Just got here and got a decent studio, including internet and water with ocean view roof top pool near 38 th and 5 for 13500 pesos on a 6 mth lease. It expires in march giving me time to find a better deal in low season. Brought a bicycle with me to get around, and everyone should bring a bike. Playa is flat so it’s easy and fast on bike, just as fast as having a car for the few km that you might need to go. Coming from Canada, you will notice that the food is much healthier immediately. Amazing transformation in just a few weeks after getting off of the stressful treadmill of Canadian life and now my friends back home say i look 20 years younger. I came with only an overweight hockey bag of clothes and the bike. I don’t miss my car, or anything really. Thanks for the info RopeMonster, I’m sure I’ll run into you sooner or later. If life sucks, get a new one!

IMO proximity to beach isn't as important as some may assume because even if ur farther away & have a colectivo stop nearby you can get to the beach cheaply. Most people arent at the beach daily.

You can save thousands of pesos per month being little farther away & spend a couple hundred pesos tops to get there. Taxis r also cheap for residents if you know basic Spanish.

Thanks for the video. Do you know how rent prices seem in July/August? I should be there with the family in July and plan to rent an AIRBNB for a month so we can house hunt in person for a more long term rental. Its great to see that some places include utilities! Also, any input on the areas of town that seem to have the best internet or is that hit and miss? Thanks!
@theropemonster
@theropemonster 6 ай бұрын
My pleasure! All great questions! The internet one is a tough one because it seems generally weak all over town…Izzy seems to be the worst company but also the most ubiquitous unfortunately. It takes me about two hours to upload a 17 minute KZbin video 🙄. For that reason I think there are less nomads here than there could be. The rents (as far as independently listed apartments) in July/August should be low and supply high, but Airbnbs here seem to stay on the high side year round (largely due to taxes and even higher fees as they are now a publicly traded company). That being said, some of them DO offer a monthly discount and if you’re only doing it for a month while house hunting, I’m sure it won’t break the bank. Thanks for watching and happy travels 🏝️😎🇲🇽

I have a couple friends who live in Colosio and while it's cheaper than centro it's not nearly as convenient. For example, another friend lives on calle 6 with ave 45 and pays 11,000 with gas and wifi included. Has a pool and it's walkable to everything including Walmart, Chedraui and the colectivos going north and south.

On 45th… a block from the highway 😬..Thats a solid price no doubt, but too close to the federal highway for my liking… the traffic noise and amount of exhaust in the air is next level. While it definitely IS closer to Walmart than Colosio, we do have a Chedraui not far on 10th Ave (less than a mile from our place). Thanks for checking out the video 😎🇲🇽

How WILD is this? I was literally getting my phone to ask you about safety for solo female travelers or digital nomads at 5th and 60th as I heard it could get sketchy and there seem to be mixed reviews. I think you've answered it, and I think that with time it will get more developed like the old 5th avenue
@theropemonster
@theropemonster 8 ай бұрын
Crazy!! Glad the video answered some questions for you Jiji! I tend to agree to your point on that part of 5th becoming safer as it becomes more developed. That definitely seems to be the trend, with new coffee shops, yoga studios and pastry places popping up it feels safer with the extra foot traffic. I do notice that a lot of the single females in the area have dogs (some of them very big) which definitely helps the safety aspect too. Thanks for watching ❤️

The point is NOT to gentrify THE NEIGHBORHOOD. It’s to keep people from OVERPAYING AND DRIVING UP PRICES. Which would ACTUALLY gentrify the neighborhood. You want people coming down and paying $2,000-4,000usd/month? Would that be better?

@theropemonster

Great question Nate. I’ve been very selective of my landlords (making sure there’s good rapport) over the years and so I have typically gotten mine back here in MX. But I’ve heard a lot of folks say the opposite.. it was very common in Vallarta at least to hear stories of people not getting their deposits back. I would say this: a bad landlord is as easy to recognize as a bad taxista. You can just tell (usually) if someone is going to try to rip you off. You may have just inspired me to do a video on this subject. Thanks for watching, my friend!
