Riviera Nayarit, Mexico was recently recognized as one of the top locations in the world to buy a vacation home. The list was compiled by Kevin Brass over at the International Property Journal, and covers the top 10 locations worldwide to buy a vacation home. Brass points out in his article that the locations were chosen with a bias towards American buyers, though,  so locations which might be favorites of Europeans, but not Americans, were left off the list. Brass also gave preference to locations that are not overly commercialized.

Brass liked Riviera Nayarit because it is experiencing a boom of luxury home development, and is located close to Puerto Vallarta – which he calls “One of Mexico’s classic, romantic old cities.” He also points out that while Mexico is getting a bad rap from the drug violence, it really isn’t anything new. And we will add, as we have discussed before, the majority of this violence is centralized in a few metropolitan areas.

While we are obviously biased towards Mexico on this blog, there are many other great locations that made the list as well. To read the entire article from Brass visit his website www.internationalpropertyjournal.com.
