We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"If you are looking for a place to live in Lake Chapala, one of your best options is to contact a local real estate agent. They are knowledgeable about the local market, have access to listings of properties for sale or rent, and can provide advice on finding and securing a new home. Additionally, there are various online resources such as the Lake Chapala Society's website, www.lakechapala.net where you can find rental apartments and homes in the area, and informational websites like Chapala.com which can provide helpful tips on living in the region. You can also ask around among the expat community in the area for recommendations on trustworthy real estate agents and for referrals to interesting rental opportunities," remarked another expat in Lake Chapala, Mexico.
"We made a discovery trip here in July. Loved the place and stayed a month... We toured the entire area and eliminated those areas that were a bit far out or did not meet our needs. We sold our home in the states in three days which spurred us to find a home... We have a dog and two cats that made renting a bit of a hassle so we decided to buy. I made another trip in September and we decided on one of the homes we had previewed earlier. It is a smaller gated community (7 homes) and we are quite delighted," said a member in Ajijic , Mexico.
