Guadalajara, Mexico- Beautiful and Affordable Living 

I lived in GDL for seven months. Can't wait to go back. Loved it.

My Niece and her boyfriend just flew back from Guadalajara, Mexico. That was her first time, she loved it so much she says she wants to go back. I have been to GDL. but that was back in 1980 went with a couple of friends, even back then I loved it. It was so beautiful and green. Her boyfriend wants to buy property out there because he has family living there. Los Angeles is way too expensive to live for young couples. I keep telling them to save every penny you have, but things have changed since I was young. I bought a house here brand new in 1983 for $179,000 but I worked seven days a week back then and saved money. Now the house's here are selling for 1.2 million. The house across the street has the same floor plan as mine and it sold for 1.3 million recently. California is expensive to live.

I've been to GDL several times over the years. I've always enjoyed my time there. I was there last year and will be going back in a couple of weeks.

Watching from Fort Worth, TX.

We spent a week in GDL and loved it! But I was fixated on a place with small town vibes. None to little traffic, no hustle or bustle, just laid back but with the amenities of a variety of fruits and vegetables, great restaurants (including sidewalk vendors), museums, art supplies (I too am an artist!), neighborhoods that allow for knowing each other, creating community, families, and dogs (I have a service dog that must go with me everywhere!). So where then? Currently living in Huatulco but it is quickly being taken over with gentrification, pushing out the local Mexicans and expats living on fixed incomes, bringing with it the rude drivers of bigger cities, and a few unsavories with their scams and thefts. We used to be able to say HUX is the safest and most honest town in all of Mexico. Taxi drivers were known for driving around and round to find the passenger he'd just dropped off, who left their camera or bag in his taxi, and they continue to do it till the passenger is found. Not sure how that's handled these days, but you don't see these stories being shared on FB's Huatulco group much any more.

you really sold me to move to Guadalajara

I spent this past New Year's in GDL; I also visited Chapala and Ajijic. What a cool, chill city! I may come back next month to do a working vacation since the weather is perfect and its just a super short flight from my home in San Antonio.

I really enjoyed the video. I am sure putting something together for such a large town is difficult. What about banking in Mexico? Is it difficult to open an account? Can you get by without one?

I lived in GDL almost 15 years Back in the 90's and 2000's. I saw the city grow enormously. half of Zapopan did not exist back then. I lived in Providencia and the first apartment I had , I was paying only $80 us dollars for a 2 bedroom. The city was almost empty back then. I could have driven around the city in almost half an hour. Back then the best mall was La gran Plaza and Plaza Del sol, in fact They were the only malls in the city except for Plaza Patria and Mexico. There were few high rises in Povidencia only. The best car was Ford Mustang and Chevy corvette. I used to go everywhere with taxi which used to cost me around 10 or 15 pesos. it was cheaper than gas, and I believe bus ticket was around 1.5 pesos. everything was limited back then specially The amount of restaurants, bars around the city. There was only 2 sushi spots and 2 Chinese restaurant which were disgusting. on Sunday morning there were only 2 places to go, IHOP on ave Americas and Tortas Tonos in providencia. My favorite places to go after clubs were either tacos arabes or dogos manuel both on minerva. and the best taco place was on chapultepec. I can go on and on about Guadalajara. My favorite spot to go on sunday night was The glass house on ave vallarta in fornt of Yaquis in Plaza eximoda. I had the best of time in guadalajara and made lots of friends. Great memories

Wow thank you for this!! I will be visiting Guadalajara for el mes de agosto y estoy buscando un piso para un mes pero los Airbnbs están muy cara, puedes advisome?

Hola. Que me recomiendas. Que área para visitar. Es mi primera vez visitando. Voy en marzo no se en que área buscar hotel. Muchas gracias. !!!!

Going to be visiting friends in GDL soon and searching for info in youtube, stumbled upon ur channel and decided to follow. My friends will all be working the day I arrive and cant pick me up, id like to take an Uber but someone told me this is not possible in GDL airport that i have to walk out of the airport. is this true? and if so do you have a video on how to take Uber from GDL airport because i cant find anything on the subject. Suggestions will be greatly appreciated thank u.

To all US, and Canada people Mexico is a great place to retire any place in the Country just take time where you want to retire give it a weeks or months ask around for rentals you'll find cheaper places

feel good that Starlink is operating in Mexico as well, the price of $1,1100 MXN ($55 USD) monthly is much better than in the States (I believe it’s $120 in the States?), just wonder from the audience has anyone already been using Starlink in Mexico ? how is your personal experience with Starlink? is it fast and reliable? I’m asking this because planning to live relatively rural area of Mexico, the best part about Starlink is internet from the satélites not depending on any cable, so Starlink is operating in Mexico, and it should be covering the whole Mexico, in rural areas Starlink will have adavantages over traditional fiber internet companies, and I guess Starlink will be the only option in rural areas?

Do they have walmart (time sensitive)

B there in two weeks

What neighborhood would you say is the “La Roma” equivalent in Guadalajara as far as feel and construct

Would you be interested in chatting in person about Guadalajara and relocating?

How much do luttle houses cost to buy

I'd like to come tour and maybe buy a home in one of the small towns nearby.

What parts of Guadalajara have nice natural swimming areas?

I wanted to move there from Canada for the temperate climate but now I'm thinking it's too big. Is the weather in Lake Chapala the same?

How's the water situation? I heard that's been a problem recently or was it just a temporary problem?

*can I find a studio rent solo near Guadalajara under 300$ usd a month?*

Need some honest opinion: Would it be safe for Asian foreigner to live here? Any safety concerns?

Are there traditional apartments and houses in Guadalajara?

What if you don’t have an Aval?

The city can shut off services like the water and electricity for a "short period of time" to certain neighborhoods? How long can that be usually? Even if the city or landlord gives prior warning, it sounds highly inconvenient and might be dangerous? Maybe that's why Mariana moved to Texas?

I can't wait to visit that HUGE mercado and try all of those foods! ~Gina

excelente
