  • Come with me as I show you the exterior and interior of some great apartments in Guadalajara Mexico. Finding the right neighborhood is just as important as finding the right apartment. From luxury complexes to walkable enclaves, Guadalajara has what you are looking for…if you’re up for a search. Colonia Americana is a great neighborhood to live, especially if you are new to Guadalajara. After visiting and living in this area for over a year, I desire a change. Check out the neighborhoods of Chapalita and Providencia with me. I think I have found my new home.

    Moving from the US, you may be looking for relatively inexpensive rental apartments. Compared to the average rental prices in major cities like Houston, Los Angeles & Atlanta, I think a $1,000 budget is doable here in Guadalajara. What you must prepare for, is the fluctuations with the Dollar/Peso exchange which is currently low at 16.57 pesos to the dollar at the time of this post.

    My first apartment in Guadalajara back in 1992 was only $80 for a 2 bedroom 2 bath in providencia exactly located in yaquis and Manuel Acuña.
    I think providencia is the better place to live specifically in Ruben Dario. I lived in the Ruben Dario and Bonifacio Andrade for 4 years it was a 2 bed 2 bath with a back yard and I used to pay about $200 a month

      @MelaninManTravels  Před měsícem

      Wow! Times have changed. I felt the same about the rents in Los Angeles. The 2 bed 2 bath I shared with a buddy was $600-800/month in 1990. Now it’s like $2500!

    Thank you so much for contributing to Guadalajara's gentrification. But please, tell me more about this "decolonized mindset" or does that only go a certain way?

    • @MelaninManTravels
      @MelaninManTravels  Před měsícem +5

      Just for clarification. Are you suggesting that no one move to another country? Is it not okay to live amongst local Mexicans? Should I not contribute to the local economy? I live in an older established neighborhood with Mostly Mexican families and residents and have Mexican friends who earn WAY more than I do. So please define gentrification so I can understand your point. Thanks for watching.

    $1000 is not inexpensive. My big 2BR in Chapala is 6500 pesos. That is inexpensive.

    • @MelaninManTravels
      @MelaninManTravels  Před 2 měsíci +3

      Yes, but the difference is you’re in Chapala which may or may not work for everyone. I like to visit Chapala but I prefer living in GDL so I do pay more. Merida is also nice and very inexpensive but I don’t want to live in that heat to have lower rent. So, inexpensive is totally relative. Thanks for sharing for those who may want to consider the Lake Chapala area
