Vallarta/Riviera Nayarit Real Estate Regions
As Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit grown over the years, it has become necessary to continually revisit how real estate regions and sub-regions are divided, to assist people in finding and navigating through the many popular real estate neighborhoods. At the Vallarta Lifestyles Publishing Group (VLPG) we have established the following real estate zones.
First, we refer to the entire region from Barra de Navidad in the south to San Blas in the north as Costa Vallarta. Costa Vallarta encompasses Puerto Vallarta (or the Bay of Banderas), Riviera Nayarit (north of Vallarta to San Blas) and Costalegre (Puerto Vallarta south to Barra de Navidad).
Within these three zones we have identified eight principal regions, which are, starting in the south: Costalegre, South Shore, Central Vallarta (downtown Puerto Vallarta), Vallarta North, Valle-Jalisco, Valle-Nayarit, North Shore and Costa Nayarit. To see exactly where the regions are situated, roll your cursor of the map to the side and they’ll be identified.
Most of these Regions are broken down into smaller sub-regions, to make regional identification even easier. The most popular real estate towns and communities within Costa Vallarta are Puerto Vallarta, Marina Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta/Flamingos, Bucerias, La Cruz, Punta de Mita, Sayulita, San Pancho and San Francisco.
Costa NayaritCosta Nayarit starts at the northerly point of Banderas Bay at Punta Mita and follows the coastline northward. By road, you can access this coastline by following highway #200 out of Bucerias, or by taking the North Shore route through La Cruz out to Punta de Mita.
