Two factors to consider when buying Playa del Carmen Real Estate are the investment value of the property - how will the property value change over the years? - and the quality of life in the area chosen. There is no doubt that property value is closely tied into the quality of life, which points back to the number one rule in real estate; location. Location determines the quality of life, and the probability of future maintenance and improvement of quality of life. Playa del Carmen can boast an superb location, and, as a result, has shown impressive results in lifestyle for real estate buyers.

Playa del Carmen is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, less than an hour away from an international airport, and Cancun, another well-established beachfront resort city. It is right in the middle of the Cancun-Tulum-Cozumel triangle, making for convenient access for real estate owners to shopping, site seeing, travelling and many other activities in nearby locations.

With visitors who originally started arriving in the 70's travelling between ...
... these locations, Playa del Carmen developed many benefits of its own, now in many ways becoming the "main attraction" instead of the "stop along the way". Among these are the famous "Quinta Avenida" (Fifth Avenue), which includes charming restaurants ranging from local Mexican to European or Thai to American-style diners, clubs ranging from energetic dance clubs to live jazz venues, sports bars, tequila and mezcal (another liquor made from the same plant as tequila) bars, little clothing shops, nicknack stores, and much more. All the streets in downtown Playa del Carmen have direct access to the beach, going past Fifth Avenue, making for a pleasant walk from your home or condo to the beachfront.

Playa del Carmen also has miles and miles of beautiful beachfront, with many spots for swimming, sun bathing or beach volleyball. Scuba diving, snorkelling in the beautiful reefs is also an excellent activity, not only in the famous Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, but also in the access points the area's underground cave and river system.
While Fifth Avenue definitely includes some wonderful choices to enjoy as a "regular," after new residents have bought their property and begin to settle down, they will also want to know about the "other side" of the city - the day to day conveniences that don't show up in the tourist pamphlets. These include two new malls with the best of both Mexican and international stores. Each mall has a large screen theater. Playa del Carmen is small, and can be crossed in 20 minutes, so it never takes more than 10 minutes to get to one of these malls, or more than 15 to arrive to Fifth Avenue or the beach.

A few of the parks also serve as cultural centers, hosting events, offering workshops, craft sessions, chess clubs and recycling centers.
