Yucatan Real Estate's Colonial Gem Merida's Historic Center

At the heart of Yucatan Real Estate is the large metropolitan capital

, Merida, with its awe-inspiring colonial downtown. Merida MLS listings will show a very wide variety of property types, from commercial land to condo units, for many different budgets. But one of the highlights of Merida properties, setting it aside from many other real estate choices, are the beautiful homes near the colonial heart of the city. The colonial downtown has been a defining factor in Merida's growth and development, serving as an attraction for many tourists, and as new home for many Americans and Canadians who decide buy real estate in this city.

A recent tourism-focused program has recruited a large number of students in tourism to report about the places of interest in English, Spanish and French for foreign visitors arriving in the Historic Center - on average about 67 thousand of the 70 thousand tourists arriving in the state of Yucatan visit Merida's Historical Center. As they become familiar with the area new real estate owners eventually become "locals" in a sense knowing all the landmarks and histories, but as new residents, Americans and Canadians who buy properties in Merida will also benefit from these services.

Information will also be readily available from the numerous Municipal police who are always present in the city center; in the parks and the beautiful city square, with its walkways, benches, gardens and trees, there are police on duty 24-hours a day. While the city is one of the safest to be found, the police presence helps maintain this aspect as well as offer help to anyone new to the area who might need directions or assistance of other types.

The program will also allow new real estate owners in the area get to know the best, legitimate shops and handicraft markets. The information given in the police centers will point new-comers to the locations with the best reputation and will accept complaints for future reference.

Concerning the new program, the mayor commented, "The aim is that the tourist knows the beauty of downtown." For new residents who have bought properties in Merida, they will soon know the beauty of this city very well, and the program will help make the transition from "new-comer" to the "foreigner" who knows his way around as well as, or maybe even better than, the locals.

Many Canadians and Americans have imagined living in the charming atmosphere of a colonial city, and now more and more are realizing that this dream can be a reality in a city that is clean, safe and beautiful. Yucatan MLS listings offer many different property types, but real estate in Merida's colonial Historical Center is one of the options which makes this city truly unique.
