Thinking about building your dream home in Puerto Vallarta? There is nothing quite like designing a custom sanctuary that is uniquely your own, but before you start picking out floor tiles, you need the perfect canvas.
Selecting a piece of land here is a bit different than back home and we have some tips to guide your search:
- Embrace the Topography: Puerto Vallarta is famous for its stunning hillsides. A sloped lot usually means jaw-dropping, unobstructed ocean views. However, it also means unique architectural challenges and higher foundation costs. Flat lots in valleys or gated communities offer easier builds and great walkability, though you might trade away that panoramic ocean view.
- Check the Infrastructure: It is easy to fall in love with a secluded, rustic lot. Just make sure to verify access to essential utilities like water, electricity, and reliable internet. Navigating local zoning laws (known as Uso de Suelo) is also vital to ensure you can build the size and height you are dreaming of.
- Experience the Neighborhood: Visit your favorite lots at different times of day. A quiet street at noon might get lively at night.
