@@MexicoRelocationGuide I live just northeast of the centro district, in Esterito. I like living in town, I wouldn't want to live in Centenario or Gringoland north of town.
Hello there, I will be visiting this city and its good to know already locals. I like to see this area where you live if its where I prefer because I too like to live near town. How is rent there going for one bedroom. Thanks
Good video on our city. We moved here 5 years ago, and have never regretted relocating here. Noticed there was a possible error on house pricing in El Centenario, it was listed for sale at 17,000 pesos or was that intended to be the fee for monthly rent.

I think that entirely depends on the time of year. Stats show that to be incorrect. This year we have had a strong flow down the Pacific coast keeping us a little cooler and dryer We are on a 8 year drought right now and if we DON'T get a tropical cyclone we will run out of water in many municipalities on the coming winter. August through late September present the highest levels of humidity. This year we have yet (7/31/23) to have rain in La Paz, the last being Dec 5, 2021. Water delivery trucks have been suspended a couple of times and companies are not accepting any new clients. We have city water just 3hrs every other night, hopefully the will implement building moratoriums soon.
@@BajaInsider Appreciate your data driven reply! I should check the data before running my mouth. ☺ Scary news about the drought though. Hoping the rain comes soon - my sister in Cabo says they've been getting a little rain lately at least.
14:59 You can put photovoltaic panels at home, but since electricity is so cheap it is not a feasible investment, in summer the government pays a part of your electricity, you cannot sell the electricity but if you can self-supply only if you have commercial businesses it is advisable to put panels photovoltaic because in that case electricity is not subsidized, so electricity is more expensive and putting panels becomes a profitable option. -Engineer in Renewable Energy Sources living in La Paz.
Thank you so much for the video , I went to La Paz for three years different time and I finally bought an amazing penthouse and I’m so happy I did. When I come back to US where my home is I start missing La PZ from the same day that’s why I won’t put my lugage in the closet since I know I go back with in the next two weeks or less specialty specially to watch the sun rise and sunset from my balcony , I won’t change it with any place in the world. LOVE LOVE LOVE 💗
Perhaps we can do an interviuew with you about your experience buying a town home in Mexico and living in La Paz? email me please if you're interested Info@mexicorelocationguide.com
Great video. I’ve spent a couple of months in Puerto Vallarta and really enjoyed it. I’ll be heading to La Paz to dive and check out the town for a couple weeks at the end of October. Looking forward to it. Trying to decide where I might want to live :)
no... expats bring money from their home country, to live a retirement lifestyle in a foreign country. immigrants come to a foreign country, and expect to get a job within that country, and support themselves. BIG DIFFERENCE
Good evening Mariana. This is really a great video! It is so informative and well put together. Mexico and La Paz should be paying you a fee to do their marketing for them. Aside from that, this is really informative about the La Paz area! Thank you for sharing it! I've been to La Paz twice. I think if I were considering Baja California for our Mexico casa, La Paz would be it. The town is big enough to have the things we are looking for in where ever we end up coming to Mexico-- walkability to music, food, laundry, markets, and culture sites. And, a big enough airport to be able to travel back to the states or elsewhere in Central/South America. Of course, a short hop over to Mexico City could get you just about any location in the world. Safe travels!
HI, your video came in handy today because I am traveling in this part of Mexico for the firsttime. I want to see Cabo and La Paz and compare both cities before I decide to buy something there. Do you have a website to see your rental listing for La Paz or Cabo . Gracias J.C
Very good video. I have lived in La Paz for three years. Really there are many beautiful beaches around La Paz. I like all these beaches. Thank you for your video.
I absolutely enjoyed this video; last year, May 2021, we adventured to explore the peninsula of Baja California, I drove from San Francisco California to Cabo San Lucas, we spent a day in La Paz, it was very nice 👍🏽 TFS.
Well done! This format is so deeply useful. Many thanks to you and your team. Hoping to get there in order to complete the canje process this winter 🙏🏼
Excellent information. I’m currently living part time in Chapala. But I’m open to almost any place in Mexico by a large body of water. I think the ocean checks off that desire.
Thank you for the great video. Just returned from two weeks in LaPaz. The most beautiful magical place on earth! Looking at property in centenario. Going back in October!🏖🍹🙏
thanks a Billion, and it is so nice to hear you vouch for the healthcare in La Paz, would you also say Durango has the same level of care? thanks again
More and more La Paz is looking like the first place to call home in Mexico. It's so hard to decide, I want to try out a lot of places in the 4 years of temp residency. I love desert and beach. I have your guide and I'm sure this is answered - how easy is it to complete the canje process there?
