Would I Like Mazatlan Mexico

- ¨Would I like Mazatlan Mexico?¨ Did you search for that? Well if you did, this is the video you want to check out. I made this video just for people that were wondering, ¨Would I like Mazatlan Mexico?¨ Notice I said Mazatlan Mexico and not Mazatlan Ohio. There is a big difference in the two places.
People ask me all of the time, ¨What is it like to live in Mazatlan Mexico?¨ I have been living in Mazatlan for a little over one year now. I have a pretty good feel for the city. I have a good feel for where to go, what to eat, how to get around, how to meet people, how to have a good time and stuff like that. So if you are thinking about moving to Mazatlan, check out this video and see what you think.
Many Americans, Canadians and people from all over the world retire in Mazatlan Mexico. So if you are wondering, ¨Can I retire in Mazatlan Mexico?¨ then check this out and see what you think.
Americans go to Florida to vacation and or retire. Canadians go to Mazatlan. Mazatlan is the capital of Canadians in Mexico. Mazatlan is a tradition for Canadians. They have been coming down here forever. They should change the city name to Little Canada.
Do people like Mazatlan Mexico? Or I guess I could ask, ¨Do Expats like Mazatlan Mexico?¨
I would have to answer both of the questions with a big YES. Life in Mazatlan Mexico can be very wonderful.
If you are thinking about places to retire in Mexico, or if you are wondering, ¨Should I retire in Mazatlan Mexico?¨ Well, come on down and spend a couple of weeks, or maybe even a month.
In this video, we will share with you a bit about lifestyle in Mazatlan Mexico, and this should give you a bit of understanding about what is it like to live in Mazatlan.

Enjoy these mid week videos. I enjoy following your adventures. Thanks Bill
Glad you like them!
Bill, you sound 100% Better!
I just got back from Cabo. Great time, but the criminal influence has grown considerably since I last visited.
I feel much better, but I am at about 99% now, but thanks for sharing. I have not been to Cabo, I will go there this year, or before I move to Morelia.
Thank you very much,
Bill the Geek

Thanks Bill, I enjoy your opinions. I'm retired producing music videos and that can be done anywhere, even here in Canada we can hibernate, who says bears are dumb? haha We have been in Mexico and I would have relocated in a heartbeat but the Janet did not want to. Now that she has passed away, the door has opened again. Keep up the good work Bill, I am sure everyone enjoys your videos. Bye - Joe Schumacher music.
Come on Down Joe,,,,,,

Rent is not affordable at 1200-1500 so I see why you might have to look elsewhere
Yeap, Time to Go.
Best,
Bill
Outrageous
Got to look around, you can always find lower rents
I lived in Mazatlan for 18 years overall, including the last year. I agree. It’s too HOT for too much of the year. We’ll be snowbirds. I also agree about Morelia. Say hola to my friends, Steve Immel and Mike Byfield, who both live there.
Very good Jim, I will have to find them. Thank you very much.
GO BACK TO YOU COUNTRY FOREIGN INVADERS .....................................
Wow rent at the prices of $1200 - $1500 is very expensive that's U.S prices. The only way I can see spending that for rent is if everything included fully furnished, gas & electric and internet. The worst thing about those high prices is that they price most Mexicans out. I know expats are looking to escape the states but don't make it hard for the people whom live their to afford to live in their own country and hard for others looking to come on a strict budget; afford to live there.
To be fair Lenora,
I bet you can find places cheaper than that, but I am very picky. And I know for half of that I can live somewhere else very well.
Best,
Bill

You are 100% right about the dismissal weather in Mazatlán. November through April is just right
Yeap, November to April is a dream, but outside of that,,,,,,, Wow, and I was here last year at this time, this is much hotter than last year. And much more humid.
@@BillDallasLewis Just 5 hours east of Mazatlán is the capital city of the State of Durango. It’s called Durango. Weather is just perfect all year. You are already going to Morelia in Michoacán but for anyone that follows you I would recommend the city of Durango. Besides perfect weather, it’s one of the the safest cities in Mexico.

Thanks again for the valuable information Bill. I love the beach life so might have to explore other options in Mexico as well if the Heat is kicking like you described. Free Agent From Washington DC.
Thanks Bill for the video, I agree with you. Anywhere I've visited in the world, I like the downtown's, I love the energy the vibe and the convenience of everything being within walking distance, and while I love the beach, I can do without the humidity.
Well said!

