Tulum Real Estate: A Guide for U.S and Canadian Buyers

Tulum, Mexico, nestled along the Riviera Maya, has emerged as a top destination for expats and retirees seeking a blend of historical charm, natural beauty, and a laid-back lifestyle. This once-sleepy beach town has evolved into a vibrant community, retaining its Bohemian roots while offering a touch of luxury. Tulum's unique appeal lies in its ability to offer a serene, eco-friendly environment, combined with the allure of its Mayan heritage, making it an ideal haven for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life. What's great about Tulum?

1. An Eco-Friendly Paradise

Tulum’s central town supports a car-free lifestyle with walking, biking, and mopeds as main transport options, emphasizing sustainability. Positioned 80 miles south of Cancún, it balances tranquility with easy city access, meeting rising demands for homes and condos.

2. Why Expats Love Tulum

3. Healthcare Access

Tulum provides reliable healthcare with local clinics and a hospital offering 24/7 emergency care. For specialized services, residents can reach facilities in Playa del Carmen and Cancún, making it a practical choice for retirees.

4. A Relaxed Retirement

Retirees in Tulum enjoy a relaxed, community-oriented lifestyle with beach outings, jungle trails, and social gatherings. Its eco-conscious vibe and slower pace make it a perfect destination for a peaceful, nature-connected retirement.

Tulum offers a lower cost of living than much of the U.S., though rent is higher due to its popularity. Utilities and food remain affordable, with options from street food to upscale dining, allowing for a high-quality lifestyle at a reasonable cost.
