Imagine living in Playa del Carmen's original upscale neighborhood, tree lined roads, gated, quiet, safe, a short walk from the beach, and just around the corner from Sam's Club and a new mall – sounds nice doesn't it? Of course, everyone's first thought is, "Yes, sounds nice, but how much does that cost?"

Consider this option; one Playa del Carmen Condos in the neighborhood, called PlayaCar, is currently being sold at the lowest price available here – only $125,000! This unit is cheap Mexico real estate in one of the best possible locations available.

This condo has been beautifully remodeled and customized, including even nice little details, from a stain glass window to flower handles on the gas and electricity boxes.

The condo has 2 bedrooms including:

• built-in closets, made of Cypress

• matching overhead storage units

The 2 bathrooms have:

• a jacuzzi bath in one and a custom designed shower unit in the other

• granite counter tops and stone sinks

The kitchen includes:

• elegant granite counter tops and stone sinks (as does the bathroom)

• custom made cypress cupboards

• wine bottle holders in the cupboards

• a laundry area with sliding wooden doors, leaving the option of closing it off, or opening it up as part of the kitchen

Other features in the unit are:

• a covered private balcony with plants (adding to the privacy)

• a mini split air-conditioners in every room for added comfort, and the bedrooms have ceiling fans

• a washer, dryer, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and it has its own gas tank on the roof.

• hurricane shutters on all windows, for added security; this is the only condo in the complex with this feature

• telephone, internet and cable installed

• a pool shared by the complex

This condo has been very well maintained; there are no repairs or preparations (other than buying furniture), the new buyer only has to move in. The price of $125,000 compares to a unit in the next building being sold for $138,000, which comes furnished, but has not been well maintained.

For buyers interested in investment, other units are being rented out on a long term basis (vacation rental is not common in this part of the neighborhood. The rental income is about $700/month (8000 pesos) for other units.

This property is ideal for a couple or small family. The community itself, Playacar, is safe and quiet, and very well located; it is a short walk to the beach, and about the same distance to Playa del Carmen's Fifth Avenue with it's cafes, restaurants and live music. All shopping necessities are within a 5 minute drive. The neighborhood is also ideal for walking and biking.

All interested buyers will also get a free list of properties available in Playa del Carmen for under $150,000, so they can explore their other options.

The most important point: they're not going to find another property for this price in Playacar!
