Playa del Carmen Real Estate

If you are planning retirement, or even just considering a relaxing retirement lifestyle before you actually retire, one Mexican retirement community in Playa del Carmen is an excellent option; in addition to being a gated community with close access to many services and activities, the community is designed as boutique resort offering full services helping you live in relaxation, and enjoy the benefits of the surrounding area.

The development, La Escondida, is very new, and has just received its construction license, leading to the next step which will include removing trees and natural vegetation, replanting it in other areas for use later on.

One of the focuses of this community, is, in fact, being eco-friendly. This same idea is reflected in the green shuttle service provided for other parts of Playa del Carmen, and a car-free community, meaning that residents can live comfortable without a car, and can enjoy walks and activities in the green spaces (which make up 72% of the area) without the noise or presence of traffic. (A parking area within the gated entrance is convenient for car owners.) A tour service and planned outings make getting out and about easy and enjoyable. Transportation and baggage service to your front door make arrival home very comfortable.

Other "green" features include recycling and sun-generated power (supplemented by the city electric grid, of course).

In addition to easy, environment-friendly access to the surrounding area, the community provides excellent activities within the limit of the community. The car-free environment allows retirees and families to enjoy the large green areas. A pool-system and fitness center make staying fit easy and fun, and a club house with pool and card tables, and an electronic library is ideal for socializing.

La Escondida offers 50 properties, including numerous options from large villas to garden apartments, and is very competitively priced. Investors, retirees or families not using the property all year round can also enjoy an income from vacation rentals; an optional rental service makes this easy. An in-depth study of the rental market in the area suggests that 20-30 rental days will bring owners to positive cash-flow.

The construction license is just one early step in this exciting new project; contact TOPMexicoRealEstate.com for regular progress updates or more information on purchasing a property in this Mexican retirement community.

One development of new Playa del Carmen villas, Villas Tranquilidad, offers a luxury lifestyle near the beachfront for an excellent prices. The following are 5 key reasons (among others) that you should consider buying one of the villas, soon.

Luxury properties. The 3-storey villas are designed with a contemporary Mexican concept, including luxury features, such as granite and marble counters, air conditioning in every room and large, imported tiles. One complete floor is the master bedroom, and there is a private roof-top terrace. The 6 villas share a large green area with a pool (the entire area is gated). Each villa has parking available, and several patios and baconies.

Beautiful, Gated Community. The villas are located in a new development called El Cielo. While Villas Tranquilidad is only one of 2 existing so far, the community is planned to include a residential area, a condo and hotel area, and extension of Playa del Carmen's Fifth Avenue (a tourist walkway with shops, restaurants and bars), and a commercial area for shopping convenience. El Cielo will include 14 park areas, as well as a bike path and walking trails.

Close Access to Amenities. Everything is nearby. The beach is only 900 yards away. Downtown Playa del Carmen, and the heart of the area's tourism activity, is only 10 minutes away. New highway bridges mean that two new malls, a Sam's, a new modern hospital at the south end of the city is about the same time. 2 golf courses are within 5 minutes (including 1 PGA), and there are 6 more in the area. Within 30-45 minutes are all the benefits of the Riviera Maya, including an international airport, and many theme parks.

Low Prices, Easy Financing. Because the community is new, these Playa del Carmen villas are very well priced considering location, type of community and the design and construction of the properties. They are only $209,000 USD. The developer is also helping to arrange direct bank financing, with a down-payment of only $63,000 USD. The financing is through a Mexican bank institution, meaning the property itself can be leveraged directly, and buyers can enjoy the property immediately upon credit approval and completion of the down-payment.

Only 2 are remaining. The above factors have made these villas popular, and 4 of the 6 have already sold. The last 2 won't last long. Prices in El Cielo are sure to rise as the community develops, which makes for good investment return, but means that it might be hard to find a property of this quality for this price in the very near future.

