There are advantages to having a custom home built for your retirement - such as ensuring that it is retirement friendly (1 story, etc.) and having it designed to you personal tastes.
Now, add on top of that having your custom dream home built near the beach - one of the nicest beaches in the world.
“But can I afford that?†you may be asking.
You may be surprised to find out that you can - in a place with all modern services, easy access and a low cost of living.
Welcome to Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Most people will know about the most popular property options in Playa del Carmen - beachfront condos and homes on golf course or in gated communities. Needless to say, there are many excellent options within these property types - and many that are good for retirees and very well priced.
Yet, at the same time, the advantages of having a custom home built remain.
Buying land in Playa del Carmen to have such a home built is likewise a good option for retirees to consider, for the following reasons:
Good Prices - The supply of land for sale in Playa del Carmen has been reduced significantly by the ongoing boom in real estate and building in the area. Yet, at the same time, the number of people searching has also dropped off significantly as more condos and homes have become available. This offered pressure for new land developments to continue offering competitive prices for land. The cost of construction is also surprisingly low as it is in the rest of Mexico.
Nice Locations - While land on next to the beach or downtown are now in very low supply, there are new developments that are within a 10 minute drive of downtown and the beach. They also offer very close access to shopping centers, restaurants and other services.
Experienced Builders - While building costs are low, there are good options experienced builders in the area that offer a high degree of professionalism and outstanding quality. They also offer complete oversight of the project at all stages, coupled with an excellent communication system (online and by phone) providing the best balance between the ease of a hands-off approach and control.

Buying land in Playa del Carmen remains a good investment - especially for retirees who can benefit from having a home designed and built to specific needs.
