What do people like (and dislike) about Mazatlan?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Mazatlan, they replied...
"I love the weather. It's only rained twice in the last 3 months. The beaches and Malecon are clean and beautiful. However the trash issue is obvious everywhere else although the city is making a noticeable effort. The stray dogs are an issue in town if you are a pet owner. The rent is super cheap but sometimes so are the amenities so don't expect to find a bathtub in any home and most hotels and remember, even with such affordable housing you get what you pay for in the end. The people are a mixed bag. But mostly great with foreigners because that's their bread and butter. I have only encountered a few anti-Americans and the young adult generation don't think twice about it," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Mazatlan, Mexico.
"Expats and digital nomads living in Mazatlan appreciate the city's laid-back atmosphere, its beautiful beaches, and its affordable cost of living. They also enjoy the city's vibrant culture, with its many festivals, markets, and restaurants. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the city's infrastructure and public transportation system to be lacking, and the language barrier can be a challenge," commented one expat who made the move to Mazatlan, Mexico.
