Cuenca, Ecuador
Las Vegas, Nevada
Cuenca has been touted as one of the best low cost retirement cities for Americans, but it seems to be getting more expensive while Las Vegas costs have dropped dramatically in the last few years due to the real estate crash plus super high unemployment. You can now get very cheap condos that are not in the ghetto areas of Las Vegas.
Cuenca has the best weather and is super-mild year round since it is almost always in the 50's to 70's compared to freezing and windy winters and blazing sizzling hot summers of Las Vegas, but it is a very drastic move to move to Ecuador especially if you don't speak Spanish.
Has anyone compared both places as low cost retirement spots?
