Would be cool to show 3 levels of apartments. $400USD / $800USD / $1200USD. Those numbers r just estimates, adjust as needed.
Love that idea! And those are actually pretty common price points. Thanks for that suggestion, my friend.
I really enjoy your content. My partner and I will be arriving on the 25. We frequent Playa and absolutely love it.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching! Exciting about the upcoming trip! ❤️ 🏝️
Enjoy your trip. I love PDC & Cancun area. I'm trying to squeeze out a trip at end of May myself.
@@adaml2932 thank you! We always come back to Playa. We really enjoy the the energy of the city.
Super helpful, thank you!
My pleasure, glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching 😎🇲🇽
I noticed in other videos your Spanish pronunciation is really good. I like your videos. Keep em rolling. Your narrative is excellent
Muchísimas gracias hermano!! Me encanta el idioma 🇲🇽
Thanks for posting this! Needed to know what the area looks like. Maps and ads are just part of the story.
My pleasure, Walt! I’ll upload an updated version of this in the dead of low season and see what’s out there as far as rentals under $10-12,000mxn/month. Thanks for checking out my content, my friend!
Thanks for video. Very helpful.
My pleasure Lazaro, glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching 😎
Thanks for your videos! You provide a lot of value in your content and it’s at a perfect time for me as I’m heading to playa in July looking for a year lease. Colosio is #1 as you and my bro recommends
My pleasure Darien, happy to help! Thanks for the feedback and best of luck on the apartment hunt. I might drop an updated version before your arrival (hopefully by early July) featuring a few places I recently found. I’m in my current place until May, 2025, but am always curious to see what’s out there! I appreciate you checking out my channel 😎🇲🇽
Love that drum beat at beginning of video
Thanks man it felt right for the vibe! I appreciate you watching and hope you found some value in the video 😎
I think that you are doing a great service. And great info about the traffic on 10th, i didn't realize. We are going to rent from Oct to March while we search for our retirement home.
Glad you found the video helpful! My guess is that there will still be some good value to be had in October. Congrats on the upcoming trip and looking forward to
Your new retirement home. Very exciting! Thanks for watching and all the best to you folks!
Nice video! Facebook Marketplace can be a hit or miss as, unfortunately, many scammers advertising there. Basically asking for a deposit before even seeing the place (which doesn't even exists) and then run. So be careful folks!
Thanks for adding those words of caution!! I’ve found the same to be true with FB market and don’t even try anymore. Thanks for checking out the video!
I enjoy your content very much. We think we saw you three weeks ago!
Thank you Osvaldo for those kind words and for watching! I don’t doubt it haha, I’m always all over town! Where were you guys when you saw me? All the best to you!
We rented an e-bike and saw you in the Colosio area. We like the nude beach video, specifically the explanation about the sargasso
Another cool video,, thanks
Thanks for watching @thepassportlife!
IMO proximity to beach isn't as important as some may assume because even if ur farther away & have a colectivo stop nearby you can get to the beach cheaply. Most people arent at the beach daily.
You can save thousands of pesos per month being little farther away & spend a couple hundred pesos tops to get there. Taxis r also cheap for residents if you know basic Spanish.
Absolutely! And a $1,500mxn bicycle will do the trick too 😎. Those can be found alllll day on FB mkt.
Thanks for the video. Do you know how rent prices seem in July/August? I should be there with the family in July and plan to rent an AIRBNB for a month so we can house hunt in person for a more long term rental. Its great to see that some places include utilities! Also, any input on the areas of town that seem to have the best internet or is that hit and miss? Thanks!
My pleasure! All great questions! The internet one is a tough one because it seems generally weak all over town…Izzy seems to be the worst company but also the most ubiquitous unfortunately. It takes me about two hours to upload a 17 minute RUclips video 🙄. For that reason I think there are less nomads here than there could be.
The rents (as far as independently listed apartments) in July/August should be low and supply high, but Airbnbs here seem to stay on the high side year round (largely due to taxes and even higher fees as they are now a publicly traded company). That being said, some of them DO offer a monthly discount and if you’re only doing it for a month while house hunting, I’m sure it won’t break the bank.
Thanks for watching and happy travels 🏝️😎🇲🇽
How WILD is this? I was literally getting my phone to ask you about safety for solo female travelers or digital nomads at 5th and 60th as I heard it could get sketchy and there seem to be mixed reviews. I think you've answered it, and I think that with time it will get more developed like the old 5th avenue
Crazy!! Glad the video answered some questions for you Jiji! I tend to agree to your point on that part of 5th becoming safer as it becomes more developed. That definitely seems to be the trend, with new coffee shops, yoga studios and pastry places popping up it feels safer with the extra foot traffic. I do notice that a lot of the single females in the area have dogs (some of them very big) which definitely helps the safety aspect too. Thanks for watching ❤️
Hi nice video. Do you get paid for featuring any apartments? Orr get reduced rent ? Is it profitable for you to show apartments ? Nice video
Great question! Not on this particular video but in the past on IG I’ve worked out some deals like that with rentals and various businesses. Definitely some perks from Jorge for that quesadilla video too lol he’s been feeding me well 😜. Thanks for watching and checking out the channel! 👊🏼
I have a couple friends who live in Colosio and while it's cheaper than centro it's not nearly as convenient. For example, another friend lives on calle 6 with ave 45 and pays 11,000 with gas and wifi included. Has a pool and it's walkable to everything including Walmart, Chedraui and the colectivos going north and south.
