Located at the same latitude as Hawaii, Puerto Vallarta has a perfect climate with an average daily temperature of 73°F from November through May with virtually no chance of rain. Vallarta now has a new and growing infrastructure including roads, water treatment plants and distribution systems, power plants and distribution grid, airport, maritime terminal, hospitals, university, etc.

High speed internet, satellite TV, VOIP telecommunications, and US newspapers and magazines are all available in Vallarta. Most of the mega-stores found in the US and Canada have come to Vallarta including Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, Costco, Home Depot, Office Depot, Staples, and of course, every fast food chain restaurant imaginable! Vallarta has seven world class golf courses with three more either in the planning stage or currently under construction. There are hundreds of tennis courts, world class deep sea fishing, and every other activity available that you would expect in a city of this size. There are numerous new cinemas, theaters, and hundreds of fine restaurants.

Although the city has reached a population of 350,000 inhabitants, it still possesses the atmosphere of a small village where everyone seems to know each other. Residents often consider Puerto Vallarta to be charming in an old fashioned way due to the friendliness of its people; where everyone that you meet is readily open to new friendships and easy living.

Due to the explosive growth of Vallarta and the influx of North Americans, it is safe to say that its entire economy is based on tourism and the retirement, thus creating thousands of new construction and service-related jobs for locals. It has also created an atmosphere where speaking English has become a pre-requisite for a decent paying job. Therefore, most of the younger Vallartans are now becoming quite fluent in English. The inability to speak Spanish is certainly not an obstacle to retiring in Vallarta! You will not find a safer, more hospitable city of this size anywhere. In fact, a recent survey ranked Puerto Vallarta the friendliest resort destination in the world.

In your quest for the ‘best’ retirement location in the work, if you can accept what the latest surveys, polls, and indices suggest, Mexico is the country and Puerto Vallarta is the city.

Puerto Vallarta residents will attest to its magical characteristics resulting in a quality of life unsurpassed anywhere in the world. The growth since 2000 has been truly amazing. The head of the local Chamber of Commerce has projected that the population of Vallarta will reach 600,000 by the year 2015. There are currently more than 7,000 new condos currently under construction with well over 20,000 more planned in the future by Fonatur, the Mexican Tourism Board. Because real estate sales in Mexico are generally done on a cash basis, this economy has not been affected by the mortgage related problems seen in the US. Real estate values have tripled since 2000 and continue to appreciate daily. Owning property is surely an investment opportunity of a lifetime.

If you're a baby boomer, either recently retired or about to retire, you owe it to yourself; make Puerto Vallarta your next vacation destination and consider all the qualities it has to offer. You'll definitely be impressed with this glorious Paradise along the Mexican Riviera and will probably agree that Puerto Vallarta is the best place in the world to retire.

Housing runs the gamut from funky little Mexican-style bungalows starting to nicely furnished beachfront condos, to million dollar homes so architecturally stunning they've been featured in Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

The wide variety of condominiums for sale in Puerto Vallarta and the Banderas Bay area offer people affordable retirement or vacation property. Some choose to buy condos in Nuevo Vallarta and Marina Vallarta, where they enjoy living the "high life" in stylish comfort; others prefer to buy condominiums in the quiet neighborhoods of Conchas Chinas and Mismaloya, while still others prefer the "simple life" in the small towns of Bucerias and Sayulita.

Puerto Vallarta has gained a reputation as a prime retirement and vacation destination, and as such, features a real estate market whose value increases steadily year by year. When buying a home in Mexico - whether you are looking for a traditional Mexican Villa in Sayulita, Bucerias, or Cruz de Huanacaxtle, a house in downtown Vallarta, or a million dollar home in Conchas Chinas or Punta de Mita - the areas surrounding Banderas Bay offer a wealth of investment properties.
