Top 3 Neighborhoods in Playa del Carmen

Filed Under: Real Estate

Playa del Carmen - Portal Maya

Playa Del Carmen is an incredible destination that has a variety of distinct neighborhoods with unique characteristics. When you first arrive in Playa (as the locals call it), you will immediately want to begin exploring all its surrounding communities. When visiting the region you are spoilt for choices. For example, you can go shopping, try different cuisines, enjoy local attractions or relax on the beach. Playa del Carmen invites you to experience everything it has to offer. Besides, if you are considering the possibility of investing in your vacation, retirement or investment home in the area, you might want to consider these neighborhoods.

Little Italy: Playa del Carmen’s own Italian neighborhood

The famous pedestrian-friendly Fifth Avenue leads you through several culturally-diverse parts of the city. One such community that resides on its northern end is Little Italy. This neighborhood is well-known for its fabulous homemade Italian food and authentic atmosphere. Additionally, this particular area is a little less congested, allowing guests to casually stroll around and see everything. Moreover, Little Italy offers several real estate options. Whether you’re looking for a vacation or investment home, this is a great area to consider. Its newly-paved streets are divided by greenways and lined with unique contemporary-styled buildings.

Real estate opportunity: this beautiful 2-bedroom condo two blocks from the pristine white-sand beaches. The condo comes equipped and has amenities such as pools, elevator, and commercial areas.

Coco Beach: Playa del Carmen’s perfect getaway

One of Playa del Carmen’s most up-and-coming beaches is Coco Beach. This parcel of white, sugar-fine sand that brushes against the Caribbean Sea offers a relaxing day in the sun. Coco Beach has been somewhat a hidden secret for quite a while. With the exception of the guests at the Reef Coco Beach Resort, this piece of paradise has been virtually left all alone. Without a doubt, the area is slowly gaining a reputation for being a must-visit destination. That is why investing in real estate in the area will guarantee amazing return on investment for your vacation rental.

Real estate opportunity: this elegant and spacious 3-bedroom penthouse with ocean views. Enjoy an American-style open kitchen, large living spaces and a private rooftop terrace with jacuzzi.

Downtown Playa del Carmen: the heart of the region

You get gorgeous beaches, access to Fifth Avenue, a variety of shops, restaurants and bars, as well as exciting attractions. Living in Downtown Playa del Carmen is perfect for those expats who want everything located nearby: banks, medical centers, supermarkets, and more. During the day you can enjoy meals at plenty of low-key or high-end restaurants, grills or cantinas.

Real estate opportunity: this perfectly-located 3-bedroom condo steps from the beach. Relax in the rooftop’s infinity pool or lounge with views of the Caribbean Sea.
