A key factor in any real estate purchase is the views; but when you are buying Puerto Vallarta real estate, this factor usually takes a few steps up in importance - a) because it's so much easier to find a great view in Vallarta and b) because people are buying the home of their dreams in paradise; it's that much more important to get that view that's just right!

So, then comes the question, what are the best views in Puerto Vallarta?

Acknowledging the fact that tastes and needs are different, there are a few pointers that will help a buyer find better views:

Try the hillside - In most vacation destinations in Mexico and beyond, there is a “rush for the beach;” buyers are often entirely oblivious to options back from the beach. Yet, in Puerto Vallarta, the best views are found on the hilside, where the city begins to slope upwards into the surrounding mountains. Because of the beachfront focus, these properties are often significantly better priced as well.

Buy a condo - Because condos are higher buildings, views can be further and broader, and there are more properties available with that perfect view. (See https://www.topmexicorealestate.com/puertovallarta-real-estate/preconstruction-puertovallarta.php for example.) There are most certainly many homes available with excellent views; but if you find that perfect view, and then someone else beats you to the punch, you're left starting over again. With condos, you can just go for the some corner unit on another floor.

Consider all factors - Views of the beach and bay are nice. But in Puerto Vallarta, it's also worth having views of the Sierra Madre Mountains and the charming Old Town with its clay roofs and cobble-stone roads, not to mention the lush, green jungle on the hillsides. You might not need all views, but don't get overly focused on just one!

Indoor-outdoor living - If you go for a home instead of a condo, consider one with large glass walls that fold away; besides optimizing views, they are also ideal for comfort in this sub-tropical climate.

Build your own home - With many homes and condos on the market, most buyers don't consider land in Puerto Vallarta; however, there are hillside lots for good prices available in gentrifying communities. One advantage is that you can have home designed and built that will maximize the views offered by that location.

It's almost certain that living in Puerto Vallarta, Americans and Canadians will enjoy views like never before! Making the most of these views will help make the most of life in Paradise!
