Downtown Playa del Carmen: Condos for Sale

Downtown Playa del Carmen is the walkable center of the city, built around Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue), the pedestrian street of restaurants, bars, and shops that runs parallel to the beach. Most buildings are mid-rise condominiums with rooftop pools, from studios to three-bedroom units, many with lock-off layouts. Buyers come for the address: the beach, the Cozumel ferry, supermarkets, and clinics are all on foot, and Cancún International Airport is about 50 minutes north on Highway 307. Downtown covers several colonias, including Gonzalo Guerrero, and Zazil-Ha, each with its own page. Street noise and short-term rental density change from block to block, which is why the exact location of a building matters as much as its finishes. The downtown properties currently on Heron are below.
