Yucatan real estate already benefits from one of the most awe-inspiring colonial city centers to be found in Mexico or beyond; the government, on all three levels, has also shown a clear commitment to both maintain and improve the quality of its image to keep both visiting and living in Merida one of the most attractive options available.
The historic center of Merida, which has been called a "colonial jewel," combines colonial architecture with beautiful parks and squares, where residents can enjoy romantic walks, excellent restaurants, musicians, such as the traditional Mexican Mariachi, who play in restaurants, but are also known to strike up a piece in the middle of the street for the benefit of all passers-by.
Yucatan MLS listings include beautiful Mexican style homes within a very short walk of the historic center, sometimes quaint little homes that can be acquired for on a very low budget, other times larger homes which recall the splendor of Mexico's history.
There are also newer homes in the outlying areas which provide close access to malls, golf courses, and many other services.
Beachfront homes and large estates are also options in the nearby communities.
Whichever style is most suitable, you are never far from Merida's colonial city center.
Of course, those who live nearby will enjoy those relaxing evening walks the most.
The colonial city center is defined by a cathedral dating to slightly after the conquest, a beautiful city square with tall trees and park benches, original civil buildings, and many other colonial gems.
Life in Merida is laid-back and relaxing, and those who live here have the time to go for walks and enjoy the visual gems and rich culture this city provides.
