Sitting at home, looking at the snow outside, what are you thinking of? Cleaning the drive way? Driving on slippery streets? A game of golf? Well, probably not for another few months, unless, of course, you’re thinking of heading south to the Yucatan Peninsula to live in Mexico for the winter.
Many Americans and Canadians have already decided to buy a Playa del Carmen home, enjoying life in this warm climate all year, or just for the winter. For golf lovers, there couldn’t be a better choice. Many homes are available in the area directly within gated golf course communities, where a game of golf is a part of day to day life. Even for those who choose to buy in another kind of community, there are 8 professional golf courses in the area, including “El Cameleon” which is host to Latin America’s first PGA event.
Playa del Carmen is not alone on the Yucatan Peninsula; Cancun’s famous Hotel Zone, less than an hour north, is home to a handful of excellent courses as well.
Throughout the rest of the Peninsula there are a growing number of options as well. Yucatan real estate also offers two excellent options. They are located just off the highway heading north to the beachfront town of Progreso, less than 30 minutes away from Merida, the largest city, with a beautiful colonial downtown. Merida is about 3 hours away from the Playa del Carmen / Cancun area.
Heading southwest across the Peninsula, the up-and-coming area of Campeche currently has one upscale golf course residents close to completion, and the golf course under construction. A second golf course development is in planning stages on the highway to Merida.
So, what are you doing sitting around in the snowy north, waiting for the spring for your golf?
