While retirement on the beachfront is an excellent choice, a growing number of Americans and Canadians are beginning to choose a Mexico retirement community in one of the charming colonial cities throughout Mexico. Among these, the Yucatan Peninsula offers two exciting choices – Merida real estate, which is already a favorite, and Campeche real estate, which is just starting to attract a larger group of retirees.
What is the advantage of retiring in place like Merida or Campeche? Of course, the romantic atmosphere of a classic colonial city, with wonderful architecture is one key reason. Both of these cities are investing heavily in the complete restoration of there historic city centers.
Most recently, a large federal and state investment was announced for Merida which already boasts a wonderful atmosphere in its city center. The plan includes:
-
12 million dollars
-
2 years of restoration
-
illumination of the colonial churches (increasing visual appeal)
-
increased museums, awareness and accessibility of these museams
-
ongoing beautification of houses and colonial buildings
-
tours through city
-
tourism-focused business, activities, transport
-
tourism development in the nearby towns of Progreso, Valladolid, and Izamal Tinum
Campeche has recently carried out a similar process, placing all wiring underground, and investing in painting and improving facades of all buildings in the colonial center.
Other than the pleasure of living a very charming atmosphere, these two cities also offer the following benefits:
-
low real estate prices (homes as low as $50,000 USD)
-
very low cost of living
-
colorful, vibrant culture – festivals, live traditional music, etc.
-
art galleries and shows
-
up-to-date hospitals (with very accessible prices)
-
easy access back home
-
close access to beachfront areas – 30 minutes
