Denise Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Can you tell me of the pros and cons of living in Brisas de Chapala? Just need some insight on the area. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suesinthewind Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I would also love general feedback on Brisas. Is it "fairly" quiet? Dependable water, septic issues, how long a drive to get to Ajijic, etc. Thanking you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 http://brisasdechapala.weebly.com/ We have a friend who built a lovely home there. Very suburban but seems very quiet and a lot of the homes have great views. Very reasonable home prices. They didn't indicate any problem with utilities. I believe the homes there use septic. The entrance is just north of the libremiento junction so it is a pretty fast run into Ajijic. Chapala is even closer. If I wanted a more rural setting I'd definitely give this place a look. It reinstituted security a couple years back, a plus IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 We have lived in a custom built home in Brisas de Chapala for 10 years. You can hear highway noise from our house, higher up in the frac. not so much. We have a well in the frac, water comes to our house every day. Each house has a septic system. Dues are 750 per month which includes 24 hr guards, water, street lights etc. It takes us 7 minutes to get to Walmart unless you are behind a very slowly moving vehicle on the libramiento. 25 minutes to the airport. 5 minutes more or less to Soriana. 9.6 average internet speed. We like the views, mountain and lake from every window of our house. What more can I say, we love it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

court0503 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Everyone has their own personal lifestyles so what suits one doesn't necessarily work for others. But pretty safe to say that where home prices are lower there's usually a good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonia Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 One Canadian woman (Ms. Parker) has 3 or 4 homes for sale due to age and declining health. On the back street, the last house at west end is priced very well and includes a pool. It is maybe 5 years old. She may consider financing one or more of them. We had contemplated buying it as a rental. When we lived at lakeside and even times since always considered Brisas as being best for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
