It's Mérida for me too. I'm so fortunate to have bought my house in 2019. No regrets (just some sweats). ;)
We love to hear this! Thank you for sharing your positivity about Merida 😊
I married a 6th generation Yucateca.. Beautiful. I've traveled to all but 2 states in Mexico. Love having Riviera Maya in our backyard. Nicest people on the planet. I assimilated 100% which is a must to live in Mexico. Shorts and Sandal life!!😂❤🙏🙏🏁
Thank you for such great feedback!
We’re happy to hear that you love it here!
We are excited to see how the Mayan train will make Mayan Riviera even more accessible from here!

Badass
I'm going to be retiring in about 6 years, and it looks like Merida will be the place for me! I'm in Vancouver Canada, and a 700sq ft. condo is $650,000 here, and it rains 8 months of the year. So sick of it.
Sorry to hear that. Merida is a great option for retirement. It's recommended that you visit before making a long term decision but the cost of living is definitely lower compared to Vancouver.
@@yucatanrealestategroup For sure! I've been to Cancun and Cabo several times. I own my my own house outright, homes on my street are selling for 1.25 million Canadian. Which seems like a lot, but that's an average 4 bedroom house here. I will be able to buy a home there cash deal and still have plenty left, plus my work and Canada pension. I'm really looking forward to living in the sun!
Don't wait... you can retire and move here now. It's going to be much more expensive in 6 years.
Soy mexicano de toda vida, me mude s Mérida hace como un año y para mi el único problema es:
El calor🥵
Quizas para gringos en invierno este aceptable el clima
(Ahora mismo se acerca el invierno y no hace ya tanto calor incluso se empieza a sentir fresco!)
Salu2!🎉
Gracias por tu comentario. Justo este año estuvo mas fuerte. Yo soy Yucateco de toda la vida y este Verano si cambiamos un poco nuestra rutina por el calor durante el medio dia 🥵
@@yucatanrealestategroup sii este año se sintió fuerte calor! Esperemos el año que viene este mejor, gracias por responder!
Aire Acondicionado chiquitin...O paredes mas gruesas 😎
@@oskarvomhimmel6936 buenas ideas :)
I'm impressed of how these countries have changed! We will definitely pay a visit soon. This is a great video, thank you!
Thank you for your feedback. If you have the opportunity, the weather is best in Merida between December and April :)
Also, if you haven't yet, subscribe to our channel as we will be covering future changes in Merida!
Sneak Peak into our next video, Walmart is doubling its presence in the state and typically big chains only plan such growth when it is justified.
@@yucatanrealestategroup I definitely subbed earlier, it's nice to see big corporates in America making the move.! Take care. We can't wait to see more of you guys.

I'm interested in a gated community for the summer June 16 - August 1 2024. Please advise.@@yucatanrealestategroup
@@MCGEntertainment Thank you for such great feedback, we had a few hiccups this December with our editing team but we're working on getting more content for everyone this year.
I would love to live in Merida the only thing that keeps me from living there is the high humidity .I prefer cooler weather up in the mountains.
Merida is far from mountain weather lol. We were in Calgary before moving here and we used to love the mountains but we don't miss the winter ;)

