we are planning on moving to mexico. where is the best place to move too?

Question

we are planning on moving to mexico in about 2-3 years. We will have 2-4 kids with us and we want to know where the best place to live would be. I am trying to find some real estate in Torreon. Does anyone know of any sites where I can find listings in torreon or any other decent place in mexico>

Answer 1

If you speak Spanish, the best thing to do is search in Yahoo!Mexico or Terra or any web-site in Spanish that services the Mexican market. I would give you a couple but I am changing over from AOL to cable and all my AOL "Favorites" have been wiped out! If you search in Spanish (or can get someone to do it for you) you can find a lots of info on real estate, cities etc. (warning - searching for stuff on the net in Mexico is nowhere near as easy as in the US!)

If you are looking for info on "livability" etc., search in English for expatriate groups living down here.

I live in the D.F. and there are a LOT of great areas in this city for foreigners. Also Guadalajara is great and Cuernavaca. There are also large foreign communities in San Miguel Allende and the Ajijic/Chapala area. Most tourist/resort areas have large expatriate communities as well, such as Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Ixtapa etc.

If you are NOT looking for huge numbers of fellow foreigners to "hob nob" with then there are a wealth of very nice Mexican cities to chose from, many I think would be nicer than Torreon, the list would include: Aguascalientes; Leon; Zacatecas; Guanajuato; Queretaro; Puebla; San Juan del Rio; Tlaxcala; Xalapa; Vera Cruz; Monterrey; Morelia; Cuernavaca as well as dozens of "colonias" here in Mexico City (just to name a few).

Here are a couple of websites (in English I think) which I can remember with some helpful info that might get you started:

www.peoplesguide.com
www.mexonline.com

Answer 2

Torreon and the State of Coahuila have official websites that should answer most of your questions. Ignore the nasty remarks about safety. I am an American of non-Mexican, non-Latino heritage, and I lived in Mexico for 10 years. There was and is a lot less crime there than here, but for some reason a single incident south of the border merits huge media attention here. You're safer in most places in Mexico than in Newark, NJ or Washington, DC. That statement is based on statistics, not sentiment. Good luck.

Answer 8

where ever it is, check with the local authority first. There are lots of kidnapping/ransom going on. If you have money, you're a target.

Answer 9

Anywhere that there aren't any kidnappers. Of course, that pretty much eliminates Mexico.
