anywhere else. Is it just walk the neighborhoods and look?

good looks. I will try to be more careful with my words
@@benaroundtheworld7847 🤙🏽
Dude im in playa too, got a place in Misión del Carmen now for $550 but looking for another place , got any recommendations?
do you wanna be closer to the center? how long will you be?
@@benaroundtheworld7847 yes I’m trying to get a little closer to the beach. I’ll be here for a few months probably till July
Hi can i rent this
Name of place please
real Ibiza residential community in playa Del carmen
everything i need plus,dothey allow a pett
this apartment did allow pets yes. playa is a pretty pet friendly place so it’s not uncommon. however not every place will allow them so make sure you find out ahead of time
Use the word AFFORDABLE not cheap.
good call

THANKS in advance for answering. =)
Really Wisconsin? U sound like the typical ignorant people who live there.
Could you tell me how to spell the name of the neighbourhood please. I can't quite catch it - old fart syndrome :o)
Real Ibiza! it’s a residential neighborhood a few miles from the beach
@@benaroundtheworld7847 Is that near the ADO bus station ?
no, the ADO stations are in centro
Real ibiza is about 12000 peso plus utilities and not the most desirable area. You can hear the traffic noise in the video
Wow! Are those apartments built for americans? Mexicans make 7usd a day!
(american people thought)
Everything is not much much cheaper in Mexico
Lol this guy is so lying! Playa is not cheap i know i lived there. Its a tourist town and priced accordingly!
So you walk with sandy feet, through the house just to wash them off outside....
🤔
We get it already, you have a girlfriend 😒 you've only said it 28 times
What's with your arms waving every 15 seconds ?
Maybe you can have your girlfriend infront of the camera next time.
stop it with the nastiness already! he's not here to be your friend - he's showing his apartment to share.
