We used to live there. The great thing is there are guys on bikes and scooters everyday that sell fruit n veggies, or fish, and tortillas. You get to know their sounds . I really miss it .
Great video! This is exactly how Puerto Morelos used to look just a few years ago before the expat boom. It's not going to be so quiet and sleepy for too much longer. Looks like the area is already under construction.
Wow, this is awesome! This would be thousands to rent in the U.S. what an amazing deal and I love that there is a beach view. Thank you for sharing this.
Take it from someone who knows; not all is paradise on the Yucatan Coast beach towns, sometimes days without electricity. Not because of storms, just the way of life. Can be very uncomfortable when the temperature soars above 40C. Rent before you buy, you won't regret it. All is not paradise here
That was a very nice apartment, and being on the beach like that should keep things cool so she won't have to run the A/C which will keep the electric bill down.
My wife and I are really excited to be moving to Playa Del Carmen in October when our house is finished being built. Where else in the world you can retire at 42, have a house totally paid off and be next to the beach? So excited. My wife is from Pachuca all her family lives there but she wants to live by the beach
You can’t own within a certain distance of the coastline without having a trust set up. However my wife is also a Mexican citizen so we don’t need a trust.
@qianaclayton4156 that depends on what level you want to eat at. Or of you go to super market or the specialty ships. They have meat & produce and fruit and vegetables shops it's great! I use to get 3 beef tacos & Mexican coke for $4 . 3 40 Oz beers with the return bottles and 10 pack of cigarettes was $5-7 dollars. Hair cut $8 2 bedroom furnished with AC 5 minutes to beach $300 Single person can live large on $1,000,-1,500
There’s an entire generation coming close to retirement that cannot afford to remain in the US and I’m one of them. I’m already looking overseas and considering Mexico. I gravitate towards small cities but this looks admittedly stunning.
We should ban colonizers from coming into our lands. Since they stole our country and ruined it. This is Indian nation. Then they want to come deeper into our territories to ruin it again. Europe is the best place. I hope Mexico bans white people from coming into our lands bringing racism and hate. Next thing they’ll take over our government.
I was there with the wife a couple of months ago. it's very quiet town and beautiful in it's own way. If you're looking for quiet this town has it! Thank you Cartess!!!
This is our dream. I have a few years until I retire. My retirement works on 80 rule. Age plus years of service must equal 80. Then you can retire with full benefits. Currently we travel to Mexico 🇲🇽 every chance we get. It’s the most beautiful place to visit. My wife loves the beach. 🏖️ we will at the very least live par time in Mexico. We are considering dual residency but still need to learn more about it. I am subscribing to your channel so I can learn more about these amazing places. You are living the dream my man while helping others do the same. I wish you the best and success in everything you do.
Progresso used to be a cruise ship stop for many cruise lines many years ago,and one of Carnivals favorite,I was on The Celebration over 30 years ago when it made that stop...The town was hopping then,now it has become a ghost town...
I wouldn't call it a ghost town. Cruise lines still come through and they're pretty busy and packed on the weekends especially (and on days when the cruise ships pull into port)
It looked nice to me there was other people out. Cruise ships coming all the time would probably make the area too touristy and unaffordable. Like i love costa maya and Cozumel but I’m guessing it’s not affordable to live in any of those cruise ship towns and there’s probably no jobs available that don’t relate to the tourism industry. I think i would really need a good remote job to move there.
@@lexa_power Yes,i have no interest in going to The Yucatan anymore,it has gotten very expensive,have been going there for almost 50 years, every year,sometimes 3-4 times...did a lot of diving...Even Holbox now..
That place is awesome hopefully they have more like this in the area ready to move in that way selling in America is easy and you just bring yourself love it !!!😊❤❤
Good video! What would you say an average price, for a long term rental, might be for a 1BR in all those various complexes that are right on the beach?
I want to live there!!!! OMG!!!! Amazing!!! I've just got a couple years left to work and save to retire. It was between Mexico and Vietnam but Mexico has me sold. My Spanish is better than my Vietnamese anyway. LOL
Look into the city of Merida (it's the 2nd safest city in all of North America (Canada, Mexico and US). This town is about 25 minutes away from Merida. It's very very safe here. We've been here for 3-years with my daughters and wife. I would never put them in harms way. Very safe and they go about doing all the things they like. They're 15, 17 and 21 now
Question is? How safe is it there? Is your vehicle safe? A lot of Cartel running Mexico! Or is it a community thats not safe to wander away from? Just like the Resorts don't go to far or your on your own. Id love to save tons of money on Housing, Food , Medical, medication etc but cheap always comes with a Price.😮
Cost of living in Mexico is low, okay, but it doesn't help, because one can not get in easily due to the fact that Financial Requirements for the Retirement Visa are very high!
Look into the Regularization Visa - basically if you've been to Mexico at least once I think since 2018- you can get a temp residency and not have to show income- you must be on an expired tourism visa and you can do this within the country. They launched this when many expats were there for a while during Covid and couldn't easily get back home or didn't want to.
@@Mexicobeanpole Agreed. I saw others that was worse and they're charging $2000 USD 2 blocks up the street. I'll take the dated for $550 'Alex' jejeje ... I just care about and want the beach :)
Hurricanes are the least of your worries. You should be more worried about the crimes against Americans (kidnappings, robberies, and outright murder). Just two days ago, 1 American and 2 of his friends were shot in the head, execution style, just for their truck. It's been all over the news. Google "Surfers killed in Mexico". Attacks against Americans are COMMON in Mexico.
Busy season is over (snowbirds start leaving around March/April to return to their home countries). Most of the places on the beach are short-term rentals/AirBnBs. Folks will occupy them on the weekends until busy season returns.
If tgis is just outside Merida, YUCATAN, for about 6 months, it's 110 degrees F with humidity at 100! It's beautiful but I couldn't handle this two together!!! And that was in April.
Sorry but I have lived in Mexico for 12years years it's now about the same as the United States and the new government is very scary now be careful things are changing in Mexico
Does anyone know if a tenant is able to purchase their own furniture in places that are already furnished? I love this place but I would want my own decor and furniture. I’m wondering how that works…
Varies on how much you consume. I've seen folks pay only about $50-$75 USD every 2 months, and I've seen others spend as much as $400 USD every 2 months.
I have been going to Mexico for 45 plus years,three to four times yearly...I was a diving instructor and took lots of tours there,especially Cozumel...Rent might be reasonable,but the prices of everything else is very expensive,much than the USA..Before covid,things were still cheap...
Hello Im 65 and just started thinking about trying to find better cheaper for my wife and I to live on 2,600 hundred Social Security incom monthly. Im American but this Country is not the sane Country as it was when I was young. Im trying to find somewhere nice cheep and safe. You said 550 a month two bedroom appartmentscon tbe beach? Whats the cautch,?

