Some people decide that the expat lifestyle is for them as soon as they can make it work; others have to think about it for a time. For those that have to think about it, here's a list of some of the advantages of owning Playa del Carmen real estate and living in this beachfront paradise as an expat.
The Beaches - Playa del Carmen's beaches are among the most beautiful in the world; soft, white sand, the aqua water of the Caribbean, the palm trees and the soft waves splashing up on the shore can all be a part of regular, day to day life.
Warm Weather - The temperature in Playa del Carmen averages around 78 for the year. It's rare that a day will pass without sunshine. Besides being easier on the health, the warm, sunny weather just makes people happier.
Low Cost of Real Estate - Nice real estate options in Playa del Carmen are available for every budget and lifestyle. Nice condos near or on the beach, golf course homes and lots in new communities are just a few examples of what can be found for accessible prices.
Low Cost of Living - The cost of living is usually about half that of what it would be back home - and even less compared to warm, sunny beachfront locations. This means people can live well on a smaller budget, or simply enjoy a few more luxuries in life.
Beautiful Nature - The subtropical jungle surrounding Playa del Carmen offers residents all sorts of adventure and outdoor activity, including swimming and snorkeling in the “cenotes†- natural, fresh-water pools at the entrance points to the area's underground caves. Just off the beach itself is the world's second largest barrier coral reef.
Easy Access Homes - The Cancun International Airport is only 45 minutes away. Well-priced, direct flights are available to all major destinations in North America. In recent years, there have also been a growing number of discount airlines.
Friendly Neighbors - Besides the large expat community, Canadians and Americans will find Playa del Carmen's locals very friendly and welcoming. Many know English, and are happy to practice it and welcome a new neighbor.
