Owning Property in Playa del Carmen’s Downtown Area

Filed Under: Living and Retirement

Playa del Carmen Condos

There are many advantages to being in the heart of Downtown Playa del Carmen, or Zona Centro as it is locally known. It offers an array of shopping, a variety of worldly cuisines, and fabulous white-sand beaches and Caribbean Sea. But that’s not all; when you are within walking distance of everything, there is no need for car or taxi. You just step out of your front door and all that Playa has to offer is right at your feet.

A Dream-Like Lifestyle

Just imagine waking up to a gorgeous day and deciding which local café you are going to enjoy with friends, a special someone or just you. You can step out your front door and smell the freshly-brewed coffee and the morning’s aroma of a traditional breakfast sizzling on a nearby grill. There are plenty of restaurants in and around Downtown Playa del Carmen. These serve cooked-to-order breakfasts and homemade pastries. After you morning’s refreshments, you could visit one of the parks like Parque Los Fundadores. Sit back and listen to the birds singing their morning song, while looking out over the beautiful turquoise waters.

When the afternoon starts to roll around, you might want to head to the beach, which is just a few minutes away. Pack up some refreshments, a towel and a beach chair, and an umbrella if needed, along with a good book. A slight ocean breeze brushing against your face, while the swaying palms frond above your head add to the Caribbean ambiance. If you wish, choose one of the many beach bar and grills that offer waterfront lounge chairs. Sit back and enjoy your favorite beverage and snacks while listening to live music.

Dinner Time in Zona Centro

After spending the day at the beach, you can walk back to your condo and get ready for an exciting culinary evening out. There are so many options to choose from for your dining experience. It all depends on who you’re with, what sounds good, and your desired atmosphere. You can dine at either an off-the-beaten-path restaurant or on a popular 5th Avenue eatery. There are so many worldly flavors to choose from. Before calling it a night, visit one of the many night spots that provides great music. Take a spin around the dance floor before turning in.

Downtown Playa del Carmen Opportunities

Icono Downtown Playa del Carmen

Not sure where to look for a condo that promotes this type of lifestyle? Here are a couple of suggestions. There are several developments inside Downtown Playa del Carmen that offer “steps away” conveniences. Less than a block away from 5th Avenue and two blocks from the beach there is Veranto. This complex offers studio units, and others, that are perfect for a vacation getaway. It also provides great rental income when you’re not enjoying Playa del Carmen. It has plenty of amenities, such as a rooftop pool, sky lounge and fitness center. Location is everything with this fabulous studio at Veranto.

One of the Downtown area’s newest developments is The Fives Downtown. This prestigious one-bedroom condo offers a modern and contemporary style. Its five-star amenities include a beautiful landscaped courtyard, pool, sky lounge, and more. The Fives also offers exclusive discounts to its spa and beach club locations. Add all this to being right Downtown and a few blocks from the fabulous beaches and Caribbean Ocean. That’s what life in paradise is all about.
