Located in the heart of the Riviera Maya, south of Cancun, in the municipality of Solidaridad, state of Quintana Roo, it is bathed by the waters of the Caribbean Sea.
It is common for anyone, after spending a couple of days in this beautiful region, to start looking for residences in Playa del Carmen and planning a future here.
But what does this magical place offer us?
A city for the senses
In 1996, this small town had a census of only 10,000 people. Today, it is close to 500,000. In just 20 years, its growth has been spectacular.
What is its secret?
Several factors make it a dream destination. The first, without a doubt, is the climate. You live in a permanent summer, where the average annual temperature is 26°C. In winter, you can wear short and light clothing with total ease.
The second factor is its immense natural and cultural wealth. Cozumel Island or Isla Mujeres are true natural wonders, and the archaeological remains of the Mayan culture are very important, such as Coba, Ek Balam, or Chichén Itzá, with its Kukulcán pyramid.
The third is the friendliness of its people, the atmosphere of celebration and joy that you usually experience in its streets. It’s no wonder Playa del Carmen is an internationally known tourist destination, and its nightlife is as lively as its daytime life. You could say nobody sleeps!
Although it is not as large as Cancun, its growth is making this city an international hub almost equally important.
Lastly, the overall cost of living is very affordable and moderate, despite its growth. This will likely change in the coming years, so now is an ideal time for real estate investment.
Real estate in Playa del Carmen
If this city has already captivated you, even without visiting it, don’t worry: it happens to all of us.
The good news is that housing developments in Playa del Carmen are within reach. The best residential options are available in Aldea Serena, located in one of Playa del Carmen’s most exclusive residential areas. On the other hand, Selvanova offers a unique concept of fully individual residences with luxury finishes, featuring unique architecture where tranquility, comfort, and good taste blend seamlessly in a secure environment.
Their prices, while not exactly cheap, are still very reasonable. The outlook is that they will rise significantly in the coming years, so it may very well be a great investment opportunity, and certainly a place where one can move to live peacefully.
Due to the increasing population, new housing developments are authorized every year in different areas. This has also fostered an emerging real estate market and a construction-driven economy, creating numerous jobs.
A safe investment
As always, we recommend good advice before acquiring a property in this region. Not only because of the necessary documentation and legal checks, but also for property evaluation and market knowledge. This is especially important if you are a foreigner or not familiar with the area.
We hope you can soon enjoy this wonderful city!
