When you imagine Mexico real estate, you probably imagine beachfront luxury with beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. At some point of imagination, you probably also include the more tradtional Mexican images of centuries-old architecture, colorful art, and folk music. An ideal situation would be to find real estate that gives you "the best of both worlds" – luxury lifestyle with traditions available nearby. Several locations on Mexico's Pacific Coast give you just this; among them are La Paz Real Estate, Ixtapa Real Estate, and Puerto Vallarta Real Estate.
La Paz, Baja California recently celebrated an important date in the historical richness of tradition the area includes; celebrations for the city's 475th anniversary were held in during late April 2010. The celebrations included a photo contest, presenting current life in La Paz, a "Miss La Paz" pageant – in Spanish literally "The queen of La Paz" – and many other celebrations. La Paz is a city where a beautiful boardwalk and palm-lined boulevards are combined with traditional Mexican architecture and a culture that dates back to 1536. In this city, Americans and Canadians who choose to live here involve themselves in the local community, becoming a part of the city's culture and traditions.
Moving down to the Pacific Coast proper, Puerto Vallarta is a city where you can still find local farmers arriving in the old town on mules, walking along its cobble stone roads, past white-washed homes with clay roofs. For Canadians and Americans looking for a Puerto Vallarta Home, there are many, many possibilities, ranging from traditional style homes near the old town, fixer-uppers in gentrifying communities, and new luxury villas on the hillside or in newer developments a bit further out of town.
While Ixtapa, a few hundred miles south of Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific Coast, was founded in 1972 as a planned Integrated Resort Community – the second of its kind after Cancun – it is just over the hill from Zihuatanejo, a older town, established during he early 16th century, like La Paz. Those who choose to buy a condo or home in Ixtapa will truly enjoy the luxuries and a comfort of a planned resort community, with all of the tradition and customs of Zihuatanejo only a 15 minute drive away. The two communities are closely connected, and the many celebrations, and the quaint atmosphere of Zihuatanejo welcome locals and expats alike.
