Looking to invest in Mexican Caribbean real estate without breaking the bank? Yes, properties under $150,000 USD do exist
along the Riviera Maya, but it’s important to understand where, what kind, and what to expect.
From Holbox to Mahahual, the coastline of Quintana Roo offers a wide range of real estate options for every lifestyle
and budget, but beachfront views and turn key villas aren’t typically found in the lowest price ranges. Let’s dive into what’s
possible, and how we can help you find it.
🌴 What You Can Expect Under $150,000
• Studios or small 1-bed condos in central Playa del Carmen, ideal for digital nomads or short-term rentals.
• Off-beach properties in fast-growing towns like Puerto Morelos, Tulum, or Mahahual.
• Lots or fixer-uppers in neighborhoods slightly removed from the beach, but still close enough to enjoy the coastal lifestyle.

🌊 What You Won’t Typically Get Under $150,000
Let’s keep it real: properties with direct ocean views or in luxury beachfront communities generally start at around
$600,000 USD. Villas or private homes with space, views, and premium amenities usually begin around $1,200,000 USD.
That said, smart buyers who are flexible and willing to explore emerging areas can find excellent long-term value
with strategic guidance.

🏡 Can You Still Get Ocean Views? Yes, But…

but they require fast action and often negotiation. We know how to find them.
📍 What Is the Coastal Zone?
The Caribbean Coastline of Quintana Roo extends from Holbox Island in the north to Mahahual in the south
covering the world famous Riviera Maya and beyond. Each town has a distinct rhythm:
• Holbox: Laid back island life, limited development
• Puerto Morelos: Small town charm, expat favorite
• Playa del Carmen: Urban beach lifestyle, rentals hotspot
• Tulum: Boho-chic jungle vibes, high potential but risky for new buyers
• Mahahual: Quiet and affordable, still emerging
