5:50 Why we love this neighborhood

Living in an area that’s primary focus is tourism can become a bit overwhelming over time. As foreigners, expats or retirees living in another country we want to have access to all the amenities that a tourist area brings while also being able to get away from the crowds and immerse ourselves in the local culture.

We did a lot of research into neighborhoods prior settling on a place and there were a lot of reasons why we loved visiting Puerto Vallarta. Just keep in mind that your perfect vacation area might not be the same as your perfect place to live. When we previously visited Puerto Vallarta for short durations we would always stay in the Romantic Zone and while we still love it down there and still visit from time to time, for a long stay or permanent move we chose to live in 5 de Diciembre.

The colonia of 5 de Diciembre starts at the north end of Puerto Vallartas famous malecon and extends up into the mountains. This wonderful neighborhood is a great place to explore and a top neighborhood to live in if you choose to move to Mexico. This is a great place in Puerto Vallarta to escape the crowds of tourist and immerse yourself in the local Mexican culture.

Stroll the cobblestone streets, eat some amazing street tacos and visit the 5 de Diciembre cemetery. There is so much to see and do here, be sure not to miss it on your next visit. There are nice grocery stores and supermarkets and there is always plenty to see and do. This is the perfect neighborhood for expats, foreigners and retirees to live as is close to everything, has great charms and is affordable.

We really can’t think of a single thing that we don’t like about living in the 5 de Diciembre neighborhood. Everyone has been extremely friendly since the day we arrived, we settled in quickly and it feels like home. Whether you a looking to move to Puerto Vallarta in 2021 or just looking for places to explore on you next vacation be sure to take a walk over and explore 5 de Diciembre for yourself.
