You are not clear to U.S. citizens. They use pesos in Mexico, what are MXM's and are the Range numbers in MXM's also?

Under Nearby Cities your "Cost of living" in Cancun is represented in miles not pesos. What's that all about?

Am interested in purchasing a 3 bedroom condo or one level single family home and would be interested in obtaining information and or listings for this area. Would like ocean view and or beachfront but am not wedded to that . Budget would max at $350k

Does the average cost of rent for an apt meet what I would expect in US? Example air conditioning, safety, amenities. Thanks
