BiggerPockets

In a thriving market like Playa del Carmen real estate, with many excellent condos and villas available for sale, both preconstruction and resale, many buyers overlook the possibility of Playa del Carmen land for sale; yet land in this area remains an excellent option, offering clear advantages. Buying a lot and building is a great way to own a high-quality Playa del Carmen property at a lower price, with a house the way you want it, as well to invest and see good return.

Buyers interested in land in Playa del Carmen might consider the following possibilities.

Established gated communities such as Playacar or Puerto Aventuras. While these communities have been around for a while, and, generally speaking, the demand to live in these areas has left little land available in the developed areas. When new sections, however, are opened up for development, very worthwhile lots can be found; the price of a lot with construction will still offer savings. An example is the new golf-course development in Puerto Aventuras.

New development areas away from the beach. While most buyers are interested in walking distance to the beachfront, in Playa del Carmen "away from the beach" still means a maximum 10 minute drive. A couple of areas on the other side of the federal highway are emerging as nice, upscale areas, with malls and shopping within walking distance, and secure gated communities offering land sales.

Eco-developments. This is a trend which is beginning to grow quickly in the area. These eco-lots exist in developments which are off the grid, and promote an environment-friendly, natural lifestyle. The lots are well priced and with the demand for this kind of lifestyle growing, they may even increase in value in the near future.

Land in Playa del Carmen should not be overlooked as an option. Interested buyers will find a variety of good options available.
