How would you imagine Lake Chapala real estate for your retirement? Quaint, white homes with red-clay roofs, a Mexican style courtyard, with terracotta tiles inside the home, with a view of the lake? While these homes most certainly exist, and many Americans and Canadians enjoy retirement in such traditional style homes, there is another side of Lake Chapala, both in terms of real estate, and in terms of services available to support a relaxing retirement lifestyle.
Besides a wide variety of property types and styles, Lake Chapala offers one benefit which is of key importance for Mexico retirement; top, world-class healthcare available for very low prices. As Mexico grows as a leading option for medical tourism, the top area's for medical care will also continue to offer more high quality healthcare facilities.
One of these areas is just down the road from Lake Chapala, namely Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city, with it's international airport and city limits only about 45 minutes away. Guadalajara, along with Mexico City and Monterrey, is one of Mexico's "hubs" for healthcare, providing facilities that match or outdo quality of American hospitals, according to the World Health Organization. To make that even better, Prices are usually 50% - 70% cheaper than in the U.S. One example of major work is teeth implants, which costs about $18,500 for six teeth in the U.S, and only about $3,600 in a Mexican hospital.
While most regular medical treatment is available right in the Lake Chapala area, in the towns of Ajijic and Chapala, which are also the main real estate choices for retirees in the area, the comfort of having one of the top centers for major medical care nearby counts for a lot.
Combine this with the traditional atmosphere of these beautiful towns, surrounded by very green and pleasant natural areas, with beautiful views of the lake and surrounding hills, retirement in Lake Chapala becomes one of the most appealing choices.
