Puerto Morelos

Yes. Foreigners can own property in Cancun via a “fideicomiso”: a trust with a Mexican bank facilitated by a notary. The bank acts as a trustee and follows instructions from the property owner. Via this arrangement, foreigners can have all rights to use, occupy, lease, build, improve, and sell their property.

Puerto Morelos is a fishing Village that has a Particular Geography due to natural reserves that surround it. Like a National Reef Park, Mangroves Reserve, and Jungle Reserves.

Therefore Town is splitted in 2, the Beach side and "el pueblo" that is no more than 10 minutes from the beach.

You can find in the Pueblo Side, Land lots for $50,000 USD, or houses and apartments for $150,000 USD

Now if you really want to be right on the beach, options start at $350,000 usd for a studio all the way to million dollars for a villa or a 3 bedroom condo.

• Even though the average price tag on these properties is high, it’s still way lower than the prices that are seen in American beach cities.

Located twenty minutes south of Cancun’s airport, and thirty minutes north of Playa del Carmen, the small fishing village of Puerto Morelos in Riviera Maya is a favorite for travelers who want to feel off the grid but still be within a quick drive of a big city.

The only time you’ll notice an influx of visitors is during summer when the annual fishing tournaments take place. Many of Puerto Morelos’ hotels are huddled around the 4-block-wide, 15-block-long seaside part of town and are on the smaller side (think less than 40 rooms), but for travelers who would like the amenities of an all-inclusive resort, there are some located just outside of town.

Strolling along the main beach in Puerto Morelos, you’ll come across El Faro Inclinado, or the leaning lighthouse, a symbol of the city. While you’re here, you won’t want to miss seeing the National Reef Park of Puerto Morelos, which is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef—the second-largest in the world. This reef also runs along the length of Quintana Roo. What makes Puerto Morelos unique is that this part of the reef is just 400 meters away from the shore! It only takes a few minutes by boat for snorkelers and divers to reach from the dock downtown.
