Is the cost of living in Ixtapa high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Ixtapa, they wrote:

"The cost of living in Ixtapa is considered to be relatively affordable compared to many other tourist destinations in the country. Housing and rental prices are generally low, making it an attractive place for expats and retirees. Groceries and dining out are also quite inexpensive, with local markets and street food offering a variety of options at a low cost. Public transportation is readily available and affordable, although many residents choose to walk or bike due to the town's small size. Healthcare is also reasonably priced, with both public and private options available. However, imported goods, high-end dining, and luxury services can be more expensive. Overall, the cost of living in Ixtapa is lower than in many U.S. and European cities," said one person in Ixtapa.
