3. 1 Malecon Beach One Beach Street
At 1,320,000 pesos approx. $65,000 US, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo is fractional ownership, and never will be all yours. It sounds good and may give people the idea that you are getting more but it is deeded fractional ownership only! It is in the heart of the Romantic Zone, steps from the beach and close to restaurants, nightlife and the Malecon. However it is similar to a timeshare and will give you a specific period between 2-4 weeks with high monthly maintenance fees. So buyer beware and know what you are buying before you make an offer.  Not a great choice for retirement planning!

Conclusion
With $100,000 US, you have only a few options in Puerto Vallarta. Whether you're looking for a cozy condo in the Los Ramblases neighborhood, or a slightly larger one with a pool in a gated community, there's still something for a budget of $100,000 US in this vibrant city. Each property offers unique features and benefits, so it's essential to consider your preferences and needs when making a decision.
