As the 21st century moves ahead, more and more property buyers are interested in sustainable development and construction, protecting natural surroundings, and conserving resources, which also helps to keep the bills low. Cozumel real estate has been moving to meet this growing demand among U.S. and Canadian buyers, offering various real estate options which respect the island’s beautiful nature in a variety of ways.
The Cozumel real estate industry has had a long history of protecting the natural setting of the island, which has also been one of the key factors which continues to draw tourists and real estate buyers to the island. Everything from exploring the lush, green jungle to diving in the Mesoamerican reef, for which the island has become famous, are among the key features which attract people to Cozumel.
Real estate buyers have several different options for sustainable focused properties. Ecological lots in the island’s interior are available in several communities where home construction leaves the majority of the natural forest standing, integrating nature quite directly into the community. Many of these lots are available for very accessible prices.
On the other end of the spectrum are high-end luxury condominiums and homes which also include the natural flora in the modern design of the development; many newer developments also include resource-efficient fixtures, saving water and electricity, both directly and through design reducing heat and optimizing air flow to cut down on the bill from the air-conditioner. While the bills already tend to be low in Cozumel, this kind of efficiency can add even more significant savings.
Many buyers choose Cozumel because of its nature, and are eager to participate in conserving this nature. While many of the prime Mexico real estate destinations have similar focuses, Cozumel’s history of one of the few communities in this part of Mexico constantly inhabited since ancient Mayan times makes the preservation of this long-standing close contact of civilization on pure nature a special situation.
