Finding your dream home may be easier than you think
Playa del Carmen is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mexico, and therefore, real estate prices tend to be high. But this doesn’t mean that you won’t find affordable properties. There’s something available for every budget; you just need to learn where to look!
Most of the requests that we receive are for beachfront properties and for condos located in or near the tourist areas of town. The high price tag involved can be discouraging for some, especially those looking to invest in a rental property. If you want to retire or move to Playa with your family, then you should take a look across the highway and away from the tourist area.
As with any beach town, when you move away from the beach the prices start decreasing the further you move inland. Now, before you dismiss those neighborhoods for being ‘too far’, keep in mind that Playa del Carmen is still a rather small town where almost every neighborhood is just a quick drive from the beach.
And this is the interesting part when you have a limited budget to work with – you don’t need to own a beachfront property to enjoy the benefits of living in a beach town. Thanks to the easy public access to the beach, all you need to do is to get downtown by car, bike or on foot to enjoy a day under the sun, even if you own a property across the highway. It doesn’t get easier than that!
If you’re looking for affordable properties, look around the neighborhoods oriented to a local market, which offer great locations and nice, spacious properties and lots. These areas are well worth considering, and you might be surprised by the properties available and the budget-friendly price tag attached!