While most people would jump at the opportunity to buy on the beachfront for a good price, it is worth pointing out the strong points of one particular cheap Mexico beachfront lot development in Campeche, on the Yucatan Pensinsula, where lots with 66 feet of beachfront are available for only $64,900 USD; not all cheap beachfront lots offer complete amenities (in fact, very few offer them all). The best reasons buy these lots are:

1. They're in a beautiful place. There's nothing like a beachfront property near a beautiful lagoon with views of wide beaches going on for miles, the calm sea, and jungle to the back of the property. In addition, these lots are also near the colonial city of Campeche (40 minutes), which has recently received large amounts of investment into restoring the facades, bricked roads, placing wiring underground, etc. Many beautiful old cathedrals, schools and other buildings make this city a pleasure to visit.

2. All services are available. From internet and water connections to nearby modern health clinics, large stores like Walmart and international airports, the Campeche area provides a complete set of necessary services. While some of the finer luxuries of life are still missing, there are a growing number of possibilities; the reason is that tourism is non the rise in Campeche.

3. Tourism is growing. Campeche has been around for centuries, and has virtually remianed as a beautiful hidden gem with tonnes of potential. Just now, international investors are beginning to take notice of the city, and tour groups are beginning to sell packages for tourists from North America and Europe. Two new golf courses and a marina are on the way, in addition to excellent new options for restaurants and many activities.

4. Growing real estate industry. Hand in hand with tourism growth is the newly growing interest in Campeche real estate. Upscale condos are being built by the marina and the golf courses. While the total for having a complete home on one of these lots could be less than $200,000 USD (lot, construction and other costs included), a home in a place like this could be worth close to 5 times that much when Campeche realizes its full potential.

5. The lots are really cheap. Even for this area these lots are really cheap. And in other parts of the Peninsula, prices like this are unheard of these days. For the very reasons listed above, prices like this won't be available in the Campeche beachfront area for much longer.

How can you tell if a development of villas is the top available in the Playa del Carmen area? Consider one Playa del Carmen villa development, Villas Tranqulidad. It offers excellent location, design, security, lifestyle and price. Other buyers have noticed this; of six villas, only 2 are remaining.

These villas are located only 900 yards from the beachfront, in a new community called El Cielo. El Cielo is new, but future plans include shopping, dining and nightlife areas, as well as 14 parks. There is already an extensive bike trail and infrastructure has been laid. The community is a very short drive from downtown Playa del Carmen and its thriving tourist area, there are 2 golf courses within 5 minutes, and within half an hour there are many activities, events and services (including 4 marinas) to enjoy this area's excellent lifestyle.

The properties themselves offer over 1600 square feet of living space, with numerous luxury features, such as air conditioning and over-sized imported tiles. The entire third floor is the master bedroom, (there are 2 more bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms), with private access to a roof-top terrace. The 6 villas share a large yard and a pool, with a shaded patio area.

All of this is within a gated complex; El Cielo itself is likewise gated with 24 hour security.

While properties such as these would normally cost close to double in Playa del Carmen, these villas are available at only $209,000 USD! A $30,000 deposit can secure one of these villas for a buyer, or, if they choose the bank mortgage option, arranged through the developer, they can begin enjoying their new villa immediately after approval with a $63,000 down payment.

Prices like this for this kind of quality and location do not appear every day; this is why only 2 villas are remaining. Contact TOPMexicoRealEstate.com today to arrange seeing one of these Playa del Carmen villas.

When looking for a beachfront condo, most buyers are looking for high-quality real estate (usually up-scale,) in a well designed complex, with good access to surrounding conveniences, in addition to a nice beachfront. Many Playa del Carmen condos offer this and much more. But why pay full price for one of these excellent units when you can save up to 20% or more with price reductions?

Playa del Carmen, located on the west-facing coast of the Mexico's famous Yucatan Peninsula, has enjoyed fairly high demand because of the high-quality condos offered near one of the world's most well-loved beaches with nearby activities, nightlife and services. Within this healthy market, some buyers have chosen sell-off quickly, lowering prices significantly. This means that you as a buyer will enjoy beachfront lifestyle at its best in a place where tourism is strong, and property values offer good return in case of resale.

