It is Lake Chapala, south of Guadalajara, capitol of the state of Jalisco. Listings by agents, especially online, will not be complete. They tend to show what they would prefer to sell. There are homes in all price ranges but the less expensive ones will be harder to find. The fact that the area is very popular and has such a good climate does tend to make home prices a bit more expensive to purchase or rent, yet there are bargains to be had if you are willing to spend the time and the footwork to look. As such, many people recommend renting for six months or a year so that you have time to 'stop, look and listen' as you get to know the area. That would be good advice for any move to a new, unfamiliar area.
