Moving to Merida

New Topic Newest First

I am planning to move to Merida by the end of this year. I'm not sure I want to stay in a city so large. Can anyone suggest a good area in or near for a 68 year old retired female to live.

I lived within walking distance of the Pacific ocean for 31 years. Now I live in Florida within walking distance of the intercoastal waterway and the Atlantic ocean.

I don't want to live right on the water but I don't want to be too far away either.

Thanks for any ideas you might have.

Merida is a very nice city of about 1 million people. The northern part of Merida is about 20 min. from the beachtown of Progreso, a small quite town, no much social life. Both places are hot, very hot in the summer.
Merida has a lot of atractions and shows, free of charge, in different city squares. There are many US and Canadian citizens in both places.
Good luck in your search for a place to move.

You may like the beach town of Celustun, a fishing village. I don't know about the ex-pats there, but it is a small town on the gulf coast with Merida being the closest large city.

Try Riviera Nayarit, north of Puerto Vallarta.

Very popular with ex-pats from Canada and Northern parts of America. Towns north of PV are Bucerias, Punta de Mita, Sayulita, San Francisco (aka San Pancho), all on the beach nestled next to the jungle, on the same Latitude as Hawaii, only higher humidity in the summer, probably because of the adjacent jungle. Very safe; short bus ride to PV if you need to go to Costco, Sams Club, Wal-Mart, etc. Otherwise, local fresh fruit and vegetables and fresh fish daily, 365 days. Tacos on the street still $1 USD. Quaint, friendly, touristy in the winter high season, sleepy in the low season.

I am a female of 65 and moving there at the end of this year by myself, with cat. I visited first, met friends that I had emailed, and secured a place to stay with deposit while I was there.