A couple of examples to consider are:

• a $175,000 USD condo

• 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms,

• 1 block from 5th Avenue (the main tourist street)

• 3 blocks from the beachfront

• recently reduced to $139,000 U.S. - 20 percent savings

• a $469,000 Playa del Carmen condo

• 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms

• directly on the beachfront

• in Playacar – original gated, upscale community

• 10 minute walk from downtown and 5th Avenue

• recently reduced to $425,000 U.S. - 10 percent!

Both condos are excellent for vacation use, relocating to Mexico, or investment through rental income. Resale also provides an excellent potential for good return, with the price reductions. The second property is also an ideal retirement choice. These are only two examples; there are a handful of excellent choices like these, which an experienced Playa del Carmen agent will be able to point you to.

If you are planning to retire in Mexico, you were probably motivated by a few main points, including:

• high-quality home or condo

• low cost of living

• convenient services nearby

• full range of services offered within your community

• security and comfort

While a number of developments offer an good combination of a variety of these in various degrees, one Mexican retirement community in Playa del Carmen, La Escondida, exemplifies an ideal combination of these factors in a way that few other developments have.

La Escondida is a new development, just in the early stages, located within Playa del Carmen. The development plan shows features which point to a retirement lifestyle a "cut above" the other choices. 6 different property types are offered, ranging from garden apartments to luxury villas, all with a very large amount of terrace and patio space. The construction will be of high-quality, by one of Mexico's foremost construction companies.

In Playa del Carmen, the cost of living is also noticeably lower than in the U.S. or Canada. You will see savings in just about everything, from condo fees to the electricity bill and grocery shopping. While the healthcare has been ranked as well as private U.S. hospitals, it is generally 50-70% cheaper.

An excellent new, private hospital is less than 500 yards away. On the way, is a large shopping mall with numerous large stores, small shops and services (including English movies.) downtown Play del Carmen is about 10 minutes, away, with it's tourist-focused shops and restaurants, as well as the wide, soft beaches for which the area has become famous. Many golf courses are within a 30 minute drive.

What sets La Escondida apart as a Mexican retirement community within Playa del Carmen, however, is the concept of the development itself. Only 28% of the space is used for property construction, and the rest is common space, club houses, pools, gyms, and similar community-oriented spaces. La Escondida also makes it easier to enjoy the surrounding area with transportation services, baggage delivery, and outing and tour planning services. Gated security makes the community safe and comfortable.

If you are looking for a retirement community that goes a step beyond the others, consider La Escondida.

A leading development of Playa del Carmen villas, Villas Tranquilidad, has just received its condominium regime, and buyers can now receive immediate financing directly from Mexican banks.

Villas Tranquilidad, priced at only $209,000 USD offers buyers luxury properties at a considerably lower price than similar properties in this kind of location. Some of the key features of the location include:

• only 900 yards from the beachfront

• 10 minutes from downtown Playa del Carmen

• between 2 PGA golf courses

• many green areas – 14 in the community (El Cielo)

• future commercial section within walking distance

• future extension of Fifth Avenue – shops, restaurants, bars, etc.

• gated, 24 hour security

The community where these villas are located, El Cielo, is still very new, with only 2 developments in process. For this reason the prices are low, and they will rise as more developments appear in El Cielo (several plots for development have already been sold.)

The Villas themselves offer 3 bedrooms (the master bedroom is the entire 3rd floor!), 2.5 bathrooms, a contemporary Mexican design, and luxury finishes, such as oversized imported tiles, marble and granite counters, air conditioners in all rooms, and much more. The 6 villa complex includes:

• a pool

• a large shared green area

• a shaded lounge area

• parking

For buyers interested in acquiring a Playa del Carmen villa through financing, the recently granted condo regime provides several benefits for direct financing, including:

• 30% down payment ($63,000 USD)

• immediate possession

If you are interested in buying a well-priced luxury villa through a comfortable mortgage, consider living near Playa del Carmen's famous beaches in Villas Tranquilidad. Currently only 2 of the 6 villas remain.

