Living in Ajijic or Chapala? Which One Is Right For You?

Mariana Lange Last Updated on

If you were to ask the majority of retirees and other expats living in the Lake Chapala area what they love about it, you’d get a variety of opinions.

Everything from great weather, good food, rich culture, various events, nightlife, and lower cost of living would be the norm. Ajijic is the mecca of this area for expats who seek a well-established expat community. But what about neighboring Chapala?

In this video, I want to take you on a quick journey through Ajijic and Chapala so you can learn about the differences between both towns, the rental market in each, and why you might like one over the other.