Easy allow two weeks as it's not instant (I was there in April).....Visit #1; you will go & make an appointment. You will be asked to return (email) either that day or next for Visit #2. This is your photograph, fingerprints, & sign a few documents visit. Then you will return visit #3 in about ten days later to pick up your card. There is no same-day service like Mexico City. Arrive 30 minutes before opening; for those that don't expect 30 minutes waiting in line its not that long. - Good Luck :)
I'm between deciding on la paz and rosarito, pros with rosarito is the hour drive with sentry global pass to san diego for work, pros with la paz is it is more a mexican's mexico and i really appreciate a non overly foreign tourist beach vibe
We live in La Paz and are here permanently. WARNING: It is definitely not “dry desert climate” year round. From May to October the climate is grueling… very hot and humid throughout the city and rarely goes below 75 degrees at night. Most expats go elsewhere during this time. We’re going to try and tough it out this summer & see how we do. Thank goodness for AC… I don’t think we could handle the summer climate without it! It’s great weather in the winter though. Nice video, thanks :-)
@@chelleroberson3222 nope, we are from northern California where the summers are very hot (up to 105 at times) but it is bone dry (hence is wildfire country.) The zero humidity makes the high temps much easier to tolerate. La Paz in contrast is hot with high humidity 5 months a year. This makes it much more uncomfortable..Sweaty & sticky. Just trying to be helpful :-)
Hi Mariana, thank you for such an informative video. We recently purchased the Guide and have been watching your videos, which we love, and hoping to get out there soon. We have a few places in mind that we would like to visit (Ajijic, Chapala, PV, Playa del Carmen, San Miguel) but my husband is adamant that he wants to visit places that have nice golf courses. Would you be able to showcase some in these areas? Thank you in advance.
Thank you for buying the guide! Every one of the towns you have mentioned has nice golf courses. Any one of the relocation tour guides in those areas can take you to see them 😊
My beautiful peninsula, and the peaceful La Paz, everybody welcome! In regards your 1:40min comment: Baja Peninsula, is not part of California and historically "was" and "still" is part of Mexico. Unless I missing something I still have to show my Visa to visit US which I love to do also!!!
Lets get real, its hot and humid as hell and the aquifer is drying up, 8 years of drought and you get water for 3 hours a day every other day, what happens if you run out of water? I know you're trying to make money here but lets get real, real estate prices will plummet to nothing if you run out of water
That’s why I always talk about not letting the government manage your water. You should manage your own water. I’m not trying to convince anyone to move to La Paz. I’m showing them what it’s like
@@MexicoRelocationGuide how do you manage your own water? a cistern won't give you more water than for a few days at most and its filled by the city's water
Of course, ask the people that come from other country just LIKE francés italy or Canadá, they love the style of BAJANATIVE PEOPLE, so polite so quiet so géneros...
Yes several of them. They vary based on your budget. And also whether or not the staff speaks any English This one is highly rated facebook.com/MarazulEstancia?mibextid=LQQJ4d
I have a home in El Centenario and it's not very easy out there but in La Paz its very doable. The heat in the warmer months is going to be an issue. A bike with a rack and panniers for shopping would be a bit of a novelty down there, everyone drives if they can afford it. They've extended the bike path from the south part of town further and further north towards the beaches so that's a good thing if you're a distance rider. I'd take a serious look at the fresh water situation down there before considering living there.
The internet is great! But it can vary entirely on the neighborhood you end up living in. Before renting, make sure you test the speed of the house you are looking to rent.
Great informative video! My husband and I are looking to retire in La Paz. We want to rent a place first to see if is feasible. We visit will be in Cabo in August and are taking a day trip to La Paz.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide $17,000 pesos for a one bedroom apartment it’s not. I mean my house in Mexico City it’s $20,000 pesos and has 3 bedrooms and two floors.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide The Video started with salsa Music also called Afro Cuban played in Puerto rico Columbia Venuzuala Panama , Mexican music is rancho music . Mexicans play a polka music they got from the French .
It would be really helpful if you could refer to temperatures in Celsius, not Fahrenheit. Unless you are purposely gearing your services and channel to a U.S. audience and client base? Most of the world uses Celsius.
Beaches are way too hot! Vowed never to live anywhere where air conditioning is necessay! I live in Patzcuaro at 7,000 feet! Perfect climate all year round! 10 AM today, 79 degrees F, high expected 96F La Paz! Too hot! Patzcuaro, 63 degrees, high 73! Very pleasant!
@@MexicoRelocationGuide ! No one wants 90+ degrees heat! And those that want it have air conditioning! The rising sea and the relentless coming heat waves do not bode well for beachfront property anywhere!
@@j.whisper2379 not true, myself and many others find temps in the 90s to be very pleasant. In Phoenix AZ, the temps get even hotter and I still enjoy them. Temps in 60s and even low 70s is way too cold for my taste!
@@chelleroberson3222 Do you see one or the other as more expensive? Granted Mazatlan is twice the size of La Paz, but does La Paz offer the same amenities that retirees might need?
@@randyhilton6629 La Paz may be slightly more expensive because it's harder to get food transported there. And also Mazatlan may have slightly more middle to lower income nationals- so rentals could also be cheaper.
