The relatively few ex-pats here are scared to death that the rest of the world will find out about it. It is a fairly large city and growing but has a large Centro Historico which is the only area I personally would want to live.
In my opinion it is the cleanest and safest city in Mexico with many cultural events and activities, has an excellent year round climate, Colonial charm and architecture, and at the same time offers 21st century conveniences.
I would not settle anywhere else without first checking it out.
