Top 10 places to retire abroad

Puerto Vallarta Region, Mexico

Mexico is a haven for American retirees, but one of the better places for potential movers would be the Puerto Vallarta region. Its combination of urban amenities and quiet villages makes it a good destination for those looking to avoid the tourists and the crime that plagues the country. Sure, Puerto Vallarta has its share of tourists, but many areas of the region, including the new luxury condo area Nuevo Vallarta, have a peaceful, cultural charm with villages and plazas. The area is also in the price range of many retirees, with a vast amount of bargains to take advantage of, and with condos and houses running on average about $200,000.
