A few weeks ago we talked about the 5 colonies you should consider when moving into CDMX, where we presented a broader view of some very attractive areas to move into CDMX. However, we want to open the subject up more and talk about other cities to move to in the country with a better ranking to live in than the big city, taking into account 3 main topics: Quality of Life, Social Cohesion and Satisfaction Index with Municipal Services.
Unfortunately many of us have been victims of the insecurity that is lived in the country, so below we present the ranking of the 5 best cities to live in Mexico, mentioning the percentage of insecurity that citizens perceive in each of these cities, according to data from the National Survey of Urban Public Security (ENSU), conducted by the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics (Inegi). The data are included up to September 2020.
San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon
It is the safest city in the country with a 10.5% insecurity perception index. In addition, in 2019, San Pedro was ranked as the city with the best quality of life in Mexico, so without a doubt, it is the best option to move. There you will find rentals from 18 thousand to 25 thousand by 60 m2This is to give you an idea of the cost of housing.
In San Pedro Garza García you can enjoy ecological parks, museums, concerts, shows and shopping malls so you will hardly get bored.
Merida, Yucatan
With a 17% perception of insecurity, Merida is the third safest city in Mexico, so we consider it one of the best options for moving. Besides having unbeatable security, Merida is known for being one of the favorite destinations of national and international tourists, as well as for its growing residential offer and for having the most important port in the whole peninsula.
Fortunately, rentals can range from $2,000 to $50,000 pesos a month and the options for both investment land and new property are so varied that you will find it very easy to find something that suits your needs and tastes.
La Paz, Baja California
This beautiful city has remained for a couple of years in the top 10 of the best cities to live in Mexico and how can you doubt it if it has the same insecurity perception index as Merida (17%).
Its main economic activity is the tourist sector thanks to its beautiful beaches, but without leaving behind the energy, construction and information technology industries with which the state government seeks to have the largest foreign and national investment in the country.
La Paz is a place for people who like nature and biodiversity, because it highlights the good conscience they have about caring for the environment. So if you are one of those who seeks a balance between nature and the city, La Paz is a great place.
Saltillo, Coahuila
Once again, a city from the north is mentioned, because since 2015, Saltillo has already been in the top 5 of the best cities to live in, along with last year's 3rd place. This year was no different, since in terms of security it obtained a 25.5% perception of insecurity.
Saltillo has stood out for its economic growth and for the good number of universities that exist, in addition it is to only 1 hour and a half of another important city; Monterrey.
It has a modern infrastructure that will allow you to cross the city without traffic lights, a large number of formal jobs, a good number of museums, parks, squares and the advantage that housing is extremely accessible since, in the northern area, considered one of the best areas to live, rents vary between 8 thousand and 20 thousand pesos approximately.
Santiago de Querétaro, Querétaro
Querétaro is ranked 16th among Mexico's safest cities despite a 40% perception of insecurity. The security ranking may not be within the top 10 but its great growth and urban development has left mouths open to both investors and people who move there, in addition to having the largest industrial park in Latin America, an intercontinental airport and hundreds of tourist attractions.
Just two hours from Mexico City, Querétaro has become a favorite city for people looking to get away from the stress and traffic, but not only that, it has also become an excellent host for young students, mostly from undergraduate programs, from many other cities in the Bajio, mainly from the state of Guanajuato.
In this city, there have been large housing developments, so finding the house of your dreams will not be so complicated having the option to rent or buy.