The Playa del Carmen condo market is a healthy one. For this reason, when investors find a price reduction in a prime location, it is an excellent opportunity to see good return quickly. The market has seen healthy appreciation in prices, with only a small stand still during the recession; well-chosen price reduced properties will easily sell for their original listing prices or more for investors who have the time to wait for the right buyer. The thriving tourism economy will also allow constant income from vacation rentals. Two recently reduced condos demonstrate these points.

Both condos are reduced significantly in price, one from $175,000 USD to $139,000 USD (20%, or $36,000), the other from $469,000 to $425,000 (10%, or $36,000). Both condos have prime locations either on or near the beachfront, where properties have maintained a value with high international demand both from the United States, Canada and Europe.

Either while waiting for resale, or as the primary means of gaining return, both condos are ideally located for rental income. The less expensive of the two has 2 bedrooms, and is one block from the main tourist strip, Fifth Avenue where there are many restaurants, cafes, bars, art galleries and a variety shops, and three blocks from the beachfront. The more expensive, with 3 bedrooms, is located a short walk from Fifth Avenue, directly on the beachfront in Playacar, an upscale, gated community right next to downtown. Although the clientele would be slightly different for each of these units, both are ideal located to attract a large demand for vacation rentals, which provide a high level of income, which varies through the year, but is generally constant from year to year.

If you are planning on making a property investment, consider price-reduced Playa del Carmen condo; contact an experienced agent to help you find price reductions with the most potential.

The common area will also include 8,000 square feet of water canals and pools.

Another very attractive feature is the full condo-hotel style service provided, including a concierge, transportation to and from areas within Playa del Carmen, luggage transportation to your front door, and a tour company focusing on outings ideal for retirees.

The development is directly next to Playa del Carmen's newest mall, which includes a large-screen movie theater and several large stores, including one similar to Walmart, one similar to Sam's (Sam's itself is just accross the highway, 5 minutes away), an OfficeMax and much more. The development is only a 10 minute drive from the beach

Ranging from about $200,000 USD for a 1100 sq. ft. apartment to just over $400,000 for a 2600 sq. ft. 3 bedroom home the prices are well below the current market; these properties are among the best options in Mexican retirement communities, with the highest level of comfort and convenience, in an excellent location, for an accessible price.

Many people feel that vacation properties in prime locations are beyond their budget; while this is the case in most locations, there are some excellent cheap Mexico beachfront lots available on the Yucatan Peninsula for a very accessible price of $65,000 USD! While some cheap real estate is best avoided, these lots are in an excellent location, with many services for ideal for those perfect family vacations.

Location is always the first point to consider for properties, regardless of the use. These lots are located in the state of Campeche, on the Yucatan Peninsula. They are less than 45 minutes away from 2 international airports (the cities of Campeche and Ciudad del Carmen), and the more heavily travelled airports of Merida and Cancun are 2 hours and 5 hours away respectively, with affordable direct flights to many north , offering many options for easy access.

The lots also have direct access to the federal highway, which runs parallel to the beach between the Campeche and Ciudad del Carmen. In Campeche, there is a beautiful colonial city center, surrounded by fort walls. The city has many events, such as pirate shows, and the annual Carnival which are fun for the whole family. Campeche also offers many modern conveniences such as Walmart and similar stores, and modern, up-to-date hospitals.

Along the oceanfront, there are golf courses under construction, as well as a marina. The ocean and the jungle areas provide many activities, ranging from site-seeing (there are a very large number of Mayan pyramid sites) to fishing trips.

The lots themselves are well worth this price. Some of the features include:

• 66 ft of beachfront

• 1300 ft depth

• natural lagoon at the back - ideal for boating or fishing, lots of wildlife, including dolphins

• connections - water, electricity, phone and internet

• building permits

   

For approximately $100,000 more, you can build a home custom designed for your family's needs. Campeche is a growing tourism area, and many more services will be appearing in the near future. As tourism grows, there may also be a future possibility for vacation rentals when your family is not using the property. A number of retirees have already been buying these lots, and you can also build the home planning ahead for a warm-weather retirement in Mexico.

With growing tourism, a lot with a home built on it will be worth considerably more in the future, should you choose to re-sell; Campeche real estate in the nearby golf and marina developments is already being sold starting at $500,000 USD for a condo. Across the Yucatan Peninsula in places like Tulum, Playa del Carmen and Cancun homes in locations like these lots are selling for close to $1,000,000!

