If you are thinking about moving to Mexico, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing...

"Thank god the company pays for it. The cost for an apartment is anywhere from $1,800 usd to over $5,000 usd. We are currently paying $3,800 per month utilities included," remarked another expat in Mexico City, Mexico.

"My costs are much lower. I could never have this type of home in the USA for this price. The average cost of renting an apartment in Puebla is $5000 MXN, and a modern, brand new home would be twice the price," said a member in Puebla, Mexico.
