(This is one of the reasons I say investing in Mexico is such a great idea; it&#8217;s potential has just barely begun to be tapped into.)\u00c2\u00a0 Mexicans know all about Morelia.\u00c2\u00a0 Some sources say that it&#8217;s the most visited non-beach city among Mexico&#8217;s mid to upper-class tourists.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Morelia - old colonial home with a fountain in front\" src=\"http:\/\/i255.photobucket.com\/albums\/hh138\/beatlo\/Morelia\/Morelia-FountainampColonialHome_zps7e557355.jpg\" alt=\"Living in Morelia, Morelia real estate\" width=\"232\" \/>But there&#8217;s one HUGE advantage to this: <strong>prices for real estate and the cost of living are lower<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Real Estate Options<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Basically there are three real estate options.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/morelia-real-estate\/homes-morelia.php\" target=\"_blank\"><em>1. Old Colonial Homes<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For most expats in colonial cities, this is the favorite.\u00c2\u00a0 The Mexican middle class is currently in a trend of selling off their classic old homes in favor of something more modern out in the suburbs.\u00c2\u00a0 They sell these homes cheap because apparently no one wants to live in old home with a courtyard on a narrow street where you can hear church bells ringing and walk to the market.\u00c2\u00a0 Some expats have begun to buy these and enjoy this amazing lifestyle!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/morelia-real-estate\/oceanfront-morelia.php\" target=\"_blank\"><em>2. Lakefront Homes<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Morelia - aqueduct\" src=\"http:\/\/i255.photobucket.com\/albums\/hh138\/beatlo\/Morelia\/MoreliaAquaduct_zps23cacf0a.jpg\" alt=\"Living in Morelia, Morelia real estate\" width=\"232\" height=\"106\" \/>Just outside of Morelia, there are some quaint old villages on larger lakes where people like to live a cottage-like lifestyle.\u00c2\u00a0 These deserve a post to themselves.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/property\/?n=vivalto-morelia\" target=\"_blank\"><em>3. Modern Condos<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These are the properties where the middle\/upper-class Mexicans are moving after selling their classic old homes.\u00c2\u00a0 And, of course, there is a very strong appeal; while being only a short drive from all the charm and culture of old Morelia, you can live in modern luxury next to a golf course and a shopping mall.\u00c2\u00a0 Onsite pools, gyms, day cares, movie theaters and spectacular views of the rolling hills are just a few example of features you might expect.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Morelia - golf course &amp; modern condos\" src=\"http:\/\/gallery.topmexicorealestate.com\/photos\/82\/1399.jpg\" alt=\"Living in Morelia, Morelia real estate\" width=\"232\" height=\"148\" \/>And, compared to prices you would expect for properties of this sort in other places, the prices are VERY competitive.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve said it before, and I&#8217;ll say it again: Morelia has a LOT of potential. The fact that it&#8217;s off the international radar adds some charm to it, and also makes it more affordable.\u00c2\u00a0 You might want to consider visiting &#8211; or even living here.\u00c2\u00a0 Think about it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\n<strong>Liliana Gonzalez<\/strong> <em>is a leading agent, dedicated to providing her clients with the <strong>highest level of service<\/strong> available in Morelia and beyond.
