Buying a house or condo in Puerto Vallarta
Why would you want to have a home in Puerto Vallarta? Perhaps because of the stunning beauty of the city. Perhaps because the foreign community there includes a lot of young, hip writers and artists. Or because there are a number of retirees who appreciate the good health care in the city. There are thousands of foreigners of all ages, in a community that’s known to be open and gay-friendly.
Puerto Vallarta real estate offers magnificent views of the ocean from many of the hills that the city is built upon. In much of Mexico, homes near downtown sell for more because of the convenience, but that is less the case with houses in Puerto Vallarta, due to the foreign influence here. Still, take your time and look around. You’ll find all sorts of places and all sorts of prices. Rent for a while, perhaps. Visit Gringo Gulch, named for the chic people who settled here when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton made Puerto Vallarta famous.

Not far south of Puerto Vallarta, you could look at Mismaloya, which is becoming developed. Retirees and others are buying and building houses there.
