subject: Mexican Retirement Communities New Direction In Lifestyle [print this page] While Mexico offers many excellent locations with properties and services ideal for retirement, a new trend is growing that will make Mexican retirement communities even more appealing for Americans and Canadians looking for a community-focused lifestyle.
And the new trend is just that developments that offer a strong focus on community; plenty of green space, central club houses to enjoy playing cards and pool, swimming pools and lounge areas and a complete set of maintenance and convenience services allow retirees to focus on relaxation and time with their neighbors from back home.
One new Playa del Carmen development, La Escondida, demonstrates this new trend very well. With a variety of property choices, including villas, homes, penthouses and garden apartments, all including a large amount of balcony and patio space, private space and time to yourself is definitely easy to be found.
But La Escondida has integrated these excellent properties into a community-focused design. Only 26% of the total space will be used for construction; the other 74% is pools connected by canals, walking trails, yards and garden areas. There is even a mini-putt for residents, and a children's playground for when the grand-kids visit.
A central club house includes card and pool tables, as well as a gym, meaning that retirement will be relaxing, but also active and healthy. Within walking distance is a new mall with a large-screen English movie theater. There are plans for a golf course nearby, and 8 more already exist in the surrounding area.
La Escondida offers full condo-hotel style services, including baggage delivery directly to your home, transportation to and from areas within Playa del Carmen (car ownership is unnecessary, and the community is car-free, but parking spaces are provided inside the gated entrance), a concierge and a tour company to help plan outings to the area's many attractions. These attractions include Mayan ruins, eco-parks (theme parks with a focus on the area's nature and culture), protected wildlife parks, colonial cities, large shopping centers and much more.
This Mexican retirement community is only a 10 minute drive from the beach, and the transportation services make this easy and hassle free. Low condo fees cover maintenance, and allow retirees to stretch their savings as far as possible. A rental service also allows retirees who use their property only in the winter to rent out to vacationers and enjoy an extra income.
One of the most important points is that those who choose retirement in La Escondida will be enjoying much more than just a warm weather retirement at an accessible price they will enjoy being part of a real community, where they know their neighbors and enjoy many relaxing hours and great experiences together.
