Latin America is a land of great contrasts - they have regions with a quality of live comparable to Norway, as opposed to regions with income, education and life expectancy equivalent to that of Haiti or Madagascar. As such, Mexican and Central American housing widely varies upon two things - climate and cost:

  • The really poor usually live on small cardboard shacks, in irregular settlements known as ciudades perdidas (lost cities).
  • For low to middle class housing, you could find humble palm shacks along the coast, adobe houses on desert climates or wood cabins in more temperate climates; large prefab housing projects and single-family dwellings made of filler block are also common in major cities.
  • Medium income families would afford brick houses with a small backyard and sometimes, a front garage or lawn; in towns and cities, apartment buildings and condominiums are common, but most buildings have 5 stories or less.
  • Upper-class people in Mexico usually buy pretty large departments and lofts (up to 2,000 sq ft) in tall apartment buildings (up to 15 stories high), or large houses in the suburbs with garage space for 2-3 vehicles and a backyard with optional pool.
  • The Mexican wealthy and super-rich usually have huge McMansions or departments in large residential projects and horizontal condos with spa and golf club. These are of course, in enclosed communities.

All my homes. Manuel, Esteban, Juse, Mario, Omar, Enrique and Jesus just to name a few. By the way, if the biblical Jesus was born in the Middle East, why did they give him a Mexican name?
