So, what is it that foreigners do once they make the move to Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit to join the full-time community there? The list of potentials is endless, to be honest, as there is really something for everyone here. Get to know the Vallarta Lifestyle:

The Beach | Vallarta Lifestyle

There is such variety in the beaches of Banderas Bay that you can be absolutely certain of finding the right beach on which to practice your favorite sport (whatever that may be!). Whether you wish to find stunning scenery to photograph, amazing coves to explore, or you want to swim, surf, paddle board, snorkel, scuba dive, or even freedive you can be sure to find the perfect place to do it all when you live in Puerto Vallarta. Get ready to put your hiking boots on, however, because there are simply not enough days in the year to see all that Puerto Vallarta’s coastline has to offer.

Vallarta’s Farmers Markets

During high season (October to May) you will find that Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit is the hub for some really lovely farmers markets! On Sundays there is a market in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle which benefits from stunning ocean views and access to some of the freshest seafood in town. Don’t forget to watch the street performers when stop to grab a bite to eat! On Saturdays from 9:30am to 2:00pm you will find the Old Town Farmers Market in Puerto Vallarta. This market has everything from street food and live music to art, clothing, jewelry, crafts, and locally grown produce! You can find the Old Town market at Lazaro Cardenas Park (adjacent to Los Muertos Beach).

Charity and volunteering

There are few better ways to make friends than through passion for a shared cause, and in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit there are plenty of wonderful charitable causes which would benefit from your time and attention. There are animal shelters, orphanages, and old people’s homes; there is also “children of the dump”, a women and children’s refuge. There are also some schools for disabled children which could benefit from your experience and help. What better way to make friends than by giving back to the community in which you now live, laugh, and love?

Movie Theatres

Puerto Vallarta has almost as many movie theatres as gas stations (well, maybe not quite), and they’re generally reasonably priced as well as utterly charming. Thanks to this variety you can be sure you’ll find one that suits you to a T fairly quickly! At the Isla shopping center, for example, there is a VIP cinema which features in show waiters who will attend to your needs through each showing. If you have kids, on the other hand, there is the cinema adjacent to Pitillal which has a slide running all the way from the top row to a pre-show kids area.

Live Theater

If you’re a lover of live theater you should definitely get involved with Act II entertainment (found on the corner of Basilio Badillo and Insurgentes Street). They are always on the look out for fresh talent, and besides the viewings are affordable; even if you don’t want your shot at stardom you can enjoy the productions they put on! The theatre itself also has a lovely piano bar which is a great place to kick back, have a drink, and meet new people for those who enjoy a bit of luxury.

Taking a road trips

When you live in Banderas Bay, there are plenty of place to explore. Hire a car or take to public transport and explore the many wonderful colonial towns, lakeside villages, and seaside cities which pepper this landscape.

Top Tips for Finding the Best Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit

With some simple steps, finding the best real estate in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit is easy. Here are some strategies you might want to employ to help you in your quest for a vacation home that is tailored to your needs.

Choose the right time to buy

The end of high season is a great time for finding the best real estate in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit as this is the time when most of the expats and snowbirds have gone home for the summer. You will find that real estate agents have more time for you and are more likely to focus on finding you exactly what you want. Furthermore, properties are more likely to be vacant during this time, so you will find scheduling multiple visits to see real estate in one day much easier. You will also get to see the property in the rainy season, which will highlight any leaks or mold problems, as well as issues you might find with regards to airflow.

Get a good real estate agent

It is the job of a good real estate agent to manage expectations and make sure people know exactly what to expect when looking for investment properties in paradise. You also need an agent who can be honest with you about costs and your chances of finding what you want within your budget. Alongside a good real estate agent, you will also want to have a reliable real estate attorney and notary, both of whom a reputable real estate agent can recommend.

Buy Property You Can Afford

Make sure you have the capital to invest in real estate in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit. Most properties in Mexico are paid in full rather than using a mortgage, although Mexico’s mortgage lending business is growing steadily. In addition, mortgage interest rates in Mexico are very high. Some high-end properties, like Villa La Estancia Real Estate, offer developer financing, which is a great option. Nevertheless, the best rule of thumb is to buy real estate in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit that you can afford.

Consider YOUR expectations

How many times have you been told: “Don’t buy near the beach because properties are more expensive” or “Find real estate out of town, so it’s cheaper!” While you will find real estate in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit to be much cheaper in less desirable locations, you might want to reconsider why you want to move to Banderas Bay. If your goal is to live cheaply, then by all means, choose a cheaper neighborhood; however, if your goal is to experience the wonders of this breathtaking location, then choose real estate that matches your expectations. You might also discover that properties by the sea are not out of your reach.

Be realistic

Take into consideration how often you will realistically be able to use your property; how many times a year will you visit. If you are planning to live in your home full time or for long periods, you will need a different kind of property than if you were buying real estate in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit as an investment to rent.
