Santa Cruz Marina, HuatulcoIf anyone is considering a move south of the boarder, Huatulco is the best place to live on Mexico's Pacific Coast.  Huatulco (wha-Tool-co) is a small eco-resort in the state of Oaxaca.  It was developed by the Mexican Government to be a world class resort with first class infrastructure including an international airport two marinas and an 18 hole golf course.  We discovered Huatulco in 1999 after spending five months looking for the best place to live on Mexico's Pacific Coast.  We made the decision that this was going to be our new home within three days and have never looked back.

Dotted among nine bays are thirty six pristine beaches, and unlike most of the Pacific coast, most are safe for swimming. Several of the beaches are perfect for snorkeling and La Entraga has a 640 foot coral reef along with palm thatch covered restaurants where you can enjoy the catch of the day.  Officially Huatulco stretches along 20 miles of coastline but the town is really centered on the southern end and everything is within a ten minute drive.

Aside from the unspoiled beaches what makes Huatulco the best place to live on Mexico's Pacific Coast?  It has some of the best infrastructure in the country. No sewage is pumped out to sea; it is treated and reused in parks and boulevards.  This among other environmentally friendly efforts won Huatulco the coveted Green Globe Award from Australia.  The streets are broad, paved with sidewalks, palm lined, well lit and no traffic jams.  The electricity works, the water is potable and there are a number of international restaurants when you tire of Mexican cuisine. If you are worried about safety don't, it is probably safer than where you currently live.

A major advantage about relocating to Mexico is that the cost of living is less that many other places.  Property tax is low enough that it barley warrants mentioning.  This ocean view Villa with nine bedrooms & bathrooms pays property taxes of $560.USD per year. It is currently operating successfully as a Bed and Breakfast and earns enough to more than cover all expenses, including a staff of three allowing the owners to enjoy the leisurely lifestyle which they came here for.9 bedroom Ocean View Villa for sale HuatulcoView from 9 bedroom villa for sale Huatulco Mexico
