The omly plus I find on a privada is that they collect my deliveries and we have parking
Other than that ... i hate it. It feels like a fancy jail
I would rather be at the beach or in town where I can walk to the store
Good points.
Hey Cartess👋🏾. Thanks for showing us around.🙋🏾♀️ (Yesss Kim, I see you letting Cartess walk to the car so he can get some exercise.😂)
😂😂😂
Lol
Although we are not living there yet, here is my 2 cents.
We have some friends that live in a couple of Privada’s and we visit and even stayed over at one of our friend’s house there for a couple nights. We loved it. So quiet.
In my opinion the Pros are:
1. If you travel you lock up your house and go. It would seem to be peace of mind thinking your house & things are more protected. Since not just anyone can come into your community.
I would think chances would be lower for break ins. Lower opportunity.
That is my assumption.
2. The community is more apt to be kept up.
3. It doesn’t seem you would have to worry about encountering uneven, cracked sidewalks when you want to go out and about on walks.
4. Parks and Community areas provide a place to meet each other, or reserve the space to have parties if you didn’t want to host at your house.
5. I would think it would prevent vendors or random people coming to your door asking for money.
Some cons IMO:
1. You might be vulnerable to increasing HOA rates. The cost might be affordable now, but what about 10 years from now. If you are on a fixed income this might be an issue.
2. Feeling more isolated.
3. Following rules or guidelines that might not be suited to your lifestyle.
These are just my random thoughts.
Wow... U made some GREAT points. Thank u for sharing. I think I will make a video discussing your points!
Good breakdown, thanks
Cartess, you are my favorite on the internet! Keep up the great videos!
Thank u mucho jejeje
I love my privada! It will be 12 houses total. My neighbors are great. Our caretaker is a delight. We all have our own pools so no giant HOA fees. Ours includes maintenance of the yards, which is perfect for me.

"They got these bicycle things." 😅
Nice video 😊
Thanks for watching!
Man this place is SUPER clean. Very nice properties are well maintained. This looks like a great area to live.
Greag video Cartess. As always, very informative, everything you said in it is the truth.
Much appreciated
Hey,brother Cartess, I'm looking forward to hanging out in the neighborhood. Thanks for all the informative videos you have provided. I can appreciate your thoughts and comments about the living conditions and community. Peace and blessings. 😮
There are definitely some nice Pros to living in a privada. But as with anything, it has to be what you are looking for. Go in with your eyes open and understand what you are signing up for when you move in.
The common area with the pool and exercise facilities was deserted! What time of day were you out there? Does it get more busy on the weekends?
Thank you Mr. Cartess for showing.
Beautiful neighborhood, Cartess! I’d love to live there!
That is a nice privada. I noticed some vacant lots there so more homes or other spaces can be added, that's nice, and it is so big! Oh, I live in Michigan and a few of our neighbors still have their Christmas lights up and turned on at night, lol.
That’s a beautiful place I want to move to Mérida but l have to save more money. I think I’ll come down for a week soon. Just recently got my new passport.
Lovely Privada neighborhood!😊
Gracias por compartir. Eres el mejor. God bless you
In the Merida heat, doesn’t the concrete seating heat up ? Bring a cushion 😂
Thank you!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome.
Great video. Thanks a lot.
Glad you liked it!
Hey neighbor
That area that is little below ground level is a yoga park.
I would be careful recording public videos in privadas and putting license plates & private property online. Yes you’re so right. Private and public laws are different.
Maybe we will see you around.
Ahhh. Okay. Yoga. Hopefully I won’t get into any trouble 😅😅😅
I was going to say the same. Definitely blur those out.
🎉🎉Verry Nice 🎉🎉
Great videos Cartess! I didn't catch the name of the Privada? 👍
Hey Carter’s; do you have a video on long-term auto rentals, leases vs. purchase as a resident?
It seems quiet and peaceful. I love that the amenities are away from the houses. I dislike a bunch of party noise.
I wonder if its hard to get deliveries and emergency vehicles inside, since they have to go through a guard? But I like the security. In my neighborhood people posing as amazing drives with uniform and all stealing stuff. So i can see why security be sweating them.
Nice Privada. I think I even see some single story homes in there?
I wonder how often the HOA fees increase?
Good question!
Nice neighbourhood Sir, Where is this privada. What price range are houses if one is looking to buy? Planning to move to Merida near fall.
Now that’s what I’m talking about! Any vacancies ?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wood Solar?
You ran that Stop 🛑 sign lol
Yep , he did . LOL 😂
What about the seemingly available lot next door to “ the long house” ?
Hi. Sent you an email yesterday. Here in Merida for a few days and would like to meet up if possible.
Don't see it. Shoot me an e-mail to: cartess@cartessross.com
Pickleball courts ?
Please don't , me & my wife just got back to Germany, we got a Kidnap attempt.
A lot of Narco in the city, in Cancún, Tulum all the Peninsula area, bur realtors would never said that, government never says it.
Please keep your family safe, Mexico is not even that cheap at this point.
I love communities like that but NOT the HOA associated with it.
So...youre paying about 1,500 to live in a privada? wow!!! that's not including your outings...food and family needs...Yikes your'e spending a lot per month...So in order to live decent in Mexico you would have to be bringing in a min of 3,000 dollars a month in order to live decent!!! Maybe a single person can live on alittle bit less...I guess it all depends on where you choose to live and the amenities that they give you
Have you tried to get a firearm in mexico? If so a video on that process would be great .
Pls keep your firearms in the States - we're all trying to escape all the gun violence 😢
@@jvahl8747 you be a dummy and put your faith in government.
I’m a man I’ll continue to protect my family .
If you choose to believe that bad things don't happen to good people thats your choice. For me i have a family to protect and will not be waiting for someone to come protect them for me . period @@jvahl8747
