@Julien HOLA! I am planning to visit Oaxaca in April and then move shortly after. So excited! I am 68 yo, have a young German Shepherd, and would prefer to live somewhere with a yard and easy access to nature trails.(and relatively quiet) I would love to hear from members with recommendations for towns/neighborhoods/places that might fit my dreams. I also do not plan to have a car, but I do have an electric bicycle. Muchas gracias y hasta luego! (my spanish is rudimentary, but I also plan to enroll in a language immersion program immediately after moving)

Santa Cruz Huatulco, Oaxaca

Are you visiting the state of Oaxaca or the city Oaxaca? I live in Huatulco near the beach, Santa Cruz. Because this area is hilly there are areas that are not developed. In walking distance from my home there is a ecological park, a wooded area in the middle of the town. There are places where you could rent a house with a yard. Some of the newer areas like sector N or O and parts of sector K have houses with yards. Of course it all depends on what your budget is. An e bike would work fine to get around here. It is hot here for some people too hot.

Thanks for your replies! I am planning to live near, but not in Ciudad de Oaxaca. I prefer cooler climates and mountains over hot, steamy beaches.

@aliceah Hi Alice, do you mind if I ask you a question about weather? You say it's hot there. I am considering Puerto Escondido as a retirement spot which is close to you. Is the weather and water as warm where you are as in Costa Rica? I am planning a trip to PE next year and I follow the weather in Costa Rica and PE and it looks similar. Sea water temp websites also show a very similar water temp as Costa Rica. Thanks
