I do, easily and well...

[@robertgrant5895]

It depends how you define "live" and what city or town you end up in. Also how old you are, whether you have or can get health insurance, and what you like to eat and do. And, do you plan ot have a car etc.? If you are just talking about a very basic life style than yes in some cities.

[@ajh.4131]

I lived in Querétaro back in 2019 when I was teaching English at a language school there. Everything you mentioned is spot on! It’ll always have a special place in my heart ❤️ Also, Querétaro is only a short 3 hour bus ride to CDMX. It’s a very convenient location. 😊

[@hagendf]

Yeah, the bus is a straight shot to the CDMX Terminal 1, so it makes flying out pretty easy.

Living In Morelia, I didn't realize you were that close. We live in a beautiful house, nearly 4000 sq ft, 3 bdrm/3 ba, in a nice neighborhood. We pay 8000 pesos $400 USD per month...

[@russellbarnes7728]

@@luvablesweetnsassy Yes, and I'm an American citizen. We saw that the house was being painted, walked inside, got the owner's phone number, called him, and we rented it. No contract, no co-signer. We've been in it for two years now. The rent has never been raised on us either.

[@PsychicZya]

Great video!!

[@BubbleGum-s5c]

Hi jordan. I have been under the impression that finding a rental (especially for 6 months) is difficult there. Realtors don’t make enuf commission for 6 month rentals AND property owners are reluctant to rent w/o residency credentials. Of course, one can struggle to find alternative ways to locate a rental. What hope can you give? Walking streets looking for rental signs and asking strangers for leads could be exhausting. Thanks for any candid comments. :)

[@sebastianlara8023]

Hi Jordan, can you tell me the nicest neighborhood in Queretaro? You make me think moving there from GDL

[@TangerineTravels]

The truth is there are a lot of nice neighborhoods in Queretaro. The most well known one is probably El Campanario. If you want a mansion like those in El Campanario, some other neighborhoods where pretty much all of the houses are enormous include Balcones de Juriquilla, Huertas El Carmen, and Pedregal de Queretaro.

Hi Jordan...I've always wanted to go to Mexico I love everything about their culture. So my question is many people and the media main stream advise against visiting as it's supposed to be very Dangerous etc etc ......I'd love to know the truth from somebody that lives there. So basically is it Fake news or is it true thanks!

[@TangerineTravels]

Are there dangers here? Yes. Are most Americans far more scared than they should be? Yes. My favorite author who has literally driven around the entire world twice says it's always the same... In every place he visits the people say "you don't have to worry, it's safe here, but don't go over there because it's not safe there" then he goes "over there" and they say the exact same thing "no, no, no, it's safe here but don't go to (insert next place)." It's the same all over the world, people are afraid of the unknown.

I want to thank you very much for recommending Queretaro. I have been to 10 states in Mexico over 3 years, searching for the perfect place to settle long term. My favourite place used to be San Cristobal, Chiapas. But I kept getting violently ill there due to the disgusting and toxic water system contaminating every kind of food in restaurants and markets. I had to leave. I finally came to Queretaro because of your recommendations and without a doubt it is my favourite place in Mexico. The friendliest and most helpful people. A wide variety of restaurants and markets with amazing food. Clean, safe streets. The most beautiful centro. The best weather. And they have golf courses! It’s perfect. I’m staying here. Thank you sir! You’re correct.

For flights, I don't know if you're aware, but they're opening up direct flights to Cabo San Lucas next month.

I stayed in Queretaro the last 2 winters from September to January. I stayed in the center in Airbnbs. Last Summer the peso was 20 to 1 dollar now it is 17+. I enjoyed my stay there but Mexico now has a 17% tax on Airbnb and hotels plus the 3% sales tax. I stayed in the center which I recommend for people on a budget because many restaurants and grocery stores are in walking distance.

Queretaro's air quality is not great but on average it's significantly better than Guadalajara and Mexico City. If you look at the annual air quality averages on a website like Plume Labs, the average annual air qualify for the cities are: Queretaro: 35 Guadalajara: 46 Mexico City: 274 The lower the number the better.