One of these lots could be the answer to your family's perfect vacations, and help you plan for a comfortable future.

Playa del Carmen and the surrounding area known as the Riviera Maya, just south of Cancun has been listed by several travel guides as one of the top 10 romantic places in the world, competing with places like Paris. What would be a better way to enjoy this romantic location that owning luxury Playa del Carmen villa, walking distance from the beach, in a beautiful new community?

This dream could be accessible for you as a couple for less than you may think; a new Playa del Carmen villa in an gated community just at the north end of Playa del Carmen for a down payment of only $63,000 USD through a mortgage with a Mexican bank (now offered more easily directly through the developer.) The cash purchase price is $209,000 USD.

These villas are only 900 yards from Playa del Carmen's famous Xcalacoco beach, a perfect place for couples to enjoy relaxing time together, walking hand in hand on the soft sand of these world-famous beaches. Just a 10 minute drive away is downtown Playa del Carmen, with Fifth Avenue and its many elegant restaurants, excellent cafes, as well as many bars and clubs. Two large screen movie theaters are also within a 10 minute drive, which play movies in English.

All along the Riviera Maya there are many great places for spending relaxing hours together, whether its beachfront restaurants with awe-inspiring views, or relaxing in hammocks after swimming in cenotes or touring the underground caves that these clear, calm pools are connected to.

In addition to being romantic, the Riviera Maya is very convenient. The Cancun International Airport is only 45 minutes away, with well-priced direct flights to most major cities in North America. Two large malls and stores like Walmart (and the Mexican counterparts) make shopping convenient and easy. Eco-parks (theme parks with a focus on the area's nature, culture and history), nearby colonial cities, nature reserves (one with a natural flamingo habitat accessible by boat), golf courses and marinas all provide many activities.

The villas themselves include 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 1620 square feet of living space, air conditioners and ceiling fans, and luxury features such as oversized imported tiles, and granite and marble counters. There are 6 villas sharing a pool, a shaded lounge area, and a large yard. The villas are located in a new gated community with bike trails, walking paths and many green areas. In the future, there will be a commercial area, and an extension of Playa del Carmen's Fifth Avenue.

Consider making one of these Playa del Carmen villas the ideal home for your romantic, and convenient, lifestyle.

It was indeed a pleasure to be invited to one of the long awaited events in the Playa del Carmen Condos market.  The event was held last Thursday evening in Playa’s newest gated community that will include a brand new Nick Price PGA golf course, that is currently being constructed. It was a very well elegantly planned and larger than expected. There had to be at least 500 people of combined owners, real estate agents and other VIP’s.  Truly a top event for any Mexico real estate project from any region.

The latest release into the Playa del Carmen condos market started off the night event in the massive zen garden area, where there were performers dressed in traditional Mayan costumes that set the mood. From there we were escorted closer to the pool area, where there was a large stage set up, flashy bright video screens and lights all around. The developer was presented along with several members of the municipality, who gave warm speeches and followed by 2 musical guests that performed.

I was accompanied by some clients that are purchasing in the 2nd released project, Nick Price Residences which are currently still in pre-sale and will offer incredible views to the golf course.  They had a wonderful time and were quite happy to be back vacationing in the Mexican Caribbean after such a miserable winter back home.

I have been keeping a steady update of the construction progress of these Playa del Carmen beachfront real estate properties, yet its always a tremendous feeling to see the final outcome once a developer accomplishes his mission. Especially on such a grand scale as this project was planned to be.

Not everything is about my Playa del Carmen real estate job and I thought I would share this not common event that occurs once a year.  This past weekend marked the 4th year that a magical event has taken place in the Riviera Maya. It is a historical journey back to 500 BC, and is a re-enactment of the sacred pilgrimage of the Mayan culture  to the island of Cuzamil (now known as Cozumel). Today in Playa del Carmen, the journey is accomplished as it was back in the day by handcrafted canoes and the oarsmen, many are brave volunteers, wear similar attire from that time as well.

