Playa Del Carmen, Mexico (PressExposure) September 15, 2010 -- A new development in Playa del Carmen, called La Escondida, is promising not only to offer a unique Mexican retirement lifestyle for residents of all ages, but also shows a great deal of promise for investment, drawing renters through this very feature, and offering innovative internet services to give investors greater control.
This "boutique community" - a unique, gated upscale community - offers a large emphasis on services for relaxation and an active lifestyle. Services within the community range from a club house, gym and planned activities to personal chef services, allowing residents both to be active and to relax to whatever degree they choose right at home. The small size of the community (only 50 properties) and the large amount of green space are also conducive to a true "community" lifestyle.
Other services focus on enjoying the many benefits of the surrounding area. A new mall is within walking distance, with a state-of-the-art hospital just beyond. and a golf course is in the plans. A green transportation allows for easy access to any part of Playa del Carmen itself. A concierge, an on-site tour company, and front door pick-up and drop off, with baggage handling make it easy and convenient to be out and about.
The very features that make La Escondida an ideal Mexican retirement community (although also very suitable for families) promise to make rentals very attractive for small groups of vacationers who are looking for a more affordable alternative to a hotel, which nevertheless allows for complete enjoyment of vacationing both at home and throughout the area.
The competitive property prices, low monthly fees and expenses, and high rental demand in this market will allow investors to offer competitive rates to vacationers. This market area, in fact, has very little existing competition among hotels, resorts or rental properties. A market study suggests that owners will be able to enjoy positive cash flow with 20-30 days of rental, depending on the property. (There is a variety available, ranging from garden condos to large villas; the villas will hold the most appeal in the rental market, but the smaller apartments will also offer good return, with a smaller initial investment.)
Another innovative feature is an on-line rental portal which will give owners control of their investment from any place where there is internet access.
This boutique community is an excellent choice for investors interested in tapping into a low-competition market niche, in a development which has introduced innovative features to become very attractive for renters and convenient for investors.
