So, what does “home” look like in Mexico? Let\u2019s explore the full picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Are Mexican Homes Different?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A common question we get is: How are Mexican homes like compared to those in the U.S. or Canada? The answer is: they\u2019re wonderfully unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mexican homes often use concrete rather than wood, which helps with insulation and durability. Outdoor spaces like courtyards or rooftop terraces are common. While the layouts may differ, many expats grow to love the creative architecture and the blend of indoor-outdoor living.<\/p>\n\n\n
