Did you know that over 1,000,000 Americans and Canadians already call Mexico home, making it the top choice in the world for North Americans to expatriate? And of all the country’s varied and wonderful destinations, Puerto Vallarta is a top choice for foreign buyers to purchase a vacation home or second home in Mexico.  Why is Mexico and, specifically, Puerto Vallarta, so appealing? We have a few 
reasons. 

  • Location. Apart of North America, Mexico makes sense as a sunshine destination for those from the USA and Canada. Puerto Vallarta offers direct flights from over 30 Canadian and US cities, depending on time of year, and most American flights are 3 hours or less. 
  • Cost of Living. Depending on the lifestyle you choose to live, Americans and Canadians can expect their cost of living to decrease 30% to 50% (sometimes more) by moving to Puerto Vallarta.  
  • Convenience. Even with a much lower cost of living, Puerto Vallarta still offers every reliable amenity that you need for comfortable living, including a range of internet and cell phone providers, excellent private hospitals and schools, and grocery stores which stock not only wonderful fresh local products but have large, imported goods sections for when you want a little taste of home. 
  • Security. Puerto Vallarta is a very safe city to live. In fact, Puerto Vallarta is consistently ranked by international travel publications and by residents living here as one of the safest destinations in Mexico. 
  • Lifestyle. The beach, a sunny tropical climate, a warm and friendly community, great restaurants and entertainment options – all wrapped up in a beautiful city that offers authentic Mexican charm or upscale urban sophistication, depending on what part of town you are visiting. Puerto Vallarta truly has it all.