On 45th… a block from the highway 😬..Thats a solid price no doubt, but too close to the federal highway for my liking… the traffic noise and amount of exhaust in the air is next level. While it definitely IS closer to Walmart than Colosio, we do have a Chedraui not far on 10th Ave (less than a mile from our place). Thanks for checking out the video 😎🇲🇽
@theropemonster I stayed there for a month this past spring. No exhaust smell and couldn't hear the highway. The woodsy block from ave 45 to ave 50 must block the sound. Calle 6 does have a lot of traffic but the norte bis streets are quiet (2, 4 and 6)
@@Ecsugrad27 nice that’s great to know!! Thanks so much for that contribution here regarding the rentals and specifics about that neighborhood!
It’s so expensive now ago 1000$- 1200$ months why I’m try buy condo for my retirement in next year
Great plan to buy a condo! Let us know here in the comments what you find and at what price! Thanks for watching 😎
16:21 the $6500MXN, is that a 1 year lease or only a low season lease?
I was told 1,3,6 month or 1 year are all possible.
@@theropemonsterat same rate or does rate increase if you go 1 year in order to include busy season?
@@adaml2932 I’ve found that it’s the same rate at all these places including my own for the 1 year! Nice strategy to lock in that rate for next high season 😎🏝️
Overs 800$ is far too expensive.
Completely agree! I’m currently paying under $400 and love my place. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼.
Do you help people find a place for a fee?
No, not currently… I’m mostly just trying to help people see what’s out there and to help them not overpay and drive prices up. I had heard of enough expats paying $2,000 up to $4,000 usd and that motivated me to start this series regarding rents. I will be doing a new video soon featuring some new places. Thanks for checking out the video 😎
@@theropemonster I used to live in Playa years ago. All the places I used to stay are now double the price. It's good to know that there are still good deals to be had.
Honey Suites, at 5th n 60th. Studio 20K pesos.
Thanks for that contribution Don! Good to know. That location is killer but for $20k it had better be the most baller studio in PDC 😅
I would expect to pay 1500
slams
10th avenue isn’t 2 minutes from
The beach you’re like 8 minutes away and don’t be shocked if there’s a limit on how much electricity you can use over a certain amount they will charge you. And what’s the point of going there in the low season the beach is nasty full of sargassum and smells. 10th avenue is wicked loud what are you talking about. Don’t take advice from this guy he doesn’t know anything about playa del carmen
lol I literally said I won’t live on 10th Ave because of the noise so…maybe you misunderstood me.
I’ve had rental contracts in MX in the past with “all services included”. They can’t legally charge you unless there’s a clause stating a specific limit.
And yes, that part of 10th that I was on is 2 minutes from the entrance to Playa 72. Facts.
Go gentrify someone else's neighborhood
The point is NOT to gentrify THE NEIGHBORHOOD. It’s to keep people from OVERPAYING AND DRIVING UP PRICES. Which would ACTUALLY gentrify the neighborhood. You want people coming down and paying $2,000-4,000usd/month? Would that be better?
I'm curious to know if landlords generally return deposits there or is it a problem that they often don't?
Great question Nate. I’ve been very selective of my landlords (making sure there’s good rapport) over the years and so I have typically gotten mine back here in MX. But I’ve heard a lot of folks say the opposite.. it was very common in Vallarta at least to hear stories of people not getting their deposits back. I would say this: a bad landlord is as easy to recognize as a bad taxista. You can just tell (usually) if someone is going to try to rip you off. You may have just inspired me to do a video on this subject. Thanks for watching, my friend!
@@theropemonster Thanks! appreciate the info.
You sure do a LOT OF WALKING and yes it's good for you
BUT have you considered an eBike with fat tires ?
Wish they were not so expensive where I am but they ARE cheap in the US
An eBike would be amazing here! Looking at electric scooters like the Ninebot by Segway recently. Walking 8-10 miles/day can be hard on the feet for sure! Thanks for watching my friend and I really appreciate the recommendation 🙏🏼
@@theropemonster I would guess Walmart and Costco would have them, not sure it the prices would be as low as is in the US or not.
I like this guy in Venice CA for his eBike videos

300 a month would be better. Thailand is better.
Yea, there are plenty of places in Mexico (Like Chiapas) where you can get much cheaper places than in Playa Del Carmen. No doubt though you can get a much higher quality place for the money in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia etc. Thanks for watching 😎🏝️
