What do people like (and dislike) about Lake Chapala?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Lake Chapala, they replied...
"Very friendly expats. Very welcoming community. Mexicans are very warm. Restaurants are affordable, although somewhat limited in scope -- but that's getting better. Weather is incredible year-round. Crime, security, corruption is getting worse," said another expat in Lake Chapala, Mexico.
"Expatriates and digital nomads living in Lake Chapala appreciate the area's warm climate, low cost of living, and friendly locals. They also enjoy the area's proximity to the beach, the vibrant cultural scene, and the abundance of outdoor activities. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the lack of reliable internet access and the language barrier to be challenging. Additionally, the area's limited public transportation can make it difficult to get around," wrote a member who made the move to Lake Chapala, Mexico.
