How good is it to live in Puerto Vallarta?​

Puerto Vallarta is one of the safest and most friendly cities in Mexico. This is mainly because it is a major tourist center in the country, whose economic contribution is vital, so the government is concerned about maintaining security in the destination.

Now, the country that holds the first position in the world to retire: MEXICO! Besides knowing that Mexico is strategically located close to the United States and Canada, it has a program for senior citizens (INSEN), where they can get up to 50% discount on many services, the only requirement is to be over 60 years old; the Mexican government has enacted several laws to encourage foreign investment, and it has become one of the best retirement destinations, offering the quality of life that Americans are accustomed to, in addition to additional benefits.

Mexico, besides lower living expenses, offers various types of climates, from tropical heat on the coasts to cool mountain climate inland. It also has a wide variety of places to live, from resorts and modern metropolises to ancient historical cities and peaceful villages where expatriates can enjoy an authentic Mexican way of life.

“Mexico has everything an American retiree is looking for,” says Kathleen Peddicord, founder and editor of Live and Invest Overseas, which publishes books, newsletters, and online guides on how to move and do business abroad. “It’s accessible and close, with pleasant weather and fabulous beaches, and it can be very affordable.”
