La Escondida Real Estate News
Yes, definitely! Maybe you still have a few years, or even a couple of decades left until retirement. Youre checking a beautiful Mexico condo or home in a quaint little town on Lake Chapala, for example, then you read something like "this Mexican retirement community is located on one of the most beautiful lakefront locations ..."
Immediately a flag goes up ? "I'm not retired, I'd better look somewhere else," you might think.
Bad idea! Most communities that focus on retirement are, in fact, focused on lifestyle, not simply on a community that is exclusively for retirees. Many retirees have chosen and continue to choose these areas because of the lifestyle offered, and this lifestyle quite likely includes the very things you are looking for when deciding to live in Mexico. Some of these features include the following:
Beautiful Places, Warm Weather

The beach in Playa del Carmen is unmistakeably one of the most attractive things about retiring here. It's wide, it's soft, it's beautiful, and the water's warm. Once you live in your Playa del Carmen home, you will enjoy it as part of your life.
But here's a little tip for you that may not surprise you, but you probably didn't think of; it's not the place where you're going to spend most of your time!
Yes, you are going to be down on the beach frequently, and yes, it will be well worth it buying a home near one of the the world's most loved beaches (as opposed to just about anywhere else.) This is true of any Mexico home in an attractive place to live ? whether a beautiful beachfront, or next to an old colonial downtown. You may go once a week, sometimes more often, sometimes less often.
The point here isn't that the beach (or other attractive item) isn't worth ? on the contrary, it's very worth while! ? but rather that there are many other strong points to a ...
For those who have been visiting Playa del Carmen for 5 years or more and haven't been recently, you are in for a pleasant surprise on your next visit. For those who have Playa del Carmen Homes, the growth and change of this once sleepy fisherman's village, has been incredible even since I've moved here from Canada, about 5 years ago.
The common complaint for travellers or everyday commuters driving from Cancun through Playa del Carmen heading south, has been the lag time having so many traffic lights to get through. This past year the city introduced a brilliant solution: to construct 2 overpasses to continue the flow of traffic south to Tulum or even further south into Mexico real estate region, Chetumal.
There are 2 seperate bridges, one starting at the entrance of town that extends jus...
As time goes on, a trend among Playa del Carmen condos, as well in Mexico condos on the whole, growing towards environmental responsibility, with always more developments including features such as sustainable design, recycling programs and efficient energy and resource use. This direction is being supported by the municipal government which is aiming at creating an Urban Development Plan to promote sustainability and green development.
The current program for the upcoming urban development plan covers the municipality on the whole, but focuses on Puerto Aventuras, Akumal and Playa del Carmen.
In the presentation of the plan in late August, the mayor pointed out the strong population growth of Playa del Carmen, currently passing 16% per year, and stressed that it was urgent to lay out a plan for cities showing careful design and s...
