International Living recently named Mexico as the number one spot for Latin American retirement.  Criteria were based on cost of living, infrastructure, health care, safety, stability, real estate, special benefits and immigration perks.  The US State Department estimates that nearly 1 million Americans live in Mexico and approximately 9% of those at retirement age are spending money purchasing homes here.

Retiring in Mexico allows you to have all the amenities you have grown accustomed to as Americans - Cable TV, high-speed Internet and modern home appliances.  Living a luxurious lifestyle comes a little easier as goods and services cost less - a maid, gardener or cook might now be something you could afford.  And, don’t forget - the activities here for those wishing to continue active lifestyles are endless: golf, fishing, sailing, diving, snorkeling, hiking, biking, sunbathing - you will find them all in Mexico!

Mexico’s health care is also quite good - most private clinics and hospitals are staffed by physicians often trained in the US or Europe.  International Living gives Mexican health care a 79/100 on their index.

If you’re considering retirement in Mexico, please contact Alfredo Cristo for Baja Sur real estate information.
