I moved to Cabo San Lucas Mexico from Phoenix 2 years ago and it was the best decision. The weather is amazing with low humidity 10 months a year. Humidity was huge factor in my decision process. Cancun, Tulum, P.V. and every other beach location on the East Coast is horrible in terms of humid weather and seaweed and I didn't want to sweat the majority of the year.

It's probably the most expensive city in Mexico but it's absolutely beautiful. The culture, people, food and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are here.

I live in La Paz. Have been here 4+years and it’s been amazing!

I live 90 miles south of the California border in San Felipe, Baja CA. Love it on the beach, retired. Great internet, my house is 400 a month

Guadalajara: I had husband & wife friends. The wife had a chronic condition. They did medical tourism to Guadalajara, MX. They bought a condo there and the wife loved the city. They claimed the medical resources there were excellent and much less expensive than the USA. Many doctors in Guadalajara also had offices in Southern California.

Good move Alex, living in America has become so hostile & stressful just ain't what it used to be

[DavidCoxDallas]

this may be of little interest here but, one of the most important events in Earth history is widely accepted to have happened near Mérida: the Chicxulub impact some 66 mil years ago. this asteroid impact was not only what caused the many cenotes in Yucatan, it also caused a mass extinction, including the dinosaurs. Mammals, including people eventually, then took over as the dominant animals on Earth.

I like San Cristobal de las Casas. I went there initially as a border run from Guatemala, where I was living at Lake Atitlan.Visited with friends, long time expats. Fell in love with the colonial town in the mountains, surrounded with traditional indigenous textiles and traditions, and an expat community and not that far from international airport at Tuxla Gutiarez..

[dennishassler]

I really like Puerto Vallarta for the infrastructure and convenience of location - they are very supportive about the expat community. I love Huatulco, too, but it gets HOT there with direct sun.

[mellissaamberfernandez]

Coming from California a lot of our family agreed that Morelia felt very safe and adorable.

[jarrowmarrow]

Puerto Escondido is wonderful beautiful and compelling. You gotta talk about the climate though. It is hotter than Haidies for the majority of the middle of the day. And that’s during the cold time of year. You gotta love the roasting temps or you’re gonna have to move. But an absolutely lovely place.

You should do more videos like this one. If this isn't your best one, it is at least one of your best.

This is a great round-up!! I have only spent half a day in Queretaro (and we hung out the whole time!!) but I was blown away by how clean it is. I've been ALL OVER the country and it was the cleanest city I've seen. Puebla might be second. Also, I had no idea there were 60k people in Puerto Escondido?! How?! I think you might have missed Guanajuato City on the list, but let's just keep it a secret. 😉

Gosh, great vid. I am Jones'en for some Mexico! I swore I wouldn't live another year in North Carolina and this winter but here I am....Oaxaca looks like my place along with Puerto Escondido!! Every city was great, I am putting this vid in my favorites photo for researching for when I finally move to Mexico!

[mrbutch]

I would add the charming lakeside town of Ajijic near Guadalajara. Lots of retired American and Canadian live there and most people in the town speak English. For a rather small town it has a great restaurant scene.

[jd]

I was happy to see Mexico City on your list. I have been there and love it. I am very much oriented towards urban environments. That is the only place I would consider to live because there are enough museums and sights to keep me occupied.

[laura-bronner]

Love this so much! Cannot wait to talk about Baja California Sur and why it's the BEST with you next month! Would love to transport myself there right now tbh 🤣

[leemartinez]

It would be great to make an updated video on mortgage financing options available to foreigners. Maybe even a video on some of the advantages of living within a short drive to the US border, some cities could be MTY, Saltillo, Ensenada, Chihuahua.

Lifelong friends that I made in Mexico City, while on a fellowship in Mexico many years ago . . . moved to Morelia, Tepoztlan, Playa del Carmen (Campeche) and Merida. Of the four, my favorite is Tepoztlan, Morelos. It has a very pleasant climate year round and magnificent natural surroundings. However, it also has excellent expressway and bus connections to Mexico City. Tepoztlan is the most pedestrian friendly of the four, also. You can easily walk from the Centro to haciendas and farms.

I really like the short interviews with people who live in a variety of areas, plus you have your own opinion having visited these places So obviously you really landed in the beautiful Central Mexico, which it would seem the Mexican people appreciate even more than beach towns for their daily life. I think steering clear of beach towns for actually making a home, makes more sense... because We all need somewhere to "vacation" right? :) I am always surprised that Campeche is overlooked, but it is definitely on my radar! Thanks for your terrific list! <3