if u believe that, u deserve what u get
Hello, is there any land close to the beach like the video for sale?
thank you for this! how much would it be to buy a property close to the beach similar to this or like a 10 min walk away?
Hey how’s is it. I was thinking but moving and was wondering how do I when I get too the island
We used to live there. The great thing is there are guys on bikes and scooters everyday that sell fruit n veggies, or fish, and tortillas. You get to know their sounds . I really miss it .
My kinda spot :)
Were is this
Why did you leave?
this is beautiful ❤
Sure
my cousin moved 8 months ago to oaxaca from the USA , I am seriously considering to go as well.. I love it there !!!!!!!!!
Do it
How would you get medical care?
@@melaniesimms7320when were there the doctor took donations
Zipolite Beach
@melaniesimms7320 It is better and 20% of the cost.

Simple life = Happy life in Mexico 🇲🇽
Yes.
Help I don't know what I'm doing on this phone or the internet so I don't know how we would communicate
This is an incredible value. At some point in life, this is the kind of place I see myself living.
Amen

Exactamente :)
Yucatan gets very hot and humid. Trust, you will need that AC at times.
It’s in the state of Yucatán it’s very humid and hot so you will definitely be keeping the electric bill busy
My wife and I are really excited to be moving to Playa Del Carmen in October when our house is finished being built. Where else in the world you can retire at 42, have a house totally paid off and be next to the beach? So excited. My wife is from Pachuca all her family lives there but she wants to live by the beach
I tought you couldn't own property in Mexico unless you were a citizen.
You can’t own within a certain distance of the coastline without having a trust set up. However my wife is also a Mexican citizen so we don’t need a trust.
Thanks!
You are too kind. I appreciate it. Gonna grab some fresh shrimp and fish tacos with it. Thank u
Wow! We talking soon. I will be there June ( look around) moving in October if not sooner! 😁😊
I knew u would like this
Same! We're visiting in June and moving in October! 🎉
I’m jealous!!!! Keep us all posted on your move!
Wow! Living in Cali i didnt think places like this still existed lol
Absolutely. All over the world (outside of the US). A condo like this in Florida would easily go for $3000+ per month plus association fees
yeh, me too. I'm leaving very soon:)
This looks amazing!!! This is the dream. Good to know about how to order delivery from the guys on bikes!
I lived in Puerto morelos and its very affordable too!
Would you give examples on the cost of food in US dollars $?
@qianaclayton4156 that depends on what level you want to eat at. Or of you go to super market or the specialty ships. They have meat & produce and fruit and vegetables shops it's great!
I use to get 3 beef tacos & Mexican coke for $4 . 3 40 Oz beers with the return bottles and 10 pack of cigarettes was $5-7 dollars. Hair cut $8

Check out Mérida and its surrounding areas. Considered the 2nd safest city in the US, Canada and Mexico. Lots of affordable options here.

