Many of us have heard the term “villa” thrown out there in the real estate world, and just like the term “loft” for condos, sometimes people just seem to use it as a nicer sounding term for a house. The truth is that “villa” refers to a specific property type which combines some of the benefits of a home and condominiums. The following is a definition for Playa del Carmen villas, combined with commentaries about why this property type may be ideal for your retirement or vacations.

Villas offer the following features typical of homes which appeal to many buyers:

Stand-alone – Many villas are entirely stand-alone. In fact, the structure usually resembles that entirely of a single-lot home. Some villas are “attached” to the neighboring unit, but are not town homes since they actually do not have shared walls; they are two separate buildings with separate walls which are simply snug against each other. In either case, this adds privacy and sound isolation which is often appealing to buyers. ...
... Ground Floor and Roof Top – Like most homes, they are multi-story and have both a ground floor and a private rooftop. With condos, buyers must choose between garden, penthouse or standard units. A villa includes the best aspects of all three, just like a single-lot home. Private Garden Space – Like a home, villas tend to come with private yard and garden space, which is ideal for those who enjoy gardening and landscape decoration of their home, on a smaller scale, of course. On the other hand, the following appealing features of villas are more similar to those of condominiums:

In a complex – While some buyers like the privacy of a single lot home, they like many features offered by the “complex” setting of a condominiums. Villas are homes within a complex. This technically makes them a kind of condominium which offers the benefits of single homes mentioned above. Villas share some of the benefits of condominiums in both lifestyle and ownership.

Common areas and amenities – Shared common areas not only tend to be larger, but also include more items for lower priced properties. Like condominiums, a very reasonably priced villa could include a large, open green space, a spacious pool, a lounge area and other features. Since they are shared, they are ideal for those who know they won’t be using them all the time, but they can also be just as comfortable for those who plan on using them on a daily basis.

Maintenance – This is the “big one.” Villas, like condos, have a maintenance plan, meaning that common areas are taken care of. This creates a hands-off lifestyle, especially ideal for those who use their property only for vacations, or only half the year. Retirees tend to find this important since doing all the yard work themselves at some point just becomes a nuisance. Having this taken care of means retirees can just sit back and enjoy the pool, the bike trails, the beach and everything else about Playa del Carmen. While each buyer has their own needs, and the variety of property types in Playa del Carmen is ideal to address this fact, Playa del Carmen villas are a distinct property type and a very attractive choice for a good deal of buyers.
