5 Reasons Why Puerto Vallarta Is a Great Place to Retire

Puerto Vallarta is a warm place to retire, and Rivera Cuale is the perfect location to create your own tropical paradise. If it gets too hot, there are no worries. You can cool off with a dip in the pool, enjoy the cool breezes from your terrace, or just relax indoors, under the air conditioner. At Rivera Cuale you have it all. Spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, the soothing roar of the Cuale River at your doorstep, and palm tree filled tropical mountains. Ahhh…

Aside from being a sunny, tropical haven, the cost of living is substantially lower here than in the U.S. and Canada! And, if that’s not enough, here are several more reasons that might tempt a permanent move, or a second home in Puerto Vallarta: 

5. Puerto Vallarta will host the sailing, triathlon, beach volleyball, and open water swimming competitions for the 2011 Pan American Games. Don’t miss the excitement!

4. The Mexican government is spending billions of dollars on infrastructure and tourist development throughout the country. Improvements in Puerto Vallarta include: construction of a new beach volleyball stadium; modernization of the international airport; expansion of the maritime terminal which now accommodates three, full sized cruise ships; creation of bridges and tunnels to allow better access and less congestion on our local roads; a super-highway is under construction that will connect north and south; and Puerto Vallarta has the best water treatment facility in Latin America.
  
3. Mexico is experiencing a new group of expats. A high percentage of parents with school-aged children are leaving the United States and moving to Mexico, particularly Puerto Vallarta. The American School of Puerto Vallarta (for students in kindergarten through Grade 12) is the only accredited school on the western coast of Mexico. This bilingual academy educates Mexican children, as well as the growing number of young foreigners who live in Mexico. So, if you once thought that you would have to postpone your plans to retire until the kids have graduated from high school, think again. 

2. Puerto Vallarta has state of the art hospitals, and private practices. It is not difficult to find English speaking doctors who specialize in all sciences including: dentistry; cosmetic surgery; heart disease; various forms of cancer; etc. In addition, Puerto Vallarta is poised for the growing number of dependent elderly. There are a growing number of bilingual hospices in and around Vallarta. 

1. Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta is a safe investment. Mexico has a high percentage of home ownership. However, only 6% of Mexican home owners carry a mortgage, as compared to 65% of Americans and Canadians. The real estate collapse of 2007 was caused in part by homeowners north of the Mexican border borrowing more than they could afford to repay. In Mexico, since the majority of the population own their homes outright, foreclosure is rare.  As such, the cost of your purchase is fair, and the value is likely to grow steadily.
