Jackie Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I am helping a friend who is considering renting a house 'out in the country' in San Nickolas. She is not familiar with this area. She is a single senior female. Can you offer some pluses, minuses, concerns, any personal experience living there, and etc.. Thank you !

tomgates Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Why don't you look at the posts about cartel activity in that area. Not exactly appropriate for a "single senior female". IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a different story on the south side of the lake near Tuxcueca and around the municipality of Tizapan el Alto. I have numerous acquaintances who reside east of Chapala and they are all happy living there. And yes, some are single females. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibarra Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 If you research the area you may want to try San Nicolás de Ibarra (Jalisco). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be San Luis Soyatlan the home of the finest vampiros, that you're groping for and you were in real estate before you left here?

chicamysterious Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 I live out here. Moved from Zapopan to Ajijic and a few years later then to here. That was 5 years ago. Its nice and quiet. Neighbors are as nice as can be. They even came over and helped me repaint without me saying a word. Maybe its just me but the open areas seem to have a better breeze off the lake. A lot less traffic and crowds. Ive been out here long enough that I now consider Ajijic horrible with traffic. Thats how spoiled I am now. I would probably die of Stress if I had to go back to Los Angeles. The only things I have any Issue with is maybe shopping. Of course you can buy whatever you need but I still like to go to Soriana once in awhile. If she has a car thats going to help. If not plenty of "Local Ubers" and taxis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
