Where to Stay in Oaxaca - Best Areas & Neighborhoods

[@cathyplatin3906]

LOVE Oaxaca!!! This will be our 5th year of spending the Winter there. We stay in Jalatlaco and adore it! Oaxaca is our favorite place in all of Mexico and we have traveled pretty extensively. This year we will be there for Día de Muertos and really look forward to it. Thanks SO much for sharing these wonderful videos. I am so familiar with many of the places you shared. Makes me hungry to return…

[@onlyanaxor86]

​@@cathyplatin3906any Airbnb recommendations for families with children?

[@300rivers4]

GREAT video! That's our preferred state in Mexico, but looking for something closer to the ocean, like Huatulco. Just subscribed too, btw🔥

[@justthi.exploring]

What a great video! Thanks so much for sharing. Love how detailed you review the places and your detailed review list in the description!

[@CeeCeeImohlaapohko]

Thank you! I always enjoy your videos 😊

[@gregvisioninfosoft]

Where is the location of this outdoor organic place? I definitely want to visit when I go to Oaxaca.

C. Macedonio Alcalá 806, RUTA INDEPENDENCIA, Centro, 68000 Oaxaca de Juárez, Oax.

[@Benito-fn4ip]

Valuable information. Didn't know about this area of Oaxaca City. Gracias...

[@alalesc3796]

Great video!!

[@1dktre]

Hi Jim, Thanks for the great content you put out! It is very much appreciated! I am searching for a town/city that has a moderate cool climate and or a beach town where the cost of living and real estate are still affordable. Other than the obvious expat destinations, do you have any suggestions?

[@jackbaldwin3649]

Another great tour Jim...thank you!! Were taxis expensive there relative to other areas of Mexico?

[@oscarvargasloranca3973]

$50-$100 pesos all around downtown

[@alcatelazul1azul453]

The yellow taxis , yes, one hundred pesos

[@AnnetteClibourne]

I’m coming to Oaxaca next month, so thank you for this video. Very helpful. Do you have any suggestions as to finding volunteer work? That would make a good video.

[@Eeeekamouse]

Beautiful area 😮

[@celinachavez4922]

Oaxaca is alway alive and fun, there is always fiestas (calendas)happening on the streets

[@lynnerene]

Excellent video, thank you!

[@isabelbayer4350]

Nice video

[@jimshomecomforts8505]

Great video, im trying to figure out where to go. Can you post the three different rents in these locations, thanks.

[@margarita4601]

Great video!! What is the name of the organic market please? I could not find it in the description nor comments. Thanks!!

[@genovevabaculi5268]

Nice video, enjoy watching. Could you please share the email or link to find an airbnb or apartment to find information please there in your area? Thank you.

[@rzadigi]

Another great video!! But why are there dozens of people here in the comments asking for all kinds of information? Take what he gives and be happy with it. No need to share every little detail. Go there yourself if you must know ❤

[@Alchemy31]

I’m trying to visit there from Mérida

[@alcatelazul1azul453]

Solo tiene que ir a la ciudad de México, allí hay viajes para Oaxaca

[@rlselby801]

How do you secure your accommodations. I am not seeing many Airbnb’s in Jalatlaco nor in Barrio de Xochimilco area for a long 2025 winter stay. Thanks for the great informative tour.

[@GringoPicante]

Just out of curiosity, if I were living in one of these neighborhoods how far would I need to travel if me and some friends wanted to go hiking up some mountains?

[@casibari1537]

Very immersive and informative. When you say aquifer I take it you mean aqueduct.

[@booklover555]

And a link or name of the accommodation in Xochimilco, please and thank you!

[@alchristensen8121]

What time of year did you shoot these Oaxaca videos?

[@hjander]

Excellent video, especially for expats looking to live in Oaxaca. I would have liked to know the price for your apartments in each area.

[@kristiebreithaupt5634]

Hiw much are these places you are staying & where did you find them. ????

[@LivingOverseasTV]

@kristiebreithaupt5634, I find them on Airbnb. In the future, I will be making a video on how to find a great long-term rental.

[@booklover555]

And Luz Maria's coffee shop? I can't find it on Google maps.

