Tips for Buying a Retirement Property in Mexico

But current property values in the Banderas Bay region mean that there has never been a better time to buy the perfect home for your golden years.  Luxury Beach offers some considerations when buying your retirement property in Mexico:

Accessibility:  as we age, the accessibility of a property becomes much more important.  Buildings with elevators, access ramps, wide doorways and low cabinets are all important factors for those facing mobility challenges.

Climate:  extreme temperatures can be dangerous for the older population.  Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit boast near perfect weather all year round, but consider the ventilation and air-conditioning available in your possible retirement property in Mexico to ensure that you’re comfortable all-year round.

Access to Health Care:  Mexico has some of the best private healthcare available anywhere in the world and in recent years Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit have seen a huge increase in medical tourists, those looking for medical, cosmetic or dental procedures that equal the quality of their home country but with drastically reduced wait times and costs.  Most foreign insurance carriers offer full-coverage policies for those living year round or partially in Mexico at very affordable rates.

Low Maintenance:  whether you are looking for a turn-key winter home or a permanent residence, not having to worry about gardening, home or pool maintenance makes for a headache and backache-free retirement.

Amenities:  for many looking to buy a retirement property in Mexico, the key is to live where you play.  And many luxury developments in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit not only offer on-site amenities like beach clubs, pools, gyms and spas but are also centrally located around golf courses, restaurants, water sports and more.