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts about Morelia. I was born there. Blessings to you from Chicago. ☀️
Hola G,
I fell in love with the place. I cannot wait to move there. I have 8 more months to go on my lease here, and then, I AM OUT OF HERE TO LIVE IN MORELIA.
Stay tuned,
Best,
Bill
Much appreciated, Bill!
Thank you
Thank you for sharing. Sometimes it hard to know our priorities until we live in that environment.
Yeap, you are so right.
Thank you for commenting.
Best,
Bill
Wondered why you were leaving. Thanks for explaining. Good luck in your next spot.
Thanks 👍

Before I hear your speech, I already KNOW you don't like the HEAT in Mazatlan, but, Bill, you have to ADOPT to that heat. Certainly, go out during the hottest time of the day and JUST STAND THERE. Soon, it won't be hot at all - you'll adapt!!!! I like the shopping center there - at least they have A/C and the people couldn't be more wonderful. I remember on HOT days I take my long walks late in the day and walk less during the hot late mornings.
Thank you Dennis,
Let me think about that.
Best,
Bill
Yes this is what I’m trying to do in Cozumel. Become one with the heat 😂
@@allyson1691 I'm just pulling Bill's leg a bit - it does get hot there in Mazatlan, but I"m in Phx. and it's worse here. They always have Mexican tourists visiting Mazatlan much more than American or Canadian and off season I don't see any gringos there at all unlike Puerto Vallarta. Summers, You cannot even leave your dogs outside here in Arizona!!!!!
GO BACK TO YOU COUNTRY FOREIGN INVADERS .....................................
Thanks Bill, I agree its way too hot in Mazatlan! And I was there last November, I couldnt believe how hot it was!!
When it is nice, it is very nice, when it is hot,,,,,,,,,,, NOT GOOD AT ALL.

Wonderfully informative. Much happiness in Morelia!!!
Thank you very much Jessie.

What a joke… rent at $1,200 to $1,500 in Mazatlan. I’m paying $200 for a new, fully-furnished, 1-bedroom apartment with a 50 inch Smart TV, a washing machine, free water and Internet and the only utility bill I pay is electricity for $58 a month. It’s super cheap in Cambodia. Beer is $1 at restaurants and mixed drinks are $2.50. My retirement visa lets me stay for 1 year at a time. If you can deal with 85-90 degrees farenheit and 70-90% humidity you’ll be fine.
When they stop blocking my move
I am about to start hitting ome real icebergs in North NV. And turning 54 in Nov. Not what I expected. And even harder watching Bill hog up all the precious rich Sun. All I get icey grey clouds. I need to make it to Mazatlan this year. I want God to hear my prayer and make the U.S. stop blocking the Sun.😢
Good for you. You are living the life and it is so affordable for you. Your money is going such a long, long, long, way. All I can do for you is congratulate you and give you a big thumbs up.
Best,
Bill
Hang in there Girl, keep on praying.
Best,
Bill
@@BillDallasLewis - Thank you Bill. I always appreciate your interesting posts from Mexico! Safe travels always. 😎
Bill,why do you need 2 beds instead of one. It will be cheaper if you get a one bed
That is what all of the apartments are in this building. Maybe the next apartment, I will go with 1 bed and 1 bath, that would be cheaper.
Best,
Bill
Bill, your “ needs “ mirror mine. I may see you in Morelia. Thanks for the info.
I will be there in about 9 months, when you show up, drop me a line.
Best,
Bill
I’m moving to mazatlan in October and I will need some help with my move so if one can assist me with that I will definitely appreciate it thank you very much
GO BACK TO YOU COUNTRY FOREIGN INVADERS .....................................
Good info. looking forward to visiting MZT soon. And found Guadalajara was too cold for me in January - otherwise I would surely be there. Is Ajiiic cold in Jan as well?
Howdy Joy,
Yeap, that whole area, GDL, Ajijic, Chapala, it real chilly in the winter. That was shocking for me when I left Puerto Vallarta and moved to GDL, 47 at night..... Wow..... but the shocking thing is that it goes up to a 90 degree dry heat every day.
Good luck with your looking around,
Bill
Report back on Morelia please. Very interested in second and third tier cities in Mexico
Will Do,
mazatlan not matzelon
Thanks,
Happy Saturday to you.
Bill