[@aaronfaster1]

Kind of an odd question, but I'm hoping you can help me out. Seems like a lot of Oaxaca living spaces are open air, which appeals to me. I'm very sensitive to mold and poor air quality. Do you think this would be a good place to consider traveling? Thanks!

[@celinachavez4922]

Go, It is a good place for you to travel.. weather is great.

[@alcatelazul1azul453]

Yes , ofcourse

[@siouxrose7766]

Your video makes viewers want to be there. Can you provide ballpark of rent for a unit like the one you're staying at?

[@royalemery6302]

What is the name of the language school near your apt?

[@uoohoo99]

What were the prices for where you stayed?

[@ranger-operationsllc942]

Is there a white pages name/address/phone book in Oaxaca to look up a relative of mine I’ve lost contact with?

[@jackcorbett5402]

Understandable but misleading mistake: referring to the "aquifer" when you really mean the "aqueduct". The latter is the 18th century system which brought water from San Felipe to the city center, while the former refers to an underground recharge zone serving as an underground reservoir. As a part-time resident of Xochimilco for more than 50 years I would ask you to please frequent other parts of the city instead.

[@encampsaround]

Beautiful neighbourhoods !! Are there lots of foreigners (Non-Mexicans) in these areas ? It would be good to know whether new arrivals from USA/Canada/Europe can expect a good community of support for those first few months or years.

[@celinachavez4922]

I was 3 weeks ago, and I saw a lot of foreigners.. everybody is super comfortable speaking in simple Spanish. There are a lot of French people also.. if you stayed close to the center (central zocalo), you would be good.

[@thetacokawaii5708]

You expect non-Mexicans in Mexico?

[@encampsaround]

@thetacokawaii - as a world traveler I expect foreigners in every country. And I expect equal mixing even if they have affiliate communities. Not sure what your question is implying.

[@blindfowlindoor84]

Can you tell me how far the ocean

[@alcatelazul1azul453]

Oaxaca -Puerto Escondido 6 hours

[@alcatelazul1azul453]

Oaxaca- Bahías de Huatulco 5 hours

[@alcatelazul1azul453]

Oaxaca- Zipolite or Mazunte 7 hours

[@LWJCarroll]

From over here I don’t understand why people would move to the US, when they have such an amazing place etc here. Thanks really nice to see. Laurie NZ.

[@jameskelly9243]

Cause US is the best. We have it all

[@sbbs4250]

Thanks for a nice video. What about the single life? I am in my 50's, male, heterosexual.

Just curious why all the masks thanks.

[@justice4all997]

I thought things were super cheap??? That's not cheap

[@grahammcmillan8929]

“This is right near where I’m staying” which you said a number of times, doesn’t help me much mate. I don’t know where you’re staying so that makes your explanation of knowing what area of town you’re in rather useless.

[@MCSTRAVICK415]

Nice

[@jameskelly9243]

Correct he's light on locations and prices.. is he really there or is he AI. Nice scenery low/lack of content gets my thumbs down

[@enriquevasconcelos6316]

What’s an ex pat?

[@camiller4916]

Someone who changed their name from Pat.

[@RedSpiralHandTV]

Are masks required or something?

[@alcatelazul1azul453]

No ofcourse

[@garryjackson7305]

Sir, you mentioned “yoga” as a choice on what to do on your patio. Sir , you have some “age” and you really need to ponder on where you’re going to spend eternity when you die. Your soul will still exist either in hell or heaven. Believing the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is our Way, not the paganism of other world religions. There’s been only one empty tomb and that was in Jerusalem. Jesus said, I am THE Way, THE Truth and THE Life. NO ONE cometh to The Father but by Me. Notice He didn’t say I am “A” way etc…. Yoga and world religions will guarantee you hell. Trusting in JESUS’ death burial and resurrection will bring you to heaven. You now know the gospel. Please do not reject it. If I’m wrong , then we all perish anyway. If I’m right(which I am) then you’ll spend eternity in hell, separated from God. The decision is now yours to make. There’s a wonderful church near you in El Abonado near the airport La Iglesia Bautista Fundamental de Oaxaca. Please speak with pastor Leo there. Dios le bendiga!

Very nice place, hoping I can visit also yhe said place