No Europe is the best place for you. Don’t come ruining Indian nation again.
GREAT VIDEO MY BROTHER 💯
I appreciate it!
Blows my mind! Makes me reconsider everything I know I want. As a solo person its too remote. I need the city and all it offers, but damn. Damn.
jejeje ... decisions decisions decisions
Unbelievable! I am glad I found your video. Planning to relocate to Mexico
I was there with the wife a couple of months ago. it's very quiet town and beautiful in it's own way. If you're looking for quiet this town has it! Thank you Cartess!!!

The bike we call triciclos nice video my friend lm from yucatan

No elevator.
@@MoveAbroadandThrive Ok. Great exercise I spose. Jajajajaja
Great video, I appreciate the in depth video of the options in Mexico.
Our pleasure!
Good morning , what is the exact location please and thank you . I would like to decide right now based on that. Happy Thursday
I just bought 5 minutes from the beach can't wait
awesome
in this same area? how did you find your property? congrats:)
We appreciate you doing what you do thanks for showing us all another way that we can live. Enjoy the coffee ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏
That is so kind of you. I appreciate that. Thank you mucho!
Im mature enough to admit I'm jealous 😢 but Happy for you Sis..please enjoy 😉.
🙌🙌🙌
I want that apartment! It’s PERFECT! Is this area close to Merida?
About 30 minutes
I like it
Unbelievable. Absolutely manageable 👌🏽👌🏽

You live near the sea, be prepared that all your metal objects rust like crazy. Cars motorcycles bicycles. One disadvantage.
Nice condo with an exceptional location!
Siii
I love that there’s no traffic
I will be there this Saturday. How do I get your assistance? I love this area
Congratulations 😁😁😁
@that1chocolatechuc728 Unfortunately, you're a bit late 😢 we had to book our June neighborhood tour with him back in March
E-mail us: support@moveabroadandthrive.com
I saw this months ago I want this apartment I hope it's still available when I'm ready to come I'm trying to get plans to come real soon
beautiful!!! But definitely need to figure out how to get a car down there....that is not walkable .
A bicycle would have u in the center in under 5-minutes (others ride atv)
Is it easy or is bus service available? And are there stores nearby?
From watching yr videos wondering if a car is needed.
There are combis and the scooters with front seats . Having a bike is good. They have everything there, but even more in Progreso
Car would be nice. But a bicycle will get you all around that place without any issues. Be in the center of Chicxulub on a bike in under 5 minutes
Owner just told me transport vans/buses pass by condo every 5-10 minutes and take u to the center of Chicxulub (can also take to Progreso)
@@MoveAbroadandThrivehow much does the bus cost? Is it safe for women?
@@lexa_power yes safety for women is so important
That place is awesome hopefully they have more like this in the area ready to move in that way selling in America is easy and you just bring yourself love it !!!😊❤❤
❤❤❤
Nice tour of the town next to Progresso!!! Thanks! Looks clean and safe.
Is this chiklu in progreso what is the name of this beautiful beach town good spot you found❤
Chicxulub
Toes in the sand, just walking distance from the unit! Cool!
Good video! What would you say an average price, for a long term rental, might be for a 1BR in all those various complexes that are right on the beach?
$550 a month? Are you serious..I want to move there..
It's waiting for you :)
Me too 😅.
Can you give me more info on how I can do this
Love ur videos!! Please keep me informed. I will be moving to Mayakoba. The south side by Tulum
Forget that message that's wrong sorry about that
I want to live there!!!! OMG!!!! Amazing!!! I've just got a couple years left to work and save to retire. It was between Mexico and Vietnam but Mexico has me sold. My Spanish is better than my Vietnamese anyway. LOL
Closer to the US in case u need to get back without losing all the money you saved on airline tickets back to US ... Mexico is awesome
Welcome
Why are there bars an the ground floor windows?
I am always worried about the crime after seeing all the media about the cartels. Are they active in that area or is it relatively safe there?
Look into the city of Merida (it's the 2nd safest city in all of North America (Canada, Mexico and US). This town is about 25 minutes away from Merida. It's very very safe here. We've been here for 3-years with my daughters and wife. I would never put them in harms way. Very safe and they go about doing all the things they like. They're 15, 17 and 21 now
sunrise to right , sunset to left,,, depending on the season
Looking at google map, Chixulub is not by the ocean. It looks to be at a 20-30 min distance from the ocean.
Hello, beautiful apt. What about the dreaded HOA? Didn't hear it mentioned. Thanks...
I have arthritis. Stairs are difficult.
Ugh, 😢 I want to live there when I retire 🙏🙏

I understand. Like all other countries, they set guidelines to control the influx of people.

