Chula Vista Norte is one of the nicer gated communities here at Lake Chapala Mexico.

I first visited it about 15 years ago when only a few homes were built. Since then it’s continuously expanded and continues to cut in new roads ever-higher opening up new vistas of our beautiful lake.

I found the video below which is very nicely done, but if you can imagine it, the real thing is even better.

Chula Vista Norte currently has ten homes ranging in price from  $248,000 USD to $888,000 USD.

Of course as an Exclusive Buyer’s Only Realtor I can help you to learn about any of them.

I’m one of only 5 area Exclusive Buyers Only Realtors. Four of us work together as the “Dream Team”

If you’re not sure just what a Buyers Only Realtor is or why you should be using one you owe it to yourself and your pocket book to send me an e mail to Sid@ChapalaClub.com so I can explain all the benefits to you.

There’s never a charge to you for Dream Team real estate services.

Siempre tu amigo,

She’s also referred to as La Generala or the Zapopanita. In 1734, she was proclaimed Patroness against storms and lightning. The statue stays in Guadalajara from June 13 to October 12.

After Mexico became independent in 1821, the Virgin was proclaimed Patroness of the State of Jalisco. So she is therefore the Patroness of Lake Chapala.

I think it was about 6 or was it 7 years ago, when she visited Lake Chapala and at that time the lake was very low. Many prayers when up to the Virgin to ask God to intercede. Since then the Lake has recovered year by year to it’s present level.

The Virgin is also the patron saint of Guadalajara, and is highly revered. Many faithful followers also believe that she has interceded for them in asking God for miracles.

Every year this little statue is carried from her home church (Basilica of Zapopan) to visit each and every church in Guadalajara!

Her visit in each church lasts about a week. It takes her about four months to visit each of her churches.

When she visits the Church at Chapala the people in Chapala turn out to welcome her with a parade, bands, Indian dances, mounted caballeros and their ladies, marching bands, and the inevitable fireworks. Take a look at the video below of her visit in July 2010.

We’ve all heard the term “Old Folks Home” but many of them are not really Home Like at all in that they are large, cold feeling, and expensive.

I just discovered a brand new Elderly Care home, that really is a home.

Located in a convenient, safe,and beautiful area of Lake Chapala in an area known as La Floresta.

But, you don’t have to take my word for it. Take a look  at the below two videos to meet Fernando and his Mom Terre.  The first video is an interview with Fernando who will answer many of your questions. The second Video is a tour of the home itself so you can see the bedrooms, living areas and kitchen.

First, Let me introduce you to the car which I think would be the perfect car for Lake Chapala.

I hope you enjoyed the video of this versatile vehicle in action. It has a Corvette engine and is really fast on land and on the water.

They build them to order for approximately $200,000 each….

But enough about the car itself.

Here’s the lesson the car has for you.

The car shows us it’s possible to have two very nice things at the same time.  A really nice Sports car and a very nice Sport Boat.

Now these things are usually not together in the same thing. You either have a nice Sports Car or a nice Sport boat, or both but not in the same package.

Some places in the world you can live very inexpensively, but let’s admit it, the infrastructure is normally very inferior and luxury is not easy to come by.

(Luxury in these places may be not having to walk several miles to a muddy well for your water, but to have running water at your home, if only a faucet next to what passes for your home.)

And conversely there are places in the world where you can live the lifestyles of the rich and famous, but normally these places are out of reach for middle class North Americans, right?

Lake Chapala Ajijic is the BIG EXCEPTION where you really can “Live Better and Pay Less”

Yes, you really can have both… A luxurious Champagne lifestyle on a beer pocketbook.

In other words Lake Chapala Ajijic is like the Water Car… Two great concepts rolled into one.

And, luxury here, like luxury in North America…

Beautiful homes priced lower than in most of North America …

With beautiful gardens,

Maids and gardeners for $3 USD per hour

Great upscale restaurants for Burger Biggy prices

First run movies in English (under $3 USD)

Fiber optic internet connections etc…

And …all this at a surprisingly low cost.

Live very well on $1500 a month and a lot better on $2,000 a month (assumes you own a home here).

And like all good deals you get some bonuses:

Here’s the bonuses:

Year around near perfect weather with an average temperature of 72 degrees so the homes don’t need central heat or air…

Where homes are designed to take advantage of the natural breezes and to blend indoor living with outdoor living…

Where … even if you have a black thumb in your garden in North America your thumb will magically turn green here with the great soil, mild climate and lots of sunny days.

Where property taxes are so low you’ll brag about them instead of complain about them.

Most luxury homes here pay no more than $200 USD per year (Yes per year, not per month)

2 Bdrm, 2 Bath, Unfurnished Two Level in San Antonio Tlay. for just $148,000 USD

Where full coverage medical care is under $300 a year (not a misprint).

So, if you’re had it with North American and You’re mad as H _ ll   and…

You’re just not going to take it anymore  .

+Paying high taxes (and likely to go even   higher),

+Trying to live through blizzard like winters and or blow torch hot summers…

+Where eating out, at even a hamburger place, you feel as if you almost need a small bank loan and really nice meals are only for special occasions

If just some of what I’ve said makes sense to you…

Then, we should talks soon.

Broken Links – What Are They? How Do They affect You?

As you probably know a broken link on a website is a link that looks OK but when you click on it either does nothing at all or sometimes takes you to a page of gobble de gook that doesn’t make sense.

Or as, in the case that those of you who tried to access the promised video on Health Care here in Mexico…

The Video would not play.

So, Let me Explain:

I get a lot of great videos from You Tube to help my keep you informed with the latest information about Lake Chapala AJijic,  but sometimes the author of the video or You Tube pulls it off the YouTube site.

That causes the video not to work on any other site it’s been embedded into.

So, please take this under consideration.

But if a link fails of course I’d like to know so if possible I can correct it.
