The Golf Course
Here's the thing about the Marina Vallarta Golf Club: it's been there since 1990. Joe Finger design. Eighteen holes. Championship course. You walk out your door, you're on the fairway. This isn't some rendering. This isn't "Phase 2 when we get funding." This is operating, maintained, ready-to-play infrastructure the day you move in.
And here's why that matters to you: if you're retiring to Puerto Vallarta, and let's be honest, that's probably why you're here, golf course adjacency isn't a nice-to-have. It's the primary driver. It's what makes this feel like home instead of a vacation rental.
So you're getting golf community lifestyle without paying beachfront pricing. That's the arbitrage. That's where your value sits.
Beach Access
Now, let's talk about the beach. You're 800 meters from Playa de Oro. That's a 10-minute walk. You're not oceanfront.
And before you think that's a problem, let me explain why it's actually working in your favor.
Oceanfront towers in Puerto Vallarta command a 30-50% premium over comparable units. You pay for the view. You pay for the salt air maintenance. You pay for the higher HOA fees because the building takes a beating from the ocean.
Avanti is positioned as a beach-accessible golf community. You get both. You're close enough to walk to the beach when you want it. You're adjacent to the golf course when you want that. But you're not paying the beachfront tax.
Look at what else trades in this category:
Villa Pelicanos: 37 units, golf fairway, averaging $390K
Espacio Marina & Golf: 210 units, 400m from beach, same hybrid positioning
Avanti is priced right in line with these established projects—except you're getting brand-new 2027 construction, not 10-year-old inventory.
Bottom line: You're buying the location advantage without the location penalty. You play 18 holes on Monday, walk to the beach on Tuesday, and pay half what the oceanfront buyers are paying in HOA fees every month.