Gotta get my house sold if I'm to be living in Mexico, so I hope that happens. We do have an ideal location and I love being on the golf course - my dogs get a work out. I'll definitely let you know if I go through your area - often, I stop around Mazatlan.
Drop me a line before you get here, I stay on the road a lot and when the weather gets cooler, I will be on the road most of the time. Good Luck with the house.
Best,
Bill
GO BACK TO YOU COUNTRY FOREIGN INVADERS .....................................
Bill, why did you sign a 2 year lease instead of a 1 year lease, was it because you knew prices would increase and wanted to lock -in a price, ? because with your experience in Puerto Vallarta, I'm sure you already knew of the heat.
Hi there,
I signed a 2 year lease because that saved me $150 per month for 2 years. I live in GDL and Chapala for about 8 years, I forgot about the heat. Thanks for asking.
Best,
Bill
1st visit & I think its overrated 😅
GO BACK TO YOU COUNTRY FOREIGN INVADERS .....................................
Good assessment of the area IMHO Bill. I agree that Centro is the place to be as say. It is the real Mexico of Maz. Look forward to seeing future vids Happy trails Bill.
Cool, thanks
GO BACK TO YOU COUNTRY FOREIGN INVADERS .....................................
I’ve been there 200+ times, since I was 7
Lucky You, what a life you have had.
@@BillDallasLewis I grew up in Houston. It was simply just cheap to travel there. I was born in Catania, Italy. We moved to Houston when I was just a kid. It was the first major family vacation. Driving 😳.
Unfortunately, my mother passed away in 2007 and my siblings and I went back and bought a place, after a couple years of looking. Be well sir. Great content. The only suggestion I would have is to look at a “Realtor “, for a lower monthly expense.
@@BillDallasLewis I meant no disrespect, if I came across that way. My sincere apologies, if that were the case.
Would you ever consider living in Guadalajara? It seems like it has a nice year round climate and it has all the amenities of a big city.
Hi SR,
I moved to Guadalajara, GDL, after I had lived in Puerto Vallarta for 10 years. I lived in a great location. I could walk to markets, many of them, minutes. It was great. GDL is a great place. I stayed there for 4 years. And, the climate was wonderful. I got there in the winter, so moving there from PV was very different. I had to put on sweaters and hoodies at night, but it was warm and sunny and zero humidity everyday.
If you can find the right location in GDL that is walk around friendly, then it is a great place. But in some spots, you will need a car or many taxi rides. The. local bus system is very good.
Best,
Bill
GO BACK TO YOU COUNTRY FOREIGN INVADERS .....................................
😂😂😂😂 We agree! Live in the climate you like and can afford. Visit the beach as needed. 😂😂😂😂
Hi Love to Travel. So great to hear from you. Yes, we agree completely.
Tell your hubby I said hello.

Bill

Hi Bill why did you leave Ajijic ? I’m in SMA and am looking at other options. Thanks 😊
Hi D,
I visited Mazatlan and I really liked it. But, I have been in Mazatlan for 1 year now, and I visited Morelia, and I really love that place, so I am moving there in 9 months. So many great places in Mexico.
Best,
Bill
GO BACK TO YOU COUNTRY FOREIGN INVADERS .....................................
Rental have gone up in Mexico a lot since last year. Morelia would be cheaper? How much will you spend for a flat? Tia
Hi Princess,
I really think that it depends on where you live or better said, what city you live in. I think that in lots of not so well known cities, prices have been pretty level. In well known cities that a lot of people of moving to, those prices have gone up a lot. I think in Morelia, I can get a nice one bedroom, one bath for about $450 per month. I think I can get a very nice 2 bed, 2 bath for around $600 US or less.
Have a great day,
Bill

Hey Bill - I've been thinking about Mazatlan as a retirement option for those 6 months out of the year. You said you lived in PV for 10 years. Is Mazatlan really that much hotter & more humid? I thought it was actually LESS humid than PV.
Hola H,
If you are going to be in PV or Mazatlan for 6 months, the good months, you will be fine and you will love both places. I was here in Mazatlan last summer, and this summer it was much more hot and humid. I have talked to many of my Mexican friends that are from here in Mazatlan and they say the have never had a summer this hot and humid. You will be fine if you are only here for 6 months, the good months of the year. Mazatlan is a great place.
Best,
Bill

What about the noise factor in El Centro?
El Centro is actually pretty quiet in most places. Where I live, in northern Mazatlan is very bad. That is another great reason to move out of here.

Bill

Please , don’t call MAZATLAN , 🎉M A T C Z A L T A N ! It pears my Ears ! I love MAZATLAN AND VISITING FOR PAST 25 years but never heard anyone call it Matczatlan !
Thank you. How is crime there Bill?
You are very welcome Puppy.
I have had ZERO problems with crime, ever. Never, ever, ever. But, I don´t do drugs, I don´t get drunk and look for drugs and stay out until 6am. So, given that, all has been very good for me.
Best,
Bill
