When you are scrolling through different real estate options in the Riviera Maya you will likely look into Cancun, Tulum, Puerto Adventuras and Playa del Carmen; all of which are beautiful places to live and retire. But today I want to point out some of the great benefits of choosing to buy a home in Playa del Carmen.
Playa del Carmen is an upbeat trendy beach community with plenty to offer. This hot little beach town is the home of many expats from the United States and Canada making it an attractive option for foreigners looking to buy real estate in Mexico. There’s so much diversity in Playa del Carmen you hardly feel like you are living in a different country. And with many American and Canadian owned businesses popping up all around it makes it that much easier to get along.
What is it that is making Playa del Carmen the preferred location for expat buyers?
Easy access! – Playa del Carmen is a small beach town, and in most cases it is hardly necessary to have a car. And if you do, perhaps you will only use it for small get aways to nearby destinations, or trips to the super market. Playa del Carmen is a walk anywhere kind of town with everything easily within reach!
 I should also mention that Playa del Carmen’s beautiful beaches and magnificent ocean are a short distance from almost anywhere in town.
Variety of shopping and restaurant choices! – Playa del Carmen is a foodie’s dream with every national and international food selection you can think of! Playa del Carmen is known for its fabulous restaurants, taquerias, cafés and juice bars!
In addition to great food you will find yourself surrounded by a wide variety of different shops, clothing and accessory stores, art galleries, and boutiques. You can find almost anything by taking a stroll down the 5th avenue. And if you can’t find it on 5th there are more options just a short drive away. One thing to mention is that the long anticipated Quinta Alegria Mall will be opening its doors this December bringing even more choices to the Playa community!
The beautiful Playa del Carmen beaches! -  Playa del Carmen is home to some of the most beautiful white sand beaches around. It is the first reason why people come here to begin with and keep coming back!
Choose your lifestyle! One magic thing about Playa del Carmen is that everyone fits in. While Playa is rich with different cultures it is also rich with different age groups, and nobody feels like they stick out. Playa is the home of many retirees and the top choice for snowbirds, while at the same time many families with children and also young party seekers share the town. Everybody seems to mesh nicely creating a very nice environment for all.
 A home for everyone’s taste – If you are looking into buying real estate in Playa del Carmen you have a nice variety of lifestyles and home layouts to choose from. There are plenty of downtown condos and homes for sale, beachfront homes and condos and also segregated gated communities like Playacar and El Cielo.
Playa del Carmen truly has something for everyone. After experiencing Playa del Carmen, one is likely to want to never go home! For many, it’s only taken one trip to get them to move here forever!
