When people consider Playa del Carmen real estate, the property type that comes to mind first is condos; however, there are also a number of buyers who are interested in homes, and there is a good variety in this market as well. Those who wish to live in a single home in Playa del Carmen can choose between buying a completed Playa del Carmen home for sale or Playa del Carmen land for sale and having a custom home built. The following is a brief description of each, which can be useful to help buyers choose between them.
Â
Playa del Carmen Homes
Homes in Playa del Carmen are most popular in gated communities. One community which stands out as a favorite is Playacar. Playacar combines exclusivity of gated communities, the upscale atmosphere of a golf course (not to mention the convenience of having professional golf a walk away), and close access to both the beach and to downtown - both often within walking distance.
Â
Numerous other gated communities offer similar benefits. Some are something between a gated community and a large complex that is more like a small resort for residents. These tend to hold high appeal for retirees who use their property only during the winter.
Â
Others are small golf course complexes that sell single lot homes as well as patio homes and villas. Villas are, in fact, a nice option for those who like to enjoy the comfort of single home, but with the convenience of a condo-style complex where maintenance is much easier and there tend to be more amenities.

Playa del Carmen Land
Playa del Carmen land is one of the most over-looked property types. Because land tends to be expensive downtown, buyers assume that this is true for all areas. Many gated communities (newer than Playacar, or entering a new phase of development) also offer lots for sale; some gated communities are dedicated solely to lots. Very reasonable prices can be found, some in areas that promise to increase in value as the community grows.
Â
There is also another option for lots. When the town first began to grow in the early 90s, some beachfront communities were established for lower-income workers who set up quiet, friendly neighborhoods, but often underdeveloped. In a number of cases, there are still lots available for sale. These communities – walking distance to the beach, and very close to downtown – are showing every sign of beginning gentrification.
Â
For most buyers, the choice between the two options – complete homes or land – will become clear upon viewing a few properties.
