Sin embargo, en algunas ocasiones puedes encontrarte con la gran sorpresa de que a\u00c3\u00ban existen peque\u00c3\u00b1os recovecos que parecieran no haber sido descubiertos a\u00c3\u00ban. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Gran Porto Real Hotel entrance on First Avenue\" alt=\"Playa del Carmen Real Estate\" src=\"http:\/\/i255.photobucket.com\/albums\/hh138\/beatlo\/Playa%20del%20Carmen%20photos\/First%20Ave\/FirstAve-GranPortoReal_zps1f3c373f.jpg\" width=\"232\" height=\"180\" \/> Este es el caso de la 1a avenida de Playa del Carmen, situada a 1 cuadra de la famosa y saturada Quinta avenida, con su extenso corredor tur\u00c3\u00adstico, desarrollos residenciales, oferta hotelera y recreativa, y dem\u00c3\u00a1s; la tranquila 1a avenida de Playa del Carmen es justamente ese oasis inmobiliario que estamos buscando. De alguna forma suena l\u00c3\u00b3gico que esta calle conserve su encanto tranquilo y desconocido, ya que sirve de acceso tanto a la playa como a la Quinta avenida. A\u00c3\u00ban cuando existen peque\u00c3\u00b1os bares y restaurantes durante su recorrido, conserva a la perfecci\u00c3\u00b3n el encanto de ser una calle tranquila y relajada. En realidad su ubicaci\u00c3\u00b3n es mejor al de la Quinta Avenida, considerando que est\u00c3\u00a1 a escasos pasos de la playa. <strong>Combina lo mejor de ambos mundos.<\/strong> Su ubicaci\u00c3\u00b3n hace que combine lo mejor de la vida nocturna y cultural de la Quinta Avenida (sin tener que lidiar con su gran bullicio), con la accesibilidad de estar a escasos metros de distancia de la playa. <img decoding=\"async\" title=\"A small condo building on First\" alt=\"Playa del Carmen Real Estate\" src=\"http:\/\/i255.photobucket.com\/albums\/hh138\/beatlo\/Playa%20del%20Carmen%20photos\/First%20Ave\/FirstAve-Condo_zps6494cbb9.jpg\" width=\"232\" \/><\/p>\n<div>Ventajas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Una cuadra de distancia de las tiendas, boutiques, restaurantes, bares y vida nocturna de la Quinta avenida.<\/li>\n<li>Una cuadra de distancia de algunas de las playas m\u00c3\u00a1s hermosas del mundo.<\/li>\n<li>Ambiente tranquilo sin gran bullicio.<\/li>\n<li>Acceso con tr\u00c3\u00a1fico calmado para tu autom\u00c3\u00b3vil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Aunque la zona de la 1a avenida no se le puede considerar como un &#8220;barrio&#8221; o colonia como tal, si es reconocido como uno de los lugares con mayor plusval\u00c3\u00ada y con mejor expectativas a futuro.
