What advice to expats in Ixtapa have about housing?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in Ixtapa about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in Ixtapa often advise newcomers to rent a place before buying to get a feel for the area and understand the local housing market. They suggest looking for a home that has good security measures in place, as safety can be a concern in certain areas. It's also recommended to choose a location that is close to amenities such as grocery stores, restaurants, and healthcare facilities. Expats also advise hiring a reputable real estate agent who is familiar with the local market and can guide you through the buying or renting process. They also recommend learning some basic Spanish to help with negotiations and daily interactions. In terms of the type of housing, there is a variety of options in Ixtapa, from condos and apartments to standalone houses. Many expats recommend living in a condo for the added security and community feel. It's also important to consider the climate when choosing a home. Houses with good ventilation, air conditioning, and shade are highly recommended due to the hot and humid weather. Lastly, expats advise being aware of the local customs and regulations related to housing. For instance, it's common in Mexico for the buyer to pay all closing costs, which can add a significant amount to the overall cost of the home," said another in Ixtapa, Mexico.