The festivities are sponsored by Solidaridad, Cozumel and Excaret, the nature park where the group begins their quest. There is a detailed program for the re-enactment including a market trade and preparation for departure of the oarsmen, all centering around a goddess named Ixchel. This is a very important goddess as she is goddess of the moon, the tides and fertility. The ceremonies objective was to honor her and ask for her blessings.

Early in the am of the 21st, groups leave both (Dos Playas) Xcaret and Xaman-Ha, (now known as Playa del Carmen) and head towards Cozumel. Once they arrive, the exhausted oarsmen are greeted with food and drink. That evening the ceremony of offerings, petitions and dance honors to the goddess.

The following day, the oarsmen return to Playa del Carmen to deliver the message of Ixchel to the community to be greeted with joy and dancing.

If you are considering making a real estate investment in Playa del Carmen, among the many good options one that stands out for its excellent combination of location, quality and price is Villas Tranquilidad.

These Playa del Carmen villas are located in a new gated community called El Cielo, which is just 10 minutes north of central Playa del Carmen, providing close access to Fifth Avenue (the heart of the area's tourism) international stores like Walmart and Sam's, and many restaurants, cafes and bars. About the same distance are two new malls, with many stores, several cafes and English movie theaters.

El Cielo itself is a new community with only two developments so far, but is designed for a comfortable lifestyle. Gated, with 24 hour security, residents can enjoy the walking trails, bike paths and the 14 natural green areas. In the future, the community will also include an extension of Fifth Avenue and a commercial area at the highway entrance.

The villas are only 900 yards from Xcalacoco beach, one of the area's most famous and beautiful beachfront areas.

For investors, both considering resale or future vacation rental, all of these factors will be very beneficial in generating demand and return on your investment. The price is very low for this type of Playa del Carmen home, at only $209,000 USD.

What is your dream for your family's vacations? Or your for family's future home? Perhaps it's living on a beachfront, in a home you had designed to your tastes, in a year-round warm climate? If this is the case, some cheap Mexico beachfront lots on the Yucatan Peninsula may be the solution you are looking for.

These lots, priced at only $65,000, are located in the State of Campeche, on the Gulf coast of the peninsula. The location is excellent, offering many services and activities, and, located "just around the corner" from very successful real estate locations such as Cancun and Merida, the area has a growing tourism industry, promising many more services and activities in the future, as well as increased value for property.

The state of Campeche already offers top-quality healthcare, international stores like Walmart and many activities to enjoy the area's natural surroundings, such as sailing, boating, ATVing, swimming in cenotes, and much more. There are also two golf courses and a marina under construction. Two airports serve the state. All of this is within 45 minutes of the beachfront lot area.

The colonial city of Campeche (the state capital) is considered by many to be the most beautiful and cleanest they've seen; a fort wall surrounds the old town, originally built to protect against pirates – one exciting event are regular pirate shows! Numerous little towns are also investing in their waterfront boardwalks and more restaurants and stores are opening.

With all of this nearby, life on the beach would normally cost at least 5 times more. These lots include 66 ft of virgin beachfront and are over 1300 ft deep, backing onto a beautiful, natural lagoon. There is also direct access to the federal highway, with connections for everything from water to internet. They provide a perfect place to have your dream home built where you can either enjoy vacations with your family, or even live permanently in Mexico. (Yes, it is possible to relocate permanently with your family – ask an experienced real estate agent to suggest some ideas, or refer you to others who have done it.)

Your custom home can be built for about $100,000 USD, in addition to the very low price of $65,000 for the lot itself. Some other costs (closing costs, lawyers, etc.) will also need to be calculated to estimate your final price; again, ask your agent both for references for the design and construction, as well as help in estimating total costs for you.

Campeche real estate is a market which is taking off. Nearby luxury condos are being sold starting at $500,000 USD. This indicates that there is good possibility of good appreciation, should you need to resell in the future; it also suggests that tourism and real estate will continue to grow, offering you and your family a growing number of services.

Consider life on the beachfront for your family. Consider buying beachfront lots in Campeche.
