Oaxaca Mexico Cost of Living
After you have visited at least 4 or 5 places in Mexico, then consider where you want to live. Once it is time to pick a place to rent for a year or so, I recommend renting an Airbnb apartment here for a few weeks. If you try to rent over the Internet you will be quoted only Gringo prices. If you come put your boots on the ground here, I guestimate about $500-600 USD for a decent 1 bedroom apartment in the old town area of Oaxaca Mexico. I have used that number below.
