These days the big news for Tulum, located on the Caribbean side of the Yucatan peninsula, is the progress in planning the new Riviera Maya International Airport. But what about those of us buying Playa del Carmen real estate? What does this new airport mean for us?
One thing is more convenience. With the Cancun airport already under an hour away, the new airport in Tulum will provide a second option, also less than an hour away. Having more direct flights available from two airports will mean that residents will have easier travel back home, and more choices for inexpensive flights.
Another thing is increased property value. While the new airport is expected to bring the largest growth to Tulum, as mentioned above, it places Playa del Carmen directly in the middle of the two locations, strengthening its central role in the tourism of the Riviera Maya. Increased growth in Tulum as well as increased tourism will bring ongoing growth in demand for properties in Playa del Carmen.
In terms of investment, this is an excellent indication. Increasing tourism on the Riviera Maya will also mean increased demand for good rental properties, either on the beachfront, or within reasonable walking distance. Playa del Carmen has already shown solid property appreciation over the past decade and a half, and this move will only consolidate this situation.
What kind of Playa del Carmen real estate should you be looking for? There are many excellent options, including homes, condos and land. There are great properties downtown, a short walk from all conveniences and the beachfront, there are golf course developments and new gated communities. New investment on the non beach side of the highway is also bring new residential development and services to that area still only 10 minute drive from the beach. And prices? Starting as low as $45,000 USD, and going up to over a million and beyond, the choice is yours.