Thailand condos. Same price but you get much more. And it is much safer.
Wow
But flying home to see family is a real production. Terribly long flights.
Where exactly in Thailand?
@@achiengdeji Jomtien is the obvious example but there are many choices.
I just scanned the area and a similar looking condo near Progreso is roughly $1000 USD a month for long term rent. Asia is better.
Looks great just wonder if it's furnished they can turn you out if they want a rent increase, anyone know ?
Is this a hurricane prone area? Might be scary to be this close. But really nice, but kinda of dated.
Doesn't get hit often.
For $550 it’s not at all dated. That’s $2500 in my little Florida beach town. With mildewed furniture. Lol.
@@Mexicobeanpole Agreed. I saw others that was worse and they're charging $2000 USD 2 blocks up the street. I'll take the dated for $550 'Alex' jejeje ... I just care about and want the beach :)

Girl bye....Americans will live in a closet in America paying 3500 but calling something dated to live in paradise.
Why was there only one car parked on That parking lot. Something seems very weird about that
Busy season is over (snowbirds start leaving around March/April to return to their home countries). Most of the places on the beach are short-term rentals/AirBnBs. Folks will occupy them on the weekends until busy season returns.
Oh my goodness this is awesome. I most definitely would like a beachfront rental. Maybe unfurnished
3 people in the USA have more money than 160 million of their fellow citizens combined.
The famous 1% 🫤
Love the desing consept
rent increases? how do those usually go? Anytime, any amount?
Typically 5% each year
The financial criteria for a permanent residency is fairly high.
is there fiber optic internet to plug into?
If tgis is just outside Merida, YUCATAN, for about 6 months, it's 110 degrees F with humidity at 100! It's beautiful but I couldn't handle this two together!!! And that was in April.
Great video!
I have family there. Beautiful warm clear waters.
I reside in California Cant wait ti sale my house
and buy a house in Baja to never come backl
I’m wondering where the music was coming from when you were inside the apartment. Mexico can be so noisy.
So how about walking distance but not on the beach?
15-20 minute walk to town center
Sorry but I have lived in Mexico for 12years years it's now about the same as the United States and the new government is very scary now be careful things are changing in Mexico
Does anyone know if a tenant is able to purchase their own furniture in places that are already furnished? I love this place but I would want my own decor and furniture. I’m wondering how that works…
Do they have more than one
One left I believe
The water is not crystal clear, is not really swimable, check cancun with the same budget.
I wondered how those people that lived there did during the flood and the tropical storm?
Please give me some details,,,I am in Canada!!
Approx how much is electric each month in the summer? (Running the a/c.) Thanks for the tour!
Varies on how much you consume. I've seen folks pay only about $50-$75 USD every 2 months, and I've seen others spend as much as $400 USD every 2 months.
Where is that condo? Contact info for it would be great!
I have been going to Mexico for 45 plus years,three to four times yearly...I was a diving instructor and took lots of tours there,especially Cozumel...Rent might be reasonable,but the prices of everything else is very expensive,much than the USA..Before covid,things were still cheap...
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing.
Luv it!!! Hopefully one day, l will get a chance to visit...=)
:)
I haven't finished watching the video but where in Mexico is this and is this place shared with other tenants ?
It's in Chicxulub. Nope ... that was a 2 bedroom condo/apartment.
@@MoveAbroadandThrive OK man. Thanks for the reply. 👍That's really cheap.
Can you rent first to see if you want to buy?
Sure (up to the owner)
Streets always empty how businesses stay afloat
Due to the heat, the streets come alive in the late evening
Does the first condo have any available units?
Not any more available
B's it's now more expensive to live in Mexico than the United States..
How much is an apartment directly in front of the beach?
I’m not sure I’m understanding this. are we talking 550 a month For the condo or the cost of living is 550 a month.
$595/mo for the condo (conversion rate flucuates)
Is this unit or others in the building still available?
