Just a few years ago, the north side of Playa del Carmen was considered quiet and somewhat overlooked. Fast-forward to today, and it’s becoming one of the most desirable areas for digital nomads, remote workers, and expats looking to balance lifestyle and smart investing.
So, what’s behind this shift—and why should you pay attention?
A New Lifestyle Hub Away From the Crowds
As downtown Playa del Carmen becomes increasingly touristy and busy, many are heading just a few minutes north in search of something more serene. Neighborhoods like Xcalacoco are emerging as lifestyle havens, offering beach access, better infrastructure, and a growing number of boutique condo projects with modern amenities.
Retirees, especially, are drawn to the peaceful beach vibe, the bike-friendly streets, and the proximity to trendy beach clubs, local cafés, and yoga studios. It’s the Riviera Maya dream, minus the chaos.
Are Beach Condos for Sale in Playa del Carmen Still Worth It?
Yes—but location is everything. While central and southern Playa have seen price hikes, the north offers more value per square foot, particularly for presale condos in the Riviera Maya. Early investors are finding better ROI potential, especially in developments close to the beach, such as those in Xcalacoco.
Whether you’re planning to live part-time, rent on Airbnb. Or simply hold as a long-term asset. Beach condos for sale in Playa del Carmen’s northern corridor are now being viewed as a sweet spot for investors.
What Makes This Area So Attractive?
In one word: balance. Playa del Carmen’s north side offers fast access to fiber-optic internet, coworking spaces, and international services—without the party noise and crowds. You get beachfront serenity with all the perks of a modern city, plus direct access to the 307 Highway, which makes weekend trips to Cancun or Tulum easy and convenient.
For those chasing the ideal live-work-play setup, this area hits the mark.
Want to Get In Before the Rest of the World Does?
Here’s the kicker—there’s a new boutique development launching in Playa’s North Shore that’s currently in early investor access mode. That means select buyers can reserve with just $5,000 USD and secure pricing far below the public launch.
And the best part? We’re spilling all the details in an upcoming free webinar.
