So, your planning to live in Mexico<\/a> for your retirement, and you love the beachfront for vacations, but you also love the idea pf having close contact with the country’s wonderful old architecture, colorful culture and strong traditions of festivals and art.\u00c2\u00a0 While some beachfront areas offer varying degrees of this as well, you may wish to consider the “other” Mexico retirement<\/a> option \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a colonial city or traditional town.<\/p>\n

\"\"Colonial Cities<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Morelia<\/p>\n

This is a beautiful, undiscovered colonial gem.\u00c2\u00a0 Located in the beautiful central interior of the Mexico real estate<\/a> regions, offers romantic, narrow city streets, running in perfectly straight lines through the centuries old buildings.\u00c2\u00a0 Just outside of downtown, buyers can find beautiful traditional homes, offering a short walk to the historic area, and parks full of old trees and colorful flowers.\u00c2\u00a0 Nearby, modern luxury is also also available.\u00c2\u00a0 In the surrounding countryside, beautiful Mexico land<\/a> is available among rolling hills, lush trees and little streams, where you can build for a more active retirement.\u00c2\u00a0 Since it is still undiscovered, prices are also very accessible.<\/p>\n

Traditional Small Towns<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Lake Chapala<\/p>\n

The quaint villages of this area nestled between the lake and the surrounding wooded hills are defined by cobble stone roads and little white houses with clay tile roofs.\u00c2\u00a0 Many modern services are available for the thousands of retirees who call Lake Chapala home, and the many more who arrive in the winter.\u00c2\u00a0 The nearby city of Guadalajara (the second largest in Mexico, 1 hr away) offers even more services and a big city atmosphere for those who get the small town blues.<\/p>\n

Similar choices \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Valle de Bravo<\/p>\n

If you prefer to save the traditional for festival time and weekend site-seeing, you can stick with beachfront, and make little excursions; but if a retirement lifestyle defined by the romance of tradition and culture appeals to you, consider one of these locations.<\/p>\n
