Mexican Retirement Communities – Yucatan’s Restored Colonial Cities

While retirement on the beachfront is an excellent choice, a growing number of Americans and Canadians are beginning to choose a Mexico retirement community in one of the charming colonial cities throughout Mexico. Among these, the Yucatan Peninsula offers two exciting choices – Merida real estate, which is already a favorite, and Campeche real estate, which is just starting to attract a larger group of retirees.

What is the advantage of retiring in place like Merida or Campeche? Of course, the romantic atmosphere of a classic colonial city, with wonderful architecture is one key reason. Both of these cities are investing heavily in the complete restoration of there historic city centers.

Most recently, a large federal and state investment was announced for Merida which already boasts a wonderful atmosphere in its city center. The plan includes:

  • 12 million dollars
  • 2 years of restoration
  • illumination of the colonial churches (increasing visual appeal)
  • increased museums, awareness and accessibility of these museams
  • ongoing beautification of houses and colonial buildings
  • tours through city
  • tourism-focused business, activities, transport
  • tourism development in the nearby towns of Progreso, Valladolid, and Izamal Tinum

Campeche has recently carried out a similar process, placing all wiring underground, and investing in painting and improving facades of all buildings in the colonial center.

Other than the pleasure of living a very charming atmosphere, these two cities also offer the following benefits:
