If you have heard that the Riviera Maya is becoming a top choice for retirees in the United States and Canada you are hearing absolutely right! Areas like Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Akumal and Cancun are incredibly attractive for future retirees due to the lifestyle, weather and the exceptionally low cost of living and property.
Since this has caught on many people are coming to us asking questions about property in the Riviera Maya even without ever having been here. Word of mouth and increasingly positive publicity about the Riviera Maya is becoming enough for anyone to gain a spark of interest in living the rest of their life in the beautiful Mexican Caribbean.
If you are one of these people who have already started looking for property without ever visiting the area, we can help steer you in the right direction before you even jump on the plane!
First thing you should know is that each beautiful area of the Riviera Maya is different in its own unique way. Each town or city is far from being generalized. Cancun has an upbeat city vibe while Akumal offers sheer quiet and relaxation. Playa del Carmen has a euro chic social atmosphere while Tulum has an ecological and holistic feel.
The extremely neat thing about the Riviera Maya is there is a customized area just for your style and taste. Each region offers homes and condos with a range of simplicity to modern luxury living so you will never have to sacrifice quality in your home. But when you walk out the door you are walking to your dream life; one that is connected specifically to your needs! There is more to a beach than just sand and water. It’s about the harmony that surrounds it.
It is important to do your homework about each area of the Riviera Maya and discover how the city or town contributes to your preferences and lifestyle.
If you have not been to the Riviera Maya I like to recommend that you dedicate a trip to explore first. Spend a week or two traveling through each area and get yourself familiar with the life.
In the meantime begin working with a trusted buyer’s real estate agent in Mexico who can help steer you in the right direction, based on your ideas and needs. Your buyer’s agent is an expert in the area and can give you valuable information. A good agent should be with you from the thought process all the way to the closing.
Once you can come to a conclusion on the type of life that is important to you, choosing homes for sale in the Riviera Maya becomes easy!
