We suggest that you purchase the Informador newspaper or Colony Reporter to search. If you are looking for an apartment - we have a FEE for finding apartments since most apartments for rent in Guadalajara are managed by the owners and they do not pay us a comission as house rentals normally do. There are NOT a lot of apartments in Guadalajara available for rent, many are condos where the owners reside. University students, young recently married couples. Remember, housing IS NOT THE SAME all over the world.
Construction is VERY solid and different in Mexico.
Beautiful stone, brick and tiles are found in many of the houses. So remember, you ARE in another country and you win some you lose some, it depends on what YOUR priorities are.
