Why do people move to Merida?

Answer this Question

When we asked people why foreigners move to Merida, they responded...

"Oh, my, where do I start? This is my 4th country and I am here to stay! Merida has surpassed my expectations- it is a large city, with many different neighborhoods to choose from, each with their own separate, distinct vibe. Activities are everywhere- every night a park holds a free event. Centro is hopping on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The shopping is first class, many very nice new malls, and restaurants are everywhere, for every price range. Most of all for me is the culture- there are so many fine museums and homes to tour that I have made a list so that I don't forget any. And then there's the cenotes to swim or dive in, found nowhere else but the Yucatan, and the Mayan ruins nearby," explained one expat living in Merida, Mexico.

"Merida is an attractive destination for expats due to its affordable cost of living, vibrant culture, and year-round warm climate. The city is known for its cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and picturesque plazas, providing a quaint atmosphere to explore. Additionally, locals are incredibly welcoming, offering expats the opportunity to form lasting friendships. Merida's proximity to the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and a wealth of Mayan sites further add to its appeal. With its charming atmosphere, an array of activities to take part in, and a laid-back way of life, Merida is a great choice for ex-pats looking to experience something new," said another in Merida, Mexico.
