Best part to me was the pool and garden. After staying in a contemporary home (Casa 64), we are more inclined to look for something traditional. <br /><br />Lee, there is a really good article in Yucatan Living on the neighborhoods of Merida. I believe that you can link to the article from the home page. There are extranjeros living in all areas, but Santiago and Santa Ana have the largest concentration. I still think it is a matter of finding the house that you like. All of the neighborhoods have renovated homes right next to crumbling ruins. Occasionally there will be several "new" homes in a row. I could speculate on what Centro will look like in 20 years, but who knows. I do know that the city is encouraging renovation and is actually refinishing the facades of certain properties at government expense to improve the appearance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954933541900671235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432942332179095008.post-84031255887007293952011-01-28T06:59:02.391-06:002011-01-28T06:59:02.391-06:00We were in Mejorada yesterday.

I hope it's #10 on your top 10 list. From what you've written, you have too many concerns about it already. I too would be concerned about the open sky light (mold and mildue. Too me it has more of a Japanese look to it. I didn't understand about sharing the garden though. I know you two are having a blast looking at all these houses. Enjoy the rest of your vacation. Cya when you get back...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04302958051239730679noreply@blogger.com
