@@mhaas281 Rent is been driven up from other wealthy Mexicans flowing into this city from other States in Mexico. They're moving here for the safety factor here. Foreigners make up less than 1/2 a percent of the folks living here. And, the average American's social security check is $1,700/month (not much for them to come and live the high life). Everyone need a scapegoat and foreigners get the blame. But the overwhelming majority of folks flowing in are middle class and wealthy Mexicans from other parts of Mexico. I live in an upscale privada with over 400 houses (4 foreigners live here ... the other 396 are Mexican nationals). I assure you the prices didn't go up because of us.
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 .
If you do move to a foreign country, do not try to change the culture, this is not the one you left behind, do research before you move to area , respect the culture
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 !!!😊❤❤
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..
@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
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
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...
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
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!
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.
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?
If you retire there and want to keep your SS benefits you need to maintain dual citizenship. So you have to live in US a certain amount of months a year. If you want to move expecting to work and pay less for rent…jobs are few and far between and pay is way lower than US. There is a reason people from Mexico are jumping our border.
Living in Mexico doesn't mean you lose your US citizenship (that's false). And, to live in Mexico full-time or part-time does NOT require you to have Mexican citizenship. You don't have to live in the US at to get your social security income (false again). In fact, Mexico is one of those places where you can have your SS income deposited directly into a Mexican bank account. Yes, jobs are few and far between for foreigners in Mexico, but the vast majority of US Citizens do not come to Mexico to work. There are over 1 million US Citizens living in Mexico part-time and full-time. Vast majority do NOT have Mexican citizenship. THe following statement is directly from the SS website: "If you are a U.S. citizen, you may receive your Social Security payments outside the U.S. as long as you are eligible for them." Here's a publication from the SS gov website: www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10137.pdf People have been living here for 5 and 7 years and have not stepped back on US soil and continue to receive their payments from SS ... It's important people get credible advice before listening to random people on the Internet.
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.
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…
@@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.
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.

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.

It’s in the state of Yucatán it’s very humid and hot so you will definitely be keeping the electric bill busy

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