Select Mexico Properties

The environment is important to Vallartenses. You’ll find that out quickly! A Puerto Vallarta environmental group known as the Grupo Ecológico de Puerto Vallarta, A.C. has planted 150 trees along the Rio Pitillal, one of three rivers that flow through Puerto Vallarta. You’ll find many grassroots efforts to preserve and protect the Puerto Vallarta environment
, including those that plant trees, clean the beaches, recycle, and protect the marine life here. Community members are active in preserving the Puerto Vallarta environment.

In addition, you’ll find that many new homes feature environmentally friendly technology to help reduce the need for additional electricity and water, and reduce the home’s carbon footprint. Solar technology is used to supplement a home’s electrical service. Rainwater runoff can be used to support landscaping, and building designs and materials can be used to keep the home naturally cooler and reduce the need for air conditioning.

Puerto Vallarta is the ideal place to introduce green technologies. The area receives about 300 days of sunshine per year. The rainy season, which takes place during the summer, plays a very important role in Puerto Vallarta environment. Other parts of Mexico may suffer droughts and desert-like temperatures, but Puerto Vallarta stays green and healthy, largely because of the forestation here and the generous rains we do receive during the summer months.

Puerto Vallarta is the ideal place to build a second home or a retirement home, especially if you care about the environment and want to put alternative technologies to work in your life. Select Mexico Properties has a limited number of residential building sites available for sale. These sunny, hillside locations are extremely well suited for solar homes and other green technologies.
