ezpz Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 There is an ad in the new OJO del Lago for a new 6-story condo complex but the location isn't stated. They are already advertising "pre-sale". Would anyone actually buy into a condo before it is actually built?? I wondered if this was the new project going up in La Floresta. Out of curiosity I went to the posted website address and found this: http://coreliving.mx/es This website is all Spanish, but the prices are quoted in USD, and goes on to say that the building is located on the carretera in Rancho Del Oro. Does this building actually exist? WTF?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 There is a button in the upper right corner to switch to English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is new construction next to the La Huerta shops on the carretera maybe that is it. 6 stories, I hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Looks like the lifestyle of Puerto Vallarta is coming to Lakeside. Complete with presales which usually account for 30-50% of the total. Very common here. I love the boast of easy auto access! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrod Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 According to the site map, it's on Río Bravo, lake side just south of the carretera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckrckr Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 From the marketing material it looks like the SW corner of Rio Bravo and the Carretera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2tog Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Could the location be on the property where Tabarka was last where the renters were evicted because the owner was going to develop it for something else. There's a lot of property there as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 If you're standing front of Pacifico Fish market looking in, turn and look to your left. It's right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Berca Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Travis usually is. One of the few who doesn't post something unless he knows it to be accurate. Good to see him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EX-PAT2011 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Well, the first line of crap is that it is 25 minutes from the airport. Maybe they mean at 3 o'clock in the morning going 100 kph. Well, there goes the neighborhood. Up next, McDonalds, Burger King, maybe, hopefully a Tim Hortons. Well, we had a good run, but when the Wal-Mart came in, that should have been a warning to the Lakeside area residents. Now a hotel on the highway where Chapala Hacinedas and Las Brisas are? Hey people are probably saying "If you don't like it, then leave". We are. Adios Lakeside, you've grown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Buen viaje, where next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elisabeth Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 As only a prospective resident, I wonder where next too. Proximity to the Walmart isn't my idea of why I would move to Mexico. And I worry about the impact of development on the natural environment, especially without much oversight in the public interest, We will rent rather than buy so we'll be able to move without having to sell a home, but once we commit to moving, I really would like it to be a decision that will hold up over time. So, where next indeed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Elisabeth, No cause for concern. Doing ones due diligence prior to buying a home applies to anywhere in the world, US included. You wouldn't buy a home with a view without making sure no one could build in front of you thus blocking your view. You wouldn't buy a home on one of the islands in Puget Sound without making sure you were ok with commuting to Seattle via ferry. Rent for awhile, sure. When ready to buy just make sure you have an honest realtor. And if you find a house you like, erect a pup tent in front of it and hang out for a few days, and nights!

FWIW, in San Miguel de Allende there are laws in place to protect one's existing view. And they seem to be strictly enforced based on conversations I've had with both homeowners and realtors there. The views there are of the churches; the more churches you can see from your house, the better 'value' you have. The heights of new or remodeled homes near you cannot negatively impact your view.