You can drive over to Cancun when ever, 1.5 hrs away...and live in the safest city of Mexico at the same time...Campeche, Cuba...😎
1.5 hour drive ? Are you high ?
Try 4 hours😂
You moved there to be closer to David's family, which is admirable, but the heat and humidity can be brutal and once realizing this, many people reconsider why they moved there. There are plenty of other places in Mexico that are much more affordable and close to just as safe and you are able spend your days outside instead of generating a huge electric bill by sitting inside all day just to be in the a/c. Being rated as the second safest city in the whole of North America is what seems to draw people there and that would hard to beat anywhere else the world. Quality of life is vastly overlooked when people decide to move to Merida solely on this statistic. I live about a two and a half hour drive south from what has been called one of the best climates in the world to live in. I live like a Rey two miles from the beach for what is generally under $1100us total expenditures per month and feel safer here than I did anywhere else in the US. Buena suerte!
Hey, thanks for sharing your experience! It sounds like you've found a pretty sweet spot near the beach. Living like a Rey on a budget, that's the dream!
Megan and Myself (David), moved to Merida after doing extensive research about different international options when we were working remotely. We chose Merida as it offers an affordable lifestyle and way better weather compared to where we were before in Calgary Canada. My family being here was a nice addition but not a decision-maker for us.
Each place offers unique advantages and disadvantages. The goal of our channel is to give a full idea of what it is like to live in Merida Mexico.
Because of our business, we work with clients relocating to Merida and there are many other reasons than just safety.
Buena suerte to you too!
@@yucatanrealestategroup😮
What is this place located 2 1/2 hrs south of Merida and very close to the beach…
@@vicenterangel1679 You mean Campeche? Campeche city is really close to shallow water and only a few beaches. Housing there still more affordable than Merida but being Bias we love Merida beaches better :)
Hi, I am living in Florida for more than 20 years and looking to move away of US within 5 years. I started to check possible places and Mexico is one of them so far. I got answers for the good and bad for Mexico. For the Good are: People, Weather, Language, Culture, Food, etc. For the Bad are: Streets with no trees, Costly homes comparing with typical US houses, Small lots, Boring Arquitecture (house made of boxes), with funny - joke swimming pools. Merida has depriment street landscaping. Are there better cities in Mexico?
Thank you for your comment. Merida Centro indeed lacks landscaping but that is not the same in the North. In Merida, we have great private communities keeping as much as they can of the original nature in those areas and adding lots of additional landscaping. Good examples of these developments are Cumbres Novonorte, Tamara, and Parque Natura among others.
Other cities of Mexico might offer more diverse architecture but depending on your budget we have lots of AMAZING local and international architects that have designed and will continue to design beautiful homes in Merida.
Please let me know if you would like more information about Merida or any other city in Mexico!
I would like to relocate out of the States and I have heard a lot of nice things about Merida but I don't think I will be able to tolerate the heat. I love breezy weather, rainy weather and gloomy weather to a certain extent lol
Yep, my only drawback is the hot humid weather.
Understandable. An option is to enjoy Merida's weather between November and April when the weather is mild and there is a breeze and live somewhere else the other half of the year
Stay if your f country foreigner ........................not welcome in Mexico
I need a Mexican man so that We can visit here❤
Ahhh but no Stampede in Merida....greetings from Playa via Vancouver
We have xmatkuil :D pretty similar with a Mexican touch to it! Message us when you visit!
Great city and location but for us its time to move on. 🎉
All the best in your new home!
But where are the amazing street tacos? I stayed a month there all I saw were overpriced marquesitas and people borderline harassing you trying to sell their guayaberas
I'm sorry to hear that was your experience.
There is great variety when it comes to street tacos in Merida I'm shocked you were not able to find any!
Feel free to message us on your next visit and we will share a list ;)

😮😮
Can you make a video or point me to one you’ve already made about the requirements (visa, residency, etc)?
Yes, we're working on a video right now after we received your question but for now feel free to check FB pages for expats in Merida - there are some great options for immigration experts
@@yucatanrealestategroup Thank you sooooo much!
Culture riches, really good reason for choosing Merida, Yucatan.
Thank you for your comment!
We love the culture and being close to David's family. We also love the variety of activities we get to enjoy on a weekly basis.

Cenotes got formed from meteors? Are you sure?
There is a full museum in Progreso that talks about the crater that hit Chicxulub in Yucatan and created some of the underground caves known as Cenotes today. Hope you can visit it :D
Whats the cost of the house?
Housing costs vary dependent on location of the city and type of home! If you have specific preferences, we can provide you more specific prices! Email us at info@yucatanrealestategroup.com

I am leaving. It was a big mistake. I should've researched more about Merida. I got trapped in the hip of Merida being the 2nd safest city in north America. Too much to compromise about, too much to give up to live here.
Thanks for your comment. No place is perfect for everyone and there is always a compromise when moving to a new city or country We hope your next home fits your lifestyle better.
@@yucatanrealestategroup Thank you
could you kindly share a couple of compromies you had to make?
We are also leaving but no regrets. I'd not want to live here long term. We are moving in a few weeks. Best of luck. 🤞
@@2GringosOnTheGulf thanks for sharing, wish you the best in your next home! 🫶
cuz its cheap
Definitely a top reason for most living here.
It is NOT cheap. I pay more to live here than I paid in the US for the same size house. Gas is expensive too.
@@prettybrwneyez7757 so , you're doing smth wrong
Great video! We will be vacationing there soon. Any recommendations for inexpensive tacos?
@@prettybrwneyez7757Avoid areas that have a lot of greeeengoes
