The majority of the homes in Playa Hermosa have been built in the last 2-7 years, so most of the construction is fairly new, and well appointed. There are few true beachfront homes in the area, with more houses available walking distance to the beach. High end residences are in hills and this is the ideal location for the luxury home buyer who seeks privacy with proximity to a mellow surfing and swimming beach.
The beachfront of Playa Hermosa will eventually see higher density commercial development, so we recommend purchasing homes in Playa Hermosa based on 2 factors. First, if you want a vacation home, walking distance to the beach, with high rental income potential when not in use by owner, Playa Hermosa is ideal. Second, if you want an exclusive view property, with access to a family friendly beach that is in the process of developing high end amenities, the hills above Playa Hermosa are perfect.
