In this video, Doug Morgan of TOPMexicoRealEstate.com discusses one of the more interesting Playa del Carmen real estate opportunities which receives relatively little attention; this is the neighborhood of Colosio, just north of downtown - much of it is comfortable walking distance, and a 5 minute walk to the beach. Â Originally founded in the early 90's as the town's first working class neighborhood, it's proximity to downtown and the beach, combined with its many small stores and restaurants make a pleasant, convenient place to live. Because of its working-class origins, prices are very low for this close to the beach; but the transformation is already beginning - shops that sell items like homemade Italian pasta, quaint specialty restaurants and pizza shops with unique atmospheres, and a decent supply of very well-built Playa del Carmen homes for sale that are just in need of a little loving touch to turn them into a dream home near the beach, are all beginning to capture the attention of a handful of expat investors and homeowners. Â What's more, the community is very quiet, relaxed and peaceful. Â TOPMexicoRealEstate.com; Mexico's Leading Network of Specialists for Finding and Purchasing Mexican Properties Safely
