Dancing and singing are commonly part of family gatherings, bringing the old and young together, no matter what kind of music is being played, like cumbia, salsa, merengue or the more Mexican banda.

Most middle and high income families live in single houses, commonly found within a walled village, called "fraccionamiento". Swimming pools or golf clubs, and/or some other commodities are found in these fraccionamientos. Houses inside them tend to be of higher quality, and larger than other homes, most of them with at least three or four bedrooms and even maid quarters and laundry.

Mexicans are people oriented, and they will put friends, family and relatives before work or business matters.
