Merida MLS Property Investment Supported by Road Improvement

For Yucatan Real Estate buyers, several factors serve as the most important considerations in their Yucatan MLS property search. One of these is the unique choice offered in this area of beautiful, more traditionally Mexican style real estate in the colonial heart of Merida, Yucatan's capital, or beachfront properties in the nearby communities, such as Progreso. Merida MLS listings will provide property searchers with broad options of these and many other property types, ranging from quaint homes, to colonial estates ("haciendas") to luxury beachfront condos. While MLS property listings can show buyers the kind of properties available, another important factor is the quality of roads and infrastructure in the area.

Merida is continuously developing its infrastructure system, and investing the maintenance of the beauty which the city can already boast. Recently, the second forum by an organization call the "Strategic Plan for Merida" was held to discuss improvement issues for real estate infrastructure in Merida and related issues. The continued improvement of colonial Historic Center and traffic improvements were among the proposals raised.

The main programs related to these issues are expected to be low cost and, at the same time, highly effective. The first meeting of "Strategic Plan for Merida" presented the project "Mobility in 2035", which proposes, among other items, to develop four strategic lines to generate a model of mobility, which includes: sustainable urban development, urban transportation, and road infrastructure. The specific actions outlined include modernization of urban transportation, an integrated traffic light system, improved road signs for visitor activities, special improvements for busy intersections, maintenance and continued beautification of the Historical Center, and a considerable repaving project.

A new Transport Act for the State of Yucatan is also being analyzed by State Congress. This bill would improve the already well developed transportation infrastructure and system in Yucatan. Along with Merida's "Stratigic Planning," the state government invests ongoing funds into keeping Merida's city center beautiful, maintaining the "stepping into the past" feeling created the colonial streets and buildings. For real estate buyers, whether they choose to buy a home near the city center, or any of the many other options, Merida's colonial charm is a key ingredient in the lifestyle that Yucatan real estate buyers enjoy. The traffic and road infrastructure improvements complement the combination of this charm and luxury beachfront with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and the many activities and attractions which Merida and the surrounding area of Yucatan have to offer.

In addition to those already mentioned, Yucatan also includes a rich choice of Mayan pyramid sites, including the world famous Chichen Itza – one of the new Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Yucatan also includes many ways to enjoy its natural beauty, including "cenotes," which are calm, cool pools at the entrances to the regions extensive underground cave and river system. Swimming in these pools is a refreshing way to balance the area's year-round warm weather. Merida and Yucatan also offer real estate owners many eco-parks, where they can enjoy an interactive visit to nature, ancient Mayan history and Yucatan's rich culture.
